Door that rubs the cabinet or won't sit flush
A dishwasher set out of level twists its door, so it scrapes a neighbor or leaves an uneven gap. We level all four feet and line the front up with the cabinets.

Dishwasher installation problems we solve in Bolingbrook
Most dishwasher problems after an install come from three places: a kinked or low drain hose, a fitting that weeps, or a unit that was never fastened to the counter. Our Bolingbrook installers connect, level and secure every machine per the maker's instructions and watch it fill and drain.
Panel-ready dishwasher to match the cabinets
A panel-ready dishwasher takes a cabinet door on the front. We mount the panel so it lines up with the doors around it and the hinge tension suits the weight.
Old water valve that won't close
Shutoff valves under the sink often seize after years untouched. If yours won't turn off fully, we replace it before connecting the new machine.
New dishwasher sitting in the box
The store delivered it, but nobody connected it. We unbox the unit, check it for shipping damage and install it in the existing opening.
Hardwired or plug-in: not sure which
We look at how power reaches the opening and install the new machine with either a power cord kit or a hardwired connection in its box.
Water pooling after the last install
Puddles at the front of the dishwasher usually mean a loose supply fitting, a missing gasket on the drain or a unit that isn't level. We find the source and fix the connection.
Stone or quartz counter with nothing to screw into
You can't drive screws up into granite or quartz. We use the maker's side-mount brackets to fasten the dishwasher to the neighboring cabinets instead.
Adding a dishwasher where there was none
Converting a cabinet into a dishwasher space is a small project, not a swap. We handle the cabinet work, plumbing and electrical, with a permit where it's required.

Dishwasher Installation questions from Bolingbrook homeowners
Does a dishwasher need its own circuit?
Often, yes. We check the installation guide for your model and the existing wiring, and bring in an electrician when a new circuit is needed.
Do you take away the old dishwasher?
We do. Removal and haul-away can be part of the same visit.
Can you add a dishwasher to a kitchen that doesn't have one?
We can. It's usually done next to the sink to keep the plumbing short.
Do I need a high loop or an air gap?
Either keeps dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher. Some codes require an air gap; others accept a high loop. We install what applies locally.
How long does it take to install a dishwasher?
Typically a few hours for a replacement, including the test cycle. New openings are planned as a small project instead.
Can Bolingbrook bulk pickup take my old appliance or cabinets?
