How Do I Know if My Home Needs Repiping?

Signs like frequent leaks, rusty water, and low pressure often mean your pipes are deteriorating. Older homes with galvanized or polybutylene pipes are especially at risk. A professional inspection from Olympic Plumbing Technology can confirm if repiping is the best option.

What’s the Difference Between Copper and PEX Piping?

Copper is durable, long-lasting, and resistant to bacteria, while PEX is flexible, cost-effective, and easier to install. Both are excellent options depending on your home’s layout and budget. We’ll help you choose the best fit for long-term performance.

Can Pipes Be Repaired Without Tearing Into Walls?

In many cases, yes — we use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint problem areas with minimal disruption. Spot repairs can be made through small access points. If larger issues are found, we’ll clearly explain your options before starting any work.

Is Pipe Insulation Really Necessary in Olympia?

Yes — especially during winter months when temperatures can drop below freezing. Insulated pipes are far less likely to burst, helping you avoid costly damage. We install pipe insulation that’s durable, effective, and suited to local climate conditions.

When Pipes Start to Fail: What to Watch For

Old, damaged, or poorly installed piping can lead to everything from leaks to serious structural problems. At Olympic Plumbing Technology, we help Olympia homeowners catch the warning signs early — saving money, water, and headaches down the line. If you’ve noticed any of the following, it may be time to take a closer look at your pipes:

Frequent Leaks or Water Damage: Recurring puddles or damp spots could indicate worn-out pipes behind walls or under floors.
Rusty or Discolored Water: Corrosion in metal piping can taint your water supply and lead to pipe failure.
Low or Unstable Water Pressure: Blockages, scale buildup, or pipe deterioration may be restricting flow.
Unusual Noises in the Walls: Banging or whistling sounds can be a sign of loose pipes or pressure imbalance.
Visible Corrosion or Cracks: Aging pipes under sinks or in basements may show flaking, rust, or surface damage.
Outdated Materials (Galvanized or Polybutylene): Older pipe types are prone to breakage and should be replaced for safety and efficiency.

Went through Olympia Plumbing twice in the last two weeks for two different types of jobs and both Aaron and Zachary were beyond our expectations. Very professional and extremely knowledgeable while doing a thorough job. As an added bonus they turned out to be really cool dudes too! We will be using OPT with our future jobs as well. Thanks OPT, you guys rock! 6/12/2026 Called OPT due to a faulty angle stop, leaking faucet and water tank flush. We ended up wanting to replace our two bathroom sink faucets and two angle stops due to be 20 plus years old. Alec showed up on time as scheduled and was very polite, friendly and professional. He was able take care of everything in a short amount of time and seemed to really care about the quality of his work. Thanks to Alec and the OPT team once again!

This is my third review for Olympic plumbing Technology and my third five star review. I had a smart shut off valve, installed to my main water line by Ryan (assisted by Skylar who did a great job with the WiFi components). Not only do the plumbers do great work, but they genuinely try to help you out with coupons, not overcharging, putting back insulation that they took off. It just gives you a good feeling and takes away that adversarial feeling that a plumber is coming to your house to overcharge and rip you off.

6/9/26: Rafael was such a courteous and professional plumber. In an unexpected leak above our HVAC unit. He did an excellent job in replacing the broken pipe. With such service, it is no wonder we return to Olympia Plumbing again and again. We’ve used Olympic Plumbing in the past for toilet replacements and was extremely pleased. Our technician for a previous visit replaced our bathroom faucets and shower fixtures and worked through several faulty issues with our existing plumbing and fixtures; mitigating leaks in the process. Big kudos to our plumber, Dylan, who was very pleasant and an excellent tradesman. We will definitely call them back again. Well done!

Let’s be honest - nobody wants to have to call a plumbing company in a pinch. But Olympia Plumbing Technology and Gaige were genuinely a delight to work with. Gaige was fast, informative and he even took the time to teach us a few things while he was helping us out. Should we have any issues in the future, Olympia Plumbing Technology will definitely be the first company we call!

Jake is super upbeat, knowledgeable, and personable. He was efficient and organized and got us all set with what we needed for a big project. On the day of work, he handled everything so well and everything that was installed looked beautiful. I’ll definitely call this company again and ask for Jake if we need anything else. Super happy!

Had a great experience with Olympic Plumbing! We had initially called on a second opinion for a different quote, and they sent Nate to take a look. He was so friendly and answered all of our questions, very easy to talk to and thorough/ professional, all the good stuff. We’re really grateful we called them & got Nate as our plumber. He went above and beyond and kept us up to date with everything for every step of the way!
