Washing machine and dishwasher connection
A poor connection on a washing machine or dishwasher is one of the most common causes of water damage in bathrooms and kitchens. We connect the appliance so it's tight and can be quickly isolated from the water if needed.
- Call-outs around the clock
- Price confirmed before the work
- An honest assessment of the problem
Scope of work
- Installing a separate shut-off valve for the appliance
- Connecting the water inlet hose
- Connecting the drain to the siphon or sewage
- Levelling the appliance and checking the connections
- Leak check at the connections
A small detail that matters
A dedicated shut-off valve for the appliance means that in case of a leak the water can be cut off with one move, without shutting off the whole apartment's water. We recommend it even when the appliance is simply being replaced.
Typical connection problems
- The inlet hose is too short or has the wrong thread
- The drain hose sits too deep in the siphon and creates back-pressure
- A missing shut-off valve makes disconnecting the appliance later harder
- The appliance isn't level, which speeds up wear on hoses and bearings
What to think through before ordering
It's worth checking whether the kitchen or bathroom cabinet already has a spot prepared for the appliance with water and drain connections, or whether these still need to be built. If the appliance is placed further from the existing connection, allow for a longer hose run and extra fittings.
What affects the scope of work
- Whether the appliance already has a water and drain connection or one needs to be built
- Whether a separate shut-off valve is installed
- The appliance's distance from the existing connection
- Whether the drain connects to a siphon or directly to the sewage
We connect appliances in Tallinn and Harjumaa
We connect washing machines and dishwashers in Tallinn apartments and private houses and the nearby Harjumaa municipalities, as well as at business premises where the appliance is part of daily work.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you also connect a dishwasher built into a kitchen cabinet?
- Yes, we connect the water and drain and check that the hoses aren't pinched and the connections are tight.
- Is a separate shut-off valve necessary?
- It's not mandatory, but we recommend it: in case of a leak the water can be shut off just for the appliance, without shutting off the whole apartment's water.
- Do you run a test cycle?
- Yes, we run the appliance through a cycle, or at least the water inlet and drain stage, and check the connections for leaks.
