How Do I Know if My Drain Is Clogged or Just Slow?

A slow drain could be a sign of a developing clog or an early warning of a larger blockage deeper in the line. If water pools or drains inconsistently, it’s smart to get a professional inspection. Olympic Plumbing Technology can pinpoint the issue and clear it before it worsens.

What Causes Sewer Line Backups in My Home?

Common causes include tree root intrusion, grease buildup, collapsed pipes, or foreign objects in the line. Backups often start with multiple slow drains or unpleasant odors. We offer sewer camera inspections to get to the root of the issue quickly.

Is Hydro Jetting Safe for Older Pipes?

Yes — with proper inspection beforehand. Our team checks pipe condition first to ensure the high-pressure water won’t damage fragile lines. For older systems, we may recommend gentler solutions or partial pipe replacement.

Can You Fix a Sewer Problem Without Digging Up My Yard?

In many cases, yes. Our trenchless sewer repair technology allows us to replace or repair lines with minimal excavation. It’s faster, cleaner, and less disruptive than traditional methods.

Are Your Drains Telling You Something?

At Olympic Plumbing Technology, we help homeowners in Olympia and the surrounding areas recognize the early signs of drain and sewer problems — before they turn into costly repairs. If you’ve noticed any of the following, it might be time to call in the pros.

Slow-draining sinks and tubs: A common sign of buildup or blockages deep in your lines.
Recurring clogs: If your plunger gets regular use, your system may need professional clearing.
Foul drain odors: Persistent smells coming from your drains often point to sewer issues.
Gurgling sounds in pipes: These can signal venting problems or partial blockages.
Multiple clogged fixtures: When more than one drain backs up, the problem may lie in the main sewer line.
Backed-up floor drains: Water pooling around basement drains is a red flag for sewer system backups.

What Our Customers Say About Us

I had a severely clogged kitchen sink drain that I had tried everything myself to unclog. Finally called in the big guns at Olympic Plumbing. They sent us Technician Steven Shoopman and he went way above and beyond to make certain we have a long lasting, trouble free drain. He ran the camera down several times afterwards to ensure he got a good fix. When he spotted remaining grease pockets he didn't call it good enough, he kept at it until it was fully cleared. I was extremely impressed by his tenacity and professionalism. Definitely got our money's worth....thank you Steven, well done!!

Rafael is an excellent plumber. Honest, knowledgeable, helpful and great communicator. Addressed an outdoor backyard spigot issue quickly and carefully. The replacement spigot system is better and more modern than the original that came with the house.

I had Robby J. come out and take a look at my spare bathroom valves and we had some issues finding a replacement valve at first but we did find one. Since I have an older home it’s been difficult repairing/replacing certain things which has been incredibly frustrating. But Robby was a big help on walking me through everything and even provided me with some financing options to lessen the blow which makes me incredibly happy that I have options. Thank you again for really helping me figure out my next steps and what options would guarantee a long-term solution. I appreciate your time and what you do for the community.

Great job along with being patient and working with me to answer any questions I had! Highly recommend! Follow-Up 18 May 2026: First off, every employee has been kind and courteous. This actual physical installation of the system is great, the plumbing is clean and tidy and looks great. The problem is the system. It really hasn’t worked, or at least hasn’t worked like I expected. I get a maximum of 100 gallons of water before iron starts to appear in the water again. When I got the work done I was given three options, so I the middle priced option that was presented as a “good” option, but not then “best” or “Peace of Mind” as Olympic put it. Anyway, I had a tech come back out and they checked the controller setting and nothing seemed out of order. I am still having them problem, and yesterday 17 May, the system only gave me 60 gallons of water before iron/color came back into my water. I have another appointment today 18 May, and will continue to post updates. No one ever told me what kind of Iron is in my water, but I think the “Good” system option would still give me enough water to have hundreds of gallons. Right I have to regen every day, maybe twice because if our water needs. I hope they can come up with a solution.

Once he got to my home he apologized for the time it took to get back to me. He went straight to work. He had to snake out the sink three times. Finally got it cleared. He gave me suggestions to make clearing clogs better next time He was very polite and professional.
