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.

What Our Customers Say About Us

Two incredible plumbers Steve S. and Danny S tackled my job. They performed a very complex job involving my 85 year old "Cast Iron Stack". My LEAD PIPE from the STACK to the toilet developed holes from age and leaked. Danny with 47 years experience new how to proceed. He knew how to remove LEAD PIPING from the Joint at and inside the STACK, and then rebuilt the pipe in black 4" PVC up to my NEW toilet FLANGE. CARE >> They gave me the better silicone rubber insert into existing STACK joint (thank you) and also gave me the upgraded stainless toilet FLANGE (thank you). I needed this job done delicately and with experience so while digging out the old broken Lead pipe, that my existing STACK would not get damaged or cracked... yikes. But alas, Danny and Steve pulled it off perfectly. This job was not cheap but i was paying for much more than standard plumbing on the job. They get an 11 on a 10-star scale. Bill Brower Tacoma Wa. P.S. I should add that Steve S. Is my regular plumber, he has done 4 jobs for me. Each time He listens to how i want to proceed and brainstorms with me on what to do. It is my belief that when you find a really good plumber, you hang on to him.

We had a house water filter installed an our yearly water heater flush. Their technician Gaige did a great job and answered all my questions as they came up, even the ones that were unrelated to the specific job. He even taught me how to undo the faucet filter so I can clean it in the future. He was professional and polite.

DJ came by with an associate. They performed a 10-point inspection and checked out our sump pump. They didn't perform any work this go around but I really appreciated the way they communicated with us through the whole process, and they gave me really good information and suggestions for different ways to approach the situation. Would definitely call them again. EDIT: Just had another visit, this time from Corbin. Flooding nightmare... he was awesome.

Corbin did a great job! Very personable, professional, and respectful of our home. He quickly diagnosed the issue and explained in terms I could understand. Corbin gave me a quote for the work up front then completed the job. Would highly recommend Corbin and Olympic Plumbing to anyone in need of quality plumbing services. Thank you!

We needed a broken water pump quickly replaced and selected Olympic Plumbing because they have a cool logo and someone immediately answered our call to get the service scheduled quicker than the other plumbers we called. Shortly after that service another part of our complex well water system failed so we called Olympic back to figure out a better way to pump water from the well 400 feet up the hill to our house. Nate brought in an engineering specialist to calculate the pump capacity needed to get the water up the hill. The math was correct but our existing pipe layout created unexpected negative pressure preventing water to get to the house. They then determined having a different tank would fix the problem and provide much cleaner water. Despite the numerous challenges, Nate and the team kept trying and found a solution, often working late at night and on weekends to make sure our water supply was available as much as possible. Throughout the process Olympic's communication about the status was great and despite all the challenges and trying different tanks and pumps, the total price was exactly what they quoted at the beginning. Wow. You don't often get Olympic Pumbing's level of customer commitment and service from many contractors. Thanks, Nate! We highly recommend- and they have a cool logo that made me smile whenever their vehicles were at our house.

Robby is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I had a plumbing emergency and the company sent him within minutes to my house to assess and plan the repairs. He was also able to call a restoration company out immediately to assess the damage and plan repairs to the HVAC system which was affected by the flood. They will both start work first thing in the morning. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Update to this, which I forgot to post last night. Robby arrived promptly at eight and had completed his job in a few hours. He solved the problem, made the repairs and was cleaned up and gone in a timely manner. Excellent service. Will definitely use again if the need should arise.

Gaige and Jake were wonderful to work with! They were so personable and explained everything in plain English so I could understand. They completed the work so quickly and our filter is working GREAT now! They even explained it to my 4 year old and 2 year old, they were so kind! If I need more work done, I really hope I get this team next time! (They installed a new whole home water filter, fixed our expansion tank on the hot water tank, fixed a kids toy stuck in the toilet, and rerouted and installed a water shut off inside the garage)

Robby was great! Fast, friendly, professional. I can always count on this company to go the extra mile. Corbin, who provided a different service today, exhibited the same excellent qualities.
