Dishwashers, disposals, ice maker lines, washing machines, and more — installed right the first time. Serving all of Shelby County.
Appliance hookups look simple from the outside. But an improper water supply connection, a misaligned drain line, or a missed shutoff valve can cause a slow leak that goes unnoticed for months — until there's water damage under your cabinets or behind your walls.
Professor Plumb handles appliance installations by licensed plumbers who know the codes, make the connections correctly, and confirm everything is leak-free before they leave. It's the same price as a handyman and a fraction of the cost of a water damage claim.
We install and connect the full range of plumbing-connected home appliances:
Professor Plumb has been a Home Depot Authorized Service Provider for over 10 years. If you bought your appliance at Home Depot, Lowe's, or anywhere else, we can install it. We work with homeowners, contractors, and real estate investors throughout Shelby County.
Already have the unit sitting in a box? Call us and we'll typically schedule installation within 24 hours — often same-day.
Many appliance manufacturers require professional installation to honor their warranty. A dishwasher flood caused by an improper DIY installation won't be covered — but a licensed plumber installation creates the documentation trail you need if there's ever a warranty or insurance question.
We provide a receipt for all work performed. Keep it with your appliance documentation.
No call centers, no subcontractors. When you call Professor Plumb, Duane or Zach shows up — the same two people whose names are on the truck.

Yes. We can add the necessary supply line, drain connection, and coordinate the electrical rough-in for a first-time dishwasher installation. This takes longer and involves more materials than a simple swap, but it's a common job for us.
A straightforward swap (replacing an existing dishwasher) takes 45–90 minutes. A new installation where no dishwasher existed before takes 2–3 hours depending on access and existing plumbing layout.
Yes. We install point-of-entry (whole-home) filtration, water softeners, and reverse osmosis drinking water systems. If you're in an area of Shelby County with hard water, a softener can significantly extend the life of your water heater, fixtures, and appliances.
