A dishwasher is one of the most common causes of water damage in kitchens — not because the machine itself is “dangerous”, but because wrong connections, worn valves or a poorly placed hose can create a drip that no one notices until it becomes moisture damage. That’s why a professional dishwasher installation is more than just “hooking up” water and drainage.
When we install a dishwasher we make sure connections, valves and hose routing are right from the start. We check that shut‑offs work, that fittings match the installation and that everything is service‑friendly — so you can easily shut off water if needed and future replacements go smoothly.
We help both when you’ve bought a new dishwasher and when you’re replacing an older one. With replacements it’s common to discover stiff valves, worn fittings or a drain connection that needs adjustment to avoid odor and poor drainage. We look at the whole setup and test‑run/check so you can feel safe afterwards.
We work across the Falkenberg municipality and are based in Ätran. Want to make it easy? Send a photo under the sink and tell us which machine it is — then we can often bring the right parts and make the installation faster.

A proper installation has three parts: water in, drain out, and everything tight and safe inside the cabinet. We connect the dishwasher to the existing water supply and drain solution, and make sure the fittings are installed correctly.
We also check that the shut‑off valve works as it should. If it sticks or doesn’t close fully, we tell you clearly, because a working shut‑off is your fastest “lifeline” if something happens.
Hose routing and placement is another key part. Hoses should not be under tension, pinched by drawers, or rubbing against sharp edges. Small things — but they’re where future problems often start.
Finally we test for tightness and function. The goal is that you can start your next wash with a calm feeling.
Sometimes you can, but the risks are in the details. Many leaks don’t appear immediately — they start as a “slow drip” from a fitting that doesn’t seal fully or a valve that doesn’t hold under pressure.
Another common mistake is reusing old fittings or seals that are already worn. It can be tight “right then,” but start leaking after a few days as everything settles.
The drain side can also cause problems. A wrong connection can lead to poor drainage, backflow or odors under the sink — and then the problem ends up right in your day‑to‑day life.
If you want to avoid uncertainty and minimize the risk of moisture damage, a professional installation is a cheap insurance policy.
Yes — in practice, a working shut‑off is one of the most important safety details. If something happens, you want to be able to shut off water quickly without turning off the whole house.
In many kitchens there is a valve under the sink (often called Ballofix). The issue is that it may be old and unused for a long time, which makes it stiff or unable to seal fully when you close it.
When we install, we check the shut‑off. If it doesn’t feel reliable, we recommend replacing it so you have a safe solution going forward.
It’s not about “selling extras” — it’s about you not being stuck with a leak you can’t stop quickly.
The best thing you can do is clear access under the sink. Remove cleaning supplies, trash bags and anything that’s in the way, and the job goes faster and smoother.
If it’s a replacement: if you can safely pull the old dishwasher out a bit, that helps. But don’t worry — we can assist on site if it’s tight or heavy.
If you have a new machine: keep it near the kitchen and, if possible, open the packaging so we can see hoses, manuals and any accessories. Some models have specific solutions that are good to catch early.
Feel free to send a photo under the sink in advance. Then we can often see if something needs to be added and bring the right parts directly.
Odor problems usually come from the drain connection — not the dishwasher. If the connection ends up wrong, if the trap doesn’t work as it should, or if hose routing is unfavorable, it can start to smell.
It can also be due to old buildup or a partial blockage in the drain. When you reconnect things, that can get “stirred up” and become noticeable.
Another cause is a hose laid so that water sits in the wrong part of the system. That can create a musty smell, especially in heavily used kitchens.
When we install, we make sure the drain solution is logical and tight, and if we see signs that a blockage is developing we tell you directly.
Yes, often it can be solved — but how depends on how the kitchen is built and what pipework exists. In some cases there are prepared connections that just aren’t used today. In others, we need to extend with the right fittings and valves.
The important thing is that it’s done in a service‑friendly and safe way. A “quick fix” that ends up under tension or is hard to shut off is not a good long‑term solution.
Send photos of what it looks like under the sink and where the dishwasher will stand. Then we can often explain the options and what’s most reasonable before we even book.
The goal is always an installation you can rely on — not just something that “works for now.”
If everything is prepared and the connections are in good shape, it often goes quickly. But what can take time is what you don’t see: stiff valves, old fittings, odd dimensions, or a drain that needs adjustment.
A replacement can also take longer if the old machine is hard to remove, if it’s tight behind toe‑kicks, or if hose routing needs adjustment for a really solid installation.
We don’t rush the fittings. An extra check and a proper leak test is often what separates a safe installation from one that “might hold.”
If you want a more exact estimate, send photos and model, and we can often tell if anything looks like it needs extra work.
Sometimes it can be the installation, but not always. If the machine won’t take in water it might be that the shut‑off isn’t fully open, the inlet filter is clogged, or water pressure is too low.
Error codes can also be caused by leak protection being triggered, hoses connected incorrectly, or the drain not working properly. That can lead to poor draining, stoppages or the machine stopping mid‑cycle.
We troubleshoot methodically: we check shut‑offs, flow, hose routing and the drain connection, and we compare the setup to the machine’s requirements.
Often it’s quick to solve once the root cause is found — and then you don’t have to guess your way through it yourself.
The most common is small leaks from fittings that weren’t sealed correctly or were tightened with the wrong feel — either too loose (drip) or too tight (damaged seal). Both can cause problems.
The next common issue is hose routing that gets pinched or rubs. It might work for a while, but over time a hose can get damaged when drawers move or when you clean inside the cabinet.
We also often see valves that don’t work. People “shut off,” but it doesn’t close fully — and then there’s an unpleasant surprise when a hose is removed.
When we install, we always look at the whole setup, not just the new machine. That’s how you build real peace of mind.
The best is if you can answer three things: is it a new installation or a replacement, what type of kitchen (standard cabinet/compact solution), and whether you know the dishwasher model.
If you can, send a photo under the sink showing valves and drain. Then we can often see right away if anything needs to be added and bring the right parts.
Also mention anything that’s currently an issue — for example dripping, odor, stiff shut‑offs or blockages. That helps us plan better and reduces the risk of an “extra visit.”
The better the information, the faster the job — and the safer the end result.
