Gas Leak Detection in the South Sound Area

Don’t Mess Around With Gas Leaks. Here’s How to Know When to Call Us

Gas leaks demand urgent attention, and Olympic Plumbing Technology is here to help Olympia-area homeowners stay safe. If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait to get professional help:

  • Rotten egg smell: A strong sulfur-like odor indoors or outdoors is a classic indicator of a leak.

  • Hissing sounds: Gas escaping from pipes or appliances often makes a soft but telling noise.

  • Dead patches in grass: Leaking underground lines can kill vegetation or create discolored areas in your yard.

  • Bubbling in water: Unexplained bubbles in puddles or wet spots could mean gas is escaping below the surface.

  • Physical symptoms: Dizziness, nausea, or headaches indoors may point to long-term gas exposure.

  • Higher gas bills: A sudden spike in usage without added appliances often signals a hidden issue.

Gas Leak Detection Services in Thurston, Pierce, Mason & Lewis Counties

Pressure Testing for Leaks

We apply monitored pressure to gas lines to detect drops that indicate leaks, even when they’re not visible or audible.

Soap Test Verification

A classic field test where we apply a soap solution to fittings and valves — if bubbles form, we’ve found the leak.

Emergency Shut-Off and Diagnostics

If there’s any sign of danger, we’ll shut off your gas immediately and perform a full safety and systems diagnostic.

Appliance Leak Inspection

We inspect connections at stoves, dryers, water heaters, and fireplaces to ensure all fittings are secure and leak-free.

Line Isolation Testing

When the leak source isn’t obvious, we isolate sections of your gas piping to narrow down the problem area.

What Our Customers Say About Us

We've recently purchased a new home and were having a leaky faucet inside the house replaced. When I went out to shut off the water to the house so the work could be done, I was unpleasantly surprised when I started to turn the main shut off valve and the pipe immediately sprung a massive, gushing leak (especially since it had all be inspected and deemed in good working order not a month ago)!

This was already late afternoon, so we reached out to local businesses that worked on wells and Olympic Plumbing Technology sent out Gaige Stidham to see to the problem the very next morning. When he arrived, Gaige assessed the situation and explained what he found: that our galvanized pipe had split at the main control valve due to heavy corrosion, and not only that, but the bladder in the well pressure tank had failed and there was also bad corrosion to the internal contactors within the pump control box.

Gaige told me our options and we agreed on a plan, then he set to work. New pressure tank, piping, main control valve, and pressure box-- he even cleaned out the well house while he was at it, for us! Afterwards, he tested everything to ensure it was working and also confirmed that our pump was, in fact, in good working order. He was super competent, educative, and amiable.

Although it was no small expense (couldn't be with what all needed fixed), I am confident in the work he did for us and that we can rest easy (at least in concerns for our well) for a good while to come. We absolutely recommend Gaige and Olympic Plumbing Technology and will definitely reach out to them for future needs.

Keenon was professional, courteous, and resourceful throughout the entire process. My water heater is a fairly finicky smart unit, and troubleshooting it took some patience. I appreciated his willingness to research solutions, think through the problem, and work toward figuring out how to resolve the issue with my smart unit. He was easy to work with, maintained a professional attitude, and put in the effort to get to the bottom of the issue. I would gladly recommend him for his professionalism and customer service.
