Our Dishwasher & Disposal Services

Dishwasher Installation

We handle new and replacement dishwasher installations, including plumbing, drainage, and electrical coordination. Our experts ensure a secure, watertight connection that supports efficient operation and meets all manufacturer and code specifications. We also verify power supply compatibility and run full tests after installation to confirm smooth performance.

Garbage Disposal Installation

Whether you're adding a disposal to a new sink or replacing an outdated model, we provide proper electrical hookups, drain alignment, and leak-proof sealing for long-lasting performance. We also ensure the disposal is appropriately sized for your household needs and install safety switches when applicable.

Appliance Replacements

If your existing unit is leaking, noisy, or failing, we offer fast and clean replacement services. We remove old appliances, update plumbing as needed, and install new units with minimal disruption to your kitchen routine. All connections are pressure-tested for reliability, and we dispose of the old appliance responsibly.

Leak Detection & Repair

Small leaks can lead to major issues if left unaddressed. We identify and repair leaks in water lines, drainpipes, and appliance fittings to keep your kitchen dry and safe. Our team uses precision tools to locate hidden leaks behind walls or under cabinets. Quick intervention not only prevents structural damage but also helps you avoid spikes in utility bills.

Clog & Jam Removal

Disposals often jam due to food debris, bone fragments, or foreign objects. We quickly and safely remove obstructions without damaging your unit and check the system for deeper drainage concerns. If needed, we recalibrate or replace components to ensure your disposal runs smoothly again.

Dishwasher Drainage Solutions

If your dishwasher isn't draining properly, we troubleshoot the entire drainage line—from air gaps to sink traps—and restore full flow. This prevents standing water, odors, and potential appliance damage. We clean out blockages, replace faulty check valves, and ensure the drain hose is correctly routed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How long does it take to install a dishwasher or garbage disposal?

    Most installations take 1 to 2 hours if plumbing and electrical connections are already in place. More complex upgrades or replacements may take slightly longer, depending on the condition of existing fixtures and cabinetry. Our team ensures minimal disruption and leaves the area clean once the job is complete.

  • Can I replace a dishwasher myself, or should I hire a plumber?

    Dishwasher replacement involves water lines, drainage, and electrical work. Hiring a licensed plumber ensures code compliance, prevents leaks, and helps you avoid costly mistakes from DIY installation attempts. It also protects your appliance warranty, which may be voided by improper installation.

  • What causes a garbage disposal to jam or stop working?

    Common causes include fibrous foods, bones, grease buildup, or foreign objects. We can safely remove blockages, check motor function, and advise on preventive measures for long-term health. Regular maintenance and mindful use can greatly reduce the risk of damage.

  • Why does my dishwasher smell bad or not drain properly?

    This is often due to clogged filters, blocked drainage lines, or improper installation. We inspect and clear obstructions while ensuring the drainage setup is aligned correctly for smooth operation. Regular cleaning and filter checks can help keep your dishwasher running fresh and efficiently.

  • Will hard water affect my dishwasher or disposal performance?

    Yes. Hard water causes scale buildup in spray arms, valves, and motors. We recommend using water softeners or compatible plumbing features to protect your appliance from mineral damage. Our installations take local water conditions into account to extend appliance life.

  • Do I need a new air gap with a dishwasher installation?

    In many cases, yes. An air gap prevents dirty water from backing into the dishwasher. We’ll evaluate your setup and install or connect the appropriate backflow prevention system. This small addition plays a big role in maintaining sanitary kitchen plumbing.

  • Can I install a disposal under any kitchen sink?

    Most standard sinks are compatible, but we check for necessary space, support, and plumbing access. We also assess whether the electrical setup can accommodate a new disposal unit. Our technicians make adjustments as needed to ensure a secure, code-compliant fit.

  • What are the signs I need a new dishwasher or disposal?

    Signs include leaking, poor drainage, foul odors, loud operation, and frequent repairs. We help you evaluate whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective based on your appliance’s age and condition. Investing in a new unit may save money in the long run and improve performance.
