It is not unusual to see high drain loops not installed on dishwashers. I see it almost daily during my inspections and I often get asked by real estate agents and home owners alike why this is wrong. Hopefully, this video will help you understand the reason this is practice is not allowed and the reason home inspectors put this item in their reports.

Great video TeamChi - Complete Home Inspections, Inc. now when I get off the couch I'm going to go see if I have a high loop.
Hi Michael - I am going to go to my kitchen now and check this out. Thanks for the info.
Michael, I never knew the reason before...thanks for the clear explanation!
Hi Michael, I had no idea about that and have been in the business since 1999.
Michael - Great way to share information about high drain loops. I think using video can not only explain, but show exactly what you are talking about.
Good morning Michael. I guess it is time for me to look under the sink and see what I have...
TeamCHI - Complete Home Inspections, Inc. That is one of the many little checks I perform when visiting a prospective purchase with a client. Easily done and an indication of attention to the proper installation of not only dishwashers, but if missing, I become even more alert to other issues.
I say to people that doing this avoids rice on your plates after the dishwash cycle!
They get it...
Still, it's the new code if there is no vacuum breaker!
It is amazing what you guys see on a daily basis. Thanks for the helpful information.
