The Roto-Rooter Difference in Professional Dishwasher Installation
Handymen and store installers often do a great job, but they lack the understanding of kitchen plumbing and drainage systems that a professional Roto-Rooter plumber has.
Dishwasher Installation Process
With a Roto-Rooter professional dishwasher installation, you can feel confident that your dishwasher will provide years of reliable service.
- Site Inspection and Pre-Install Prep
We assess available space, plumbing shut-off valves, drain setup, electrical connections, and garbage disposal configuration to ensure compatibility and a smooth installation. - Old Unit Removal (if applicable)
Our team safely disconnects and removes the old dishwasher, capping the supply and drain lines to prevent leaks. - Water Supply Line Installation
We install or replace the dishwasher water supply line, ensuring a tight, kink-free connection that maintains steady water flow. - Drain Hose Integration
We connect the dishwasher drain hose using a high loop or air gap, securing it to the garbage disposal or sink drain line to prevent dirty water from backing up. - Electrical Connection and Leveling
Power is connected in compliance with local codes. The unit is leveled and secured to prevent shifting or vibration. - Testing and Demonstration
A full water and power test cycle is run to check for leaks and proper operation. We also review basic maintenance steps with the customer. - Clean-Up and Disposal
We leave your kitchen clean and ready for use and haul away the old dishwasher if requested.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install a dishwasher?
Dishwasher installation typically costs between $150 and $300, depending on plumbing complexity, electrical work, and local labor rates.
Why does my dishwasher smell?
Dishwasher odors often come from food residue, clogged filters, buildup around the door seal gasket, or standing water. Regular cleaning and checking the drain can eliminate bad smells.
Why is my dishwasher not filling with water?
If your dishwasher isn’t filling, it could be caused by a closed water valve, a kinked hose, or a malfunctioning water inlet valve. A plumber can diagnose and fix these issues quickly.
How long does it take to install a dishwasher?
Professional dishwasher installation usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the existing plumbing and electrical setup.
Do I need a plumber to install a dishwasher, or can I install it myself?
You can install a dishwasher yourself if you have basic plumbing and electrical skills, but hiring a licensed plumber ensures a safe, code-compliant installation and helps avoid leaks or damage.
