We hired Steve to swap out my dishwasher with a brand new unit. He came in with his crew. He was professional, courteous, clean, and knew exactly what he was doing. I am completely satisfied with the quality of work, would not hesitate to reach out to him again in the future, God bless you.

Dishwasher Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, if your filter is damaged or simply too debris-filled to be of use, replace it with a new component. Check the instruction manual that accompanied the dishwasher for information as to the specific part. There are many online marketplaces that sell these parts, but perform due diligence to ensure you buy the right one.

Some common signs you have a dirty dishwasher filter are:

Food sticking to your dishes even after a thorough wash cycle
Odor coming from your dishwasher
Stains left on dishes and utensils
Water pooling in your dishwasher
Food stuck to parts of the dishwasher, like the racks, walls, or sprayer arm

Costs depend on labor rates, replacement part prices, brand, and whether emergency service is required.

Installing a dishwasher should take one to four hours, depending on the complexity of the installation and whether you DIY or hire a pro. Even if you're particularly handy, installing a dishwasher on your own will likely take longer — at least two hours. On the other hand, a professional can likely install a dishwasher in about an hour. Installation time will take longer if you have to remove an existing dishwasher, reroute plumbing, or repair damaged flooring underneath the appliance.

Yes, a dishwasher needs an air gap to prevent backflow. Additionally, in many locations, air gaps or another measure to prevent backflow are required for building code compliance. There are alternatives to an air gap, like a Studor vent or a loop and trap design, but an air gap is the simplest and most popular solution.
