Dishwashers
Question for plumbers doing new homes:
We have had several incidences where we install the dishwasher, caulk and test and get final inspection, only to discover down the road that the dishwasher has leaked, typically ruining a hardwood floor. We take extra precautions to make sure our connections are leak free and have now started videoing the dishwashers in action as proof that the connections were leak free when we were done. We know that flooring companies and electricians have come behind us and pulled/reset the dishwasher, but we are left footing the bill when they leak because we can't prove anything different. Is anyone else having a similar issue like this. If so what are you doing to keep from being responsible for damages. The attached photo was the latest install by a tech that's worked for us for 10 years. There's no way he left this connection like this and no way the final inspection would have passed, yet we are having to foot the flooring repair bill, again! Appreciate any feedback.
