Is Your Hot Water on the Fritz? Here’s What to Watch For
A failing water heater can leave you without hot water or cause damage if ignored. At Olympic Plumbing Technology, we help Olympia homeowners recognize the warning signs early — before you’re stuck with a cold shower or a flooded utility room. If any of these issues sound familiar, it’s time to schedule service:
-
Inconsistent or No Hot Water: If your water runs cold quickly or never gets warm, your unit may need repair or replacement.
-
Strange Noises From the Tank: Rumbling, popping, or banging sounds can mean sediment buildup or internal damage.
-
Rusty or Discolored Water: Corrosion inside the tank can cause rust-colored water and signal tank failure.
-
Water Leaks Around the Base: Leaking around the unit often points to a crack or failing seal that needs urgent attention.
-
Fluctuating Water Pressure: Poor or uneven flow from hot taps can be tied to water heater or line issues.
-
Unit Age Over 10 Years: Older systems are more prone to failure and usually less energy-efficient — routine checks are essential.

What Our Customers Say About Us
These folks are absolutely outstanding! Our toilet suddenly became clogged and none of the tools in our house were able to get rid of the clog. We called around a lot and these folks stuck out. We sure weren't let down. They were able to come right out and take care of our little mess. Steven was our technician. He was phenomenal! Knowledgeable, kind and great with people. He had the whole thing fixed in no time flat. The price was right also! They have now become our plumber of choice. Use them if any of you need a plumber. What a great experience!

Everything checked out great and area was left spotless. It's a pleasure to do business with a respectful professional.

Gaige and Morgan installed a new filtration system and an expansion tank for my water heater and did excellent work. They were punctual, friendly, knowledgeable, and able to answer all my questions. A+ for both of them. If I ever need more plumbing work done in the future I won’t be calling anyone else.

Nick serviced out water heater today. While he was here, he did an inspection of everything involving water. He found out house was being supplied under the minimum water pressure. We'll be having him out again to work on the recommendations he gave.
Gaige has done amazing work for us. The installation of our new tankless water heater was seamless. He made great recommendations for other plumbing projects. We had him come back later to complete those as well.

I needed a new water heater after 26 years (!), Gaige came out and had a new one installed same day. There was an issue with the product so Gaige came back the next day and made sure it was taken care of to my satisfaction. My experience was very competent and professional and definitely plan to use Olympic Plumbing again!

Dylan & Danny came out to assess a leaking shower and this might have been the easiest and most pleasant interaction with a plumber I've ever had. They were on-time, friendly, knowledgeable and we will absolutely be calling back when we're ready to have the plumbing work done.
This company is using technology to make the experience seamless in a really easy way, with easy online booking and thorough communication via SMS all the way along. Can't speak to the quality of the plumbing work yet, but if it is as well done as the initial visit and inspection, I'm confident we'll be in good hands at a reasonable price.
