Your Dishwasher Is Violating Code — And You Don’t Even Know It!
A new dishwasher seems like one of the simpler appliances to replace… until you realize it’s actually one of the most complex. Plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, and code requirements all meet in one tight location — under the sink.
At Principal Property Solutions, we provide professional dishwasher installation across all of New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania, ensuring a safe, leak-free setup that protects your home and investment.
❌ Why Dishwasher Installation Isn’t a DIY Job
Most dishwashers require more than just sliding the old one out and the new one in. Common hidden problems we discover include:
🚫 Bad or Frozen Shut-Off Valves
Older angle stops under the sink may not fully close, leak when touched, or snap off — leading to immediate flooding.
⚡ No GFCI-Protected Outlet
Modern code requires dishwashers on a dedicated, GFCI-protected 15–20A circuit. Many older homes still have:
Hard-wired (no plug) appliances
Shared circuits that overload
No GFCI protection = safety hazard
🌀 Improper Drain Setup
We frequently find:
No high loop or air gap → water backs into dishwasher
Kinked or crushed hoses
Garbage disposal not punched out
🧰 Tight Cabinetry Tolerances
Incorrect leveling or alignment can cause leaks or door failures — and sometimes the new dishwasher simply doesn’t fit without modifications.
💧 Slow or Hidden Leaks
Even a tiny plumbing leak can damage cabinets and flooring before you even know it happened.
