Washing Machine Installation

Professional connection of washing machines and dryers to water supply, drainage, and power.

Overview

A washing machine is a significant investment, and poor installation can lead to floods, electrical hazards, and shortened appliance life. Dalo Plumbing Solutions provides expert installation services for washing machines and dryers across Nairobi and neighbouring towns. Whether you’ve purchased a front‑loader, top‑loader, or washer‑dryer combo, we ensure it is set up safely, levelled correctly, and connected to water and drain without any risk of leaks. Our service begins with checking the designated space – ensuring the floor is firm, the electrical socket is properly earthed, and the water supply and drain points are within reach. Many Kenyan homes were not originally wired or plumbed for a washing machine, especially in older apartments. We can install new water supply valves, drain standpipes, and a dedicated socket with earth leakage protection where necessary. We take extra care with front‑loading machines, which are susceptible to vibration and can “walk” across the room if not levelled precisely. Our technicians use spirit levels and adjustable feet to set the machine perfectly. We also install anti‑flood inlet hoses, secure drain hoses to prevent siphoning, and test every connection under operational conditions. For homes using water pumps or tank supply, we check that the machine’s inlet pressure is within manufacturer limits and fit a pressure reducing valve if needed. We also advise on the best detergents for your water type to avoid build‑up and blockages. If you’re moving house or simply re‑arranging your utility room, we can disconnect and re‑install your machine safely. After installation, we run a short test cycle, double‑check for any water drips, and tidy up all packaging. You’ll receive a care guide and the assurance that any installation‑related issues are covered by our workmanship warranty. Choose Dalo for a flooding‑free, hassle‑free laundry experience.
