What you can do before we arrive
Find the shut-off valve for the appliance before anything else, usually under the kitchen sink for the dishwasher and behind or below the refrigerator for the ice maker. If there is none, the main shut-off is your only way to stop a leak.
What we see in Upstate homes
In Upstate crawl space homes, a slow leak under a dishwasher can soak the subfloor and show up as a soft spot in the kitchen floor or a stain in the crawl space. Replacing old plastic ice maker tubing with braided line is one of the cheapest leak prevention steps a homeowner can take.
Keeping it from coming back
Replace plastic ice maker tubing with braided line, check under the dishwasher with a flashlight a few times a year, and put a leak alarm on the floor behind the refrigerator.
Questions about dishwasher & ice maker line hookup
Should an ice maker line be copper or plastic?
Braided stainless line is the best choice. Old plastic tubing becomes brittle and is a common source of slow leaks behind refrigerators.
Why does my dishwasher drain into my sink?
Usually the drain hose has no high loop or air gap, or the disposal knockout plug was never removed. Both are quick fixes.
Do you install the dishwasher itself?
We connect the plumbing and set it in place. Electrical work beyond plugging into an existing outlet is for an electrician.
