When It’s Time to Call a Pro for Dishwasher Hookup.
Some installs are simple. Others turn messy quickly. If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to bring in a TruTech-trained plumber instead of rolling the dice under the sink.
New Dishwasher Still in the Box
You’ve got the appliance, but the old shutoff valves, copper lines, or drain setup don’t quite match up. We’ll update everything so the new unit hooks up safely.
Previous DIY or Delivery Install
Wet cabinet bottoms, musty smells, or kinked hoses after a recent install usually mean the plumbing wasn’t done quite right. We’ll fix the connections and stop the leaks.
Water on the Floor or in the Basement
Any sign of water escaping near the dishwasher, sink base, or below on the ceiling is a red flag. We track down the source and repair it before it turns into major damage.
Dishwasher Not Draining Properly
Standing water in the bottom of the tub, gurgling sinks, or backups into the disposal often point to a poor drain tie-in or a clogged kitchen line.
No Air Gap or High Loop
If your drain line runs flat or straight to the disposal, dirty water can flow back into the dishwasher. We add proper air gap or high loop protection.
Old, Stuck, or Missing Shutoff Valves
If you can’t easily shut the water off to the dishwasher, we’ll install new, accessible valves so service and future replacements are simple.
Active leak or water spreading fast?
Shut off the water if it’s safe to do so, then call us. We prioritize active leaks and water damage calls.

Dishwasher Hookup FAQs.
Here are answers to common questions Omaha homeowners ask us about dishwasher installation and plumbing.
Do you provide the dishwasher, or should I buy it first?
Most homeowners purchase the dishwasher they want from an appliance store, then call us to handle the plumbing hookup. If you’re not sure what to buy, we can share what tends to work well with local water and drain conditions.
Can you install a dishwasher where one has never been before?
Yes. We can add new hot water, shutoff valves, and drain connections for a first-time dishwasher install, as long as there is suitable space and electrical service. We’ll review options during the visit and give you a clear plan.
Do I need an air gap on my dishwasher in Omaha?
Many local codes require either a countertop air gap or an approved high loop for the drain line. We’ll follow current code and manufacturer recommendations so your install passes inspection and helps prevent dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher.
What if my kitchen drain is slow or backing up?
A slow or backing-up kitchen sink often means the line is partially clogged — which can cause the dishwasher to hold water. Omaha Drain can clear the kitchen line and then connect the dishwasher so both work correctly together.
Can you move my dishwasher to a different spot?
In many cases, yes. Moving a dishwasher usually involves rerouting water, drain, and sometimes electrical lines. We’ll walk you through what’s possible, what it will take, and provide options so you can decide what fits your project and budget.
