No — dishwasher repair is appliance technician work, not plumbing. We install and connect new dishwashers, including any plumbing work needed to support the hookup. If your existing dishwasher has stopped working, an appliance repair technician is who you'll want for that.

A simple way to tell: if water isn't reaching the dishwasher, isn't draining away from it, or is leaking from somewhere outside the unit itself — that's plumbing. If the dishwasher is filling and draining fine but isn't cleaning, isn't drying, isn't starting a cycle, or is making an unusual noise during operation, that's almost always the appliance itself.

A few quick checks:

Leak under the cabinet, not under the unit → likely a supply line, drain line, or connection issue (we handle this)

No water entering the dishwasher at all → could be a shutoff valve or supply line issue (we handle this) or an internal water inlet valve (appliance issue)

Water won't drain, missing air gap/high loop, or old plumbing needs repiping → a plumbing issue (we handle this)

Dishes aren't getting clean, won't start, error codes → almost always the appliance itself (call an appliance technician)

If you're not sure, call us. We'll help you figure out which one it is — and tell you honestly if it's not something we handle, rather than taking the job anyway.

We install dishwashers you've already purchased or are planning to purchase as part of a renovation. Bring us the model and we'll confirm it's compatible with your kitchen's existing setup before installation day.

Older homes sometimes have shutoff valves that have seized over time, drain lines without a proper air gap or high loop, or wiring that wasn't set up for a modern dishwasher's electrical needs. We check all of this before we start and tell you upfront if anything needs to be addressed — most installs don't require extra work, but it's common enough in older Guelph homes that we always check first.

An air gap (or a high loop, depending on your setup) prevents dirty water from your sink drain from siphoning back into your dishwasher. Many municipalities require one by code. If your current setup doesn't have one, we'll point it out and include it as part of the installation.

Yes. We regularly coordinate with renovation timelines — connecting a new dishwasher after counter and cabinet work is one of our most common calls. We work around your contractor's schedule and protect your new finishes while we work.

Most installations are completed in a single visit, often within an hour or two, assuming no additional plumbing work is needed. If a valve replacement or drain correction is required, we'll let you know before starting and complete it the same visit.
