How Accurate is Electronic Leak Detection?

Electronic leak detection is extremely precise, especially for hidden or underground leaks. It uses sound waves or sensors to locate the exact source without damaging walls or floors. Olympic Plumbing Technology uses this technology to find leaks quickly and cleanly.

What is a Slab Leak and Why is it Serious?

A slab leak is a water leak under your home’s concrete foundation. Left untreated, it can lead to foundation cracks, mold growth, and high water bills. We specialize in detecting these early to prevent long-term structural damage.

Can You Detect a Leak Without Tearing Up My Home?

Yes — we use non-invasive tools that let us detect leaks behind walls, under floors, or beneath foundations with minimal disruption. Our methods focus on precision and preservation. Most leaks can be found and diagnosed without demolition.

What Should I Do if I Suspect a Leak?

Check your water meter for unexpected movement when no water is in use, and look for signs like stains, musty odors, or rising bills. Then call a licensed plumber for a professional diagnosis. Olympic Plumbing Technology offers fast response and detailed leak detection reports.

How Do You Know if You Have a Leak?

Not all leaks are visible — many happen behind walls, under flooring, or even underground. Olympic Plumbing Technology helps Olympia homeowners recognize the warning signs before a small leak turns into costly damage. Here’s what to watch for:

Spikes in Your Water Bill: A sudden increase in usage with no clear explanation often signals a hidden leak.
Sounds of Running Water: Hearing water flow when no fixtures are in use could point to pipe damage behind walls.
Musty Smells or Mold Growth: Moisture buildup from unseen leaks can quickly lead to mildew and indoor air quality issues.
Discolored Walls or Ceilings: Water stains and soft spots are common signs of a slow leak inside your home’s structure.
Cracks in Foundation or Walls: Long-term leaks under slabs or in basements can compromise your home’s foundation.
Low Water Pressure in One Area: If pressure drops suddenly in a single fixture or room, a localized pipe leak might be the cause.

Leak Source Isolation

When symptoms appear in multiple places, our team isolates the exact source of the problem. This focused approach ensures that we fix the root issue, not just the visible damage.

Water Meter Monitoring for Leaks

If you suspect a slow or hidden leak, we can check your home’s water meter for signs of continuous flow. It’s one of the simplest, most effective ways to confirm a leak is present before we investigate further.

Interior and Exterior Plumbing Inspections

We examine exposed plumbing indoors and outdoors for visual signs of deterioration, dripping, or damage. Our inspections support both leak detection and general system health.

Preventive Leak Risk Assessments

Concerned about future leaks? We offer proactive assessments that identify weak spots in your plumbing system, so you can make improvements before leaks occur.

Jake Roderick and Keenan did great work and fixed my water main right up. Fast, too. Will keep them on my short list now.

Scott R. came out on two different occasions. The first was to help locate a leak the city told us we had. Very professional and spent a good amount of time helping us locate it.

The second time was for a shower valve repair he quoted when he came for leak detection. It gave him a fight but he ended up fixing the problem. He went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with our services.

Both times they scheduled us next day services and got the job done exceeding expectations with reasonable prices. They walked us through everything and had us test out the repairs to make sure it was functioning properly.

I don’t usually write reviews, but Rafael and Keenon were awesome and did a great, timely job installing my new tankless water heater. They listened to my initial concerns about my gas pipes, assessed the situation, came up with helpful options and answered all of my questions. I ended up going with an option I didn’t think that I would just yet (I knew I would need to replace the unit soon enough). But the price, payment options and service options were right. They were able to get right to work and I even got a deluxe model of the tankless at no extra cost.
The things I love about OPT are that they actually listen and just want me to be served well. I find them to be more affordable and customer-oriented than other plumbing companies I have gotten quotes or work from over the years. OPT re-plumbed my house and septic pipe a few years ago and I’ve been a happy camper with that ever since. Thank you again to Rafael and Keenon, you made the entire experience great!
