"It wasn’t until after our tankless water heater was fixed by Dream Home Plumbing that I realized how cold our water had been for 4 (!!) months & how bad the water pressure was!! They did such a fantastic job! Our water temp had dipped back in the winter and I’m embarrassed DHP wasn’t my first call but as a first time home owner we just picked a random plumber. The issue wasn’t corrected and only got worse. One call to DHP, Andrei was over within hours and suggested 3 possible issues AND 3 solid solutions. It was the first time we felt confident we’d have hot water again. Something we found really admirable is that part of finding the solution (& cost savings for in-warranty parts just in the nick of time) was waiting on hold and talking to customer service support for our tankless. It was likely tedious & time consuming but it was necessary & a step I saw first hand other plumbers might not do for you. We are so grateful! Arguably the best plumbers in the western burbs!"

Water quality testing is an important aspect of plumbing to ensure that the water in your home is safe and free from contaminants. This can include testing for bacteria, lead, pesticides, and other harmful substances. Testing can be done by a professional or with at-home test kits, and regular testing is recommended to ensure the ongoing safety of your water supply. If any issues are found, a plumber can help diagnose and fix the problem to ensure that your water is safe to drink and use.
Lab Tested
Water quality testing for plumbing can be done through lab testing. This involves collecting a water sample and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. The lab will test the water for a variety of contaminants, including bacteria, lead, pesticides, and other harmful substances. This type of testing is highly accurate and can detect even small levels of contaminants.
Lead, Arsenic, Coliform, Nitrate detection
Lead, arsenic, coliform, and nitrate are some of the most common contaminants found in household water. These contaminants can have serious health effects, so it is important to have your water tested for them. Lead can cause developmental and neurological issues, while arsenic can cause cancer and other illnesses. Coliform is a type of bacteria that can indicate the presence of other harmful bacteria. Nitrate is a chemical that can cause “blue baby syndrome”
Water Filtration System Installation
If your water quality test results show that your water contains harmful contaminants, a water filtration system can be installed to remove them. There are a variety of filtration systems available, including carbon filters, reverse osmosis systems, and UV sterilizers. A plumber can help you choose the right system for your home and install it to ensure that your water is safe to drink and use. Regular maintenance and replacement of filters is also crucial to maintain the efficiency of the filtration system.
