B&B Plumbing installs dishwashers, washing machines, and ice maker lines for homes in West Roxbury, Dedham, Westwood, Norwood, and Needham, MA. Every connection gets new supply lines, sound shutoff valves, and a full leak test before we leave.
Appliance installation is the plumbing side of getting a new dishwasher, washing machine, or refrigerator into service: connecting water supply, drainage, and shutoff valves so the appliance runs safely for years. B&B Plumbing handles these hookups for homeowners across West Roxbury, Dedham, Westwood, Norwood, and Needham, whether the machine is replacing an old one or going into a spot that never had one before.
Here is what most homeowners learn the hard way: the delivery crew that drops off your appliance is not a plumbing crew. They will connect to whatever valve is behind the machine, even if that valve is 40 years old, seized half open, and one turn away from snapping. They will reuse old rubber hoses, skip the dishwasher high loop, and leave without testing under real pressure. The most common source of kitchen and laundry room floods we see in Dedham and Norwood is exactly this kind of shortcut hookup.
A failed appliance connection is not a small leak. A burst washing machine hose can push more than 500 gallons an hour into a home, and if it lets go while you are at work, the first and second floors can be soaked before anyone notices. Refrigerator ice maker lines fail quietly instead, dripping behind the cabinet for months until the hardwood buckles. These are the cheapest floods in the world to prevent and among the most expensive to clean up.
A proper professional installation means new braided stainless supply lines, shutoff valves that actually shut off, a correctly routed drain with a high loop or air gap for dishwashers, secure ice maker connections off a real valve rather than a piercing saddle, and a pressure test on every joint. Because we are licensed plumbers, we can also correct whatever we find behind the appliance, from a corroded valve to a drain standpipe that was never the right height.
Before anything gets hooked up, we check the shutoff valves, supply lines, and drain the appliance will use. Anything suspect gets flagged before it becomes your problem.
You get one price covering the hookup plus any valve or line replacements needed to do it right. You approve it before we touch a wrench.
Old valves, rubber hoses, and corroded fittings are swapped for quality parts. We never connect a new appliance to plumbing we would not trust in our own homes.
Supply, drain, and any dishwasher or ice maker connections are made to manufacturer spec and Massachusetts code. The machine is leveled and seated properly in its space.
We run the appliance through a real cycle, watch every connection under pressure, and check for drips after shutdown. Packaging and old parts leave with us.
West Roxbury's pre 1940 homes were never designed for dishwashers and washing machines, so hookups often mean adapting old galvanized stubs and tight cabinets. We are based here and do these adaptations constantly.
Learn More →In Dedham's mill era two family homes, laundry connections are often in basements with original standpipes that are too short for modern washers. We bring the drain and valves up to code as part of the install.
Learn More →Westwood's 1950s and 1960s kitchens frequently still have their original angle stops behind the dishwasher. We replace those brittle valves during the hookup so you have a shutoff that works when you need it.
Learn More →Norwood landlords use us to connect appliances across their two to four family units with proper hoses and valves, cutting the flood risk that comes with tenant laundry rooms.

Most standard hookups run $200 to $500 per appliance, covering new supply lines, drain connection, and leak testing. Jobs that require adding a shutoff valve or running a new water line cost more. You get the full price before we start.
A dishwasher or washer hookup with existing connections takes about an hour. Running a new ice maker line or adding shutoffs takes 1 to 2 hours. First time installations that need new supply or drain plumbing can take a half day.
Delivery crews connect to whatever valves exist, even seized 40 year old ones, and reuse cheap hoses. A plumber replaces suspect shutoffs, uses braided stainless lines, routes the dishwasher drain with a proper high loop, and tests everything under pressure.
A burst washer hose can release over 500 gallons an hour, and a dishwasher drain without a high loop siphons dirty water back into the machine. Slow fridge line leaks rot floors for months before discovery. Correct installation is cheap insurance.
