What are the most common boiler problems in Olympia homes?

The most common boiler issues we see include leaks, low water pressure, circulation pump failures, thermostat malfunctions, and mineral buildup caused by local water quality. These problems can reduce efficiency and lead to costly breakdowns if not repaired quickly.

How do I know if my boiler needs professional repair?

Warning signs include unusual noises like banging or gurgling, uneven heating across rooms, water pooling around the boiler, and a sudden spike in energy bills. If you notice any of these, it is best to schedule a professional inspection before the issue worsens.

Do boilers also heat household water?

Some systems provide both home heating and domestic hot water. If you are unsure about your setup, our plumbers can explain your system and suggest improvements.

What causes a boiler to lose pressure?

Common causes include leaks in the system, a failing expansion vessel, or problems with the pressure relief valve. Prompt repair prevents further damage.

Why is my boiler making loud banging or gurgling noises?

These noises are often caused by trapped air, mineral buildup, or a failing pump. Loud operation is not normal and should be addressed quickly to avoid further damage. Our plumbers can diagnose the issue and return your boiler to quiet, efficient performance.

Can Olympic Plumbing Technology handle boiler gas line repairs as well?

Yes. Many boilers run on natural gas, and our team offers gas leak detection, gas line installation, and gas line repair in addition to boiler service. This ensures every part of your heating system is safe and compliant.

Common Boiler Problems We Repair

Boiler issues can escalate quickly if they are not addressed, which is why early repairs are so important. Our team has years of experience diagnosing and repairing boiler systems in Olympia, giving homeowners confidence that problems will be solved the right way.

Uneven Heating and Cold Spots

When one room feels warm while another stays cold, circulation problems inside the boiler may be to blame. We repair pumps, valves, and controls to restore consistent heating throughout your home.

Unusual Noises

Boilers should operate quietly. Banging, whistling, or gurgling often points to air trapped in the lines or mineral buildup. We flush systems, replace worn parts, and stop noises before they become costly breakdowns.

Leaks or Corrosion

Water around the unit or rust on key components can lead to serious plumbing damage. Our licensed plumbers repair leaks, remove corroded parts, and prevent further system deterioration.

Rising Energy Bills

When efficiency drops, your boiler runs longer and uses more energy to produce the same heat. We address the worn components that cause wasted energy and help you lower your monthly bills.

No matter the issue, Olympic Plumbing Technology delivers skilled boiler repairs that protect your comfort and extend the life of your system.

What Our Customers Say About Us

The technician Raphael was great. But unfortunately the prices were obscene. They wanted $861 to replace a kitchen faucet. I declined and will have a friend do it for me. But the technician was really good about trying to solve my problem, and did a good thorough inspection of all my plumbing.

Leak occurred from previous work performed. Dylan replaced the faulty brass fitting at no charge which fixed the problem. Again, Olympic plumbing provided prompt, professional, courteous, and respectful service. We highly recommend this company!

Nate, from Olympic Plumbing, did an outstanding job with the installation of a water heater for our home. He was professional, knowledgeable and wasted no time on his arrival. He explained the process, provided a detailed description of the work, a cost estimate and answered all questions presented to him. I was very pleased with the work that he did. I would recommend to anyone that Olympic Plumbing be on the top of their list should they need plumbing work accomplished.

Raphael provided the best (no exaggeration) plumbing consultation I have ever received in my 60+ years of life. He was personable, thorough and did not complete his search for the exact products and modifications we were seeking until he found them. His quote took less the an hour, including the products we needed. He also did a full plumbing inspection and found our new, one-and-half-year -old home had a plumbing issue that did not meet code, resulting in recommending in the appropriate 'fix'. Finally, he assured us that he would do the work, further assuring the products and modifications were done to our specifications. I cannot expect more than that. I recommend Olympic Plumbing and Technology for everyone needing plumbing consultation and services. We will only use this company in the future.

Great experience with Brandon and his crew, thank you so much! We did a complete replacement of all plumbing in our business and it was a big job, over 3 days, really happy with everything. Quotes came in significantly lower from this business vs others in the area and their level of knowledge also seemed higher.

Friendly, helpful and efficient. Called morning of appointment with possibly being able to come early. I appreciated the call but was not able to take the offer. Quickly found the leak, referred us to another company for water damage repair since the leak sprayed up to my floor, and repaired/replaced the damaged line.
