First, turn off the water supply using the shutoff valve under your sink. Then, check the connections on the dishwasher's water supply line and drain hose, as these are common failure points. If you're unsure or the leak persists, call us at Chad Herrick Plumbing & Heating. Our technicians can quickly identify whether it's a simple hose issue, a faulty valve, or a problem with the dishwasher itself, and make the necessary repair to prevent water damage to your cabinetry and floors.

Absolutely. A broken or corroded shutoff valve is a frequent issue we see in East Tawas homes, especially in older plumbing. We can replace the faulty valve with a new, reliable quarter-turn valve, which operates more smoothly and is less prone to future leaks. This repair is crucial for controlling water flow to fixtures like sinks and toilets, and having it done professionally ensures a watertight seal and restores proper function to your plumbing.

It's possible. The dishwasher drain hose typically connects to the garbage disposal. A leak at the disposal's drain connection or a faulty seal can allow water to escape, which might appear to be coming from the dishwasher area. Our technicians can inspect both appliances, tighten or replace the drain line connections, and check the disposal unit itself for cracks or wear. We'll pinpoint the exact source of the leak and provide a lasting repair for your kitchen plumbing.
