Appliance Installation
New appliances deserve proper connections. We handle the plumbing side of appliance installation — water supply lines, drain connections, and safe removal of old units — so everything runs reliably from day one.
Getting a new dishwasher, refrigerator, or washing machine is the easy part. Making sure the water supply, drain connections, and shutoff valves are done right is what keeps the appliance — and your home — running without issues.
We handle appliance plumbing connections for homeowners and property managers across Truckee and North Lake Tahoe. Whether it’s a simple hookup or a more involved installation requiring new supply lines, we make sure everything is secure, tested, and clean.
Dishwasher Installation
Proper dishwasher installation means more than plugging in a water line. We connect supply and drain lines, ensure the air gap or high loop is correct, and test the full cycle before we leave. If your existing connections need upgrading, we handle that too.
Refrigerator Water Lines
A reliable water line to your fridge means consistent ice production and filtered water without the risk of leaks behind the unit. We install copper or braided stainless lines with dedicated shutoff valves — a small detail that makes a big difference for maintenance and leak prevention.
Washing Machine Hookups
From supply valve installation to drain line routing, we set up washing machine connections that handle the demands of modern high-efficiency units. For homes with laundry rooms on upper floors, proper drain routing is especially important.
Ice Maker & Filtration Lines
We run dedicated water lines for standalone ice makers, under-sink filtration systems, and other specialty connections. Every line includes a shutoff valve for easy service access.
Common issues we resolve
Dishwasher Leaks After Installation
Improper supply or drain connections are the most common cause of post-install leaks. We ensure every connection is secure, tested, and properly routed.
Refrigerator Water Line Issues
Kinked tubing, loose fittings, or undersized lines cause slow ice production and leaks behind the fridge. We install durable lines with proper shutoff valves.
Washing Machine Drain Problems
Overflowing standpipes and slow drains often result from improper drain sizing or routing. We set up drain connections that handle full-cycle discharge reliably.
No Water to Ice Maker
A missing or improperly tapped water line is usually the culprit. We run dedicated lines with inline shutoffs for easy maintenance.
Old Appliance Removal Complications
Disconnecting old units safely — especially gas appliances — requires proper shutoff and capping. We handle removal cleanly and to code.
