Dishwasher removal across the Golden Isles.
Built-in, portable, hardwired. Disconnection included. Most customers don’t want to crawl under the kitchen counter trying to figure out which line is the supply and which is the drain. We do it.
Dishwasher removal looks like a quick appliance haul until you remember what’s under the cabinet. There’s a water supply line, a drain line, and an electrical connection — usually hardwired into a junction box behind the dishwasher, sometimes plugged into a dedicated outlet, occasionally both. Disconnection is the friction point. Most haulers want it done before they show up. We don’t.
The most common call is the homeowner replacing a failed dishwasher and needing the old one gone before the new one arrives. Sometimes the new dishwasher is sitting in a box in the garage waiting on the old one to leave. Sometimes the kitchen renovation is staged behind the work and the dishwasher is the first thing out. Either way the customer doesn’t need to be the one shutting off the water valve and capping the drain.
We disconnect on site. Water valve under the sink shuts off, supply line capped or pulled. Drain line uncoupled from the disposal or the air gap. Electrical disconnected at the junction box if hardwired, unplugged if it’s on an outlet. Then it’s a two-person carry out the kitchen — most dishwashers are 24 inches wide, 35 inches tall, 24 inches deep, and they fit through any standard interior doorway.
Old dishwashers don’t carry refrigerant. Disposal is straight appliance disposal — most of the unit is steel, so it routes through scrap-metal recyclers rather than the landfill. The plastic interior tub and the electronics break out separately at the recycler. Same network we use for any appliance with metal mass.
What we haul
Specifically, what we take for dishwasher removal.
- Built-in dishwashers (under-counter, the standard install)
- Portable dishwashers (countertop and freestanding rolling units)
- Dishwasher drawers (single and double drawer units)
- Hardwired dishwashers (most builds before 2010)
- Plug-in dishwashers (more common in newer builds)
- Brand-agnostic — Bosch, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Samsung, GE, all of them
- Failed units, working units, units pulled during kitchen renovations
- Dishwashers from rental properties and STR turnovers
How we work
How we actually handle it.
Most dishwasher jobs run thirty minutes start to finish. Disconnection adds ten to fifteen minutes if the customer hasn’t done it. We bring tools — adjustable wrench for the supply line, channel locks for the drain coupling, screwdriver and a pair of wire nuts for the junction box. The water valve under the sink is the first move; we shut it off before anything else.
Pulling the dishwasher out of the cabinet sometimes takes a minute longer than expected. The retaining brackets at the top of the cabinet are screwed into the underside of the countertop. Two screws on most builds — one on each side. The brackets release, the unit rolls out on its own legs, and we lift it onto the dolly.
Stairs add time on second-floor laundry rooms or basement-installed dishwashers, but most dishwashers live on the main floor. Two-person carry handles the weight without issue.
Pricing
How pricing works.
Dishwasher pricing scales with whether disconnection is needed and where the unit lives in the house. Customer-disconnected dishwashers in accessible kitchens are the lightest version. Hardwired units in tight kitchens with the cabinetry tightly built around them run a bit heavier because of the extra time.
Phone quotes are reliable for dishwasher work. Photos help when the kitchen layout is unusual or the unit is paneled to match the cabinetry (which means brackets in the front of the panel that need attention). Multi-appliance jobs — dishwasher plus refrigerator, plus stove, plus microwave during a kitchen remodel — are common and cost less per unit than each one separately.
We don’t price disconnection as a separate line item. It’s part of the appliance work. The customer paying for dishwasher removal is paying for the appliance gone, including whatever’s needed to make that happen.
