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.

Leak Source Isolation

When symptoms appear in multiple places, our team isolates the exact source of the problem. This focused approach ensures that we fix the root issue, not just the visible damage.

Water Meter Monitoring for Leaks

If you suspect a slow or hidden leak, we can check your home’s water meter for signs of continuous flow. It’s one of the simplest, most effective ways to confirm a leak is present before we investigate further.

Interior and Exterior Plumbing Inspections

We examine exposed plumbing indoors and outdoors for visual signs of deterioration, dripping, or damage. Our inspections support both leak detection and general system health.

Preventive Leak Risk Assessments

Concerned about future leaks? We offer proactive assessments that identify weak spots in your plumbing system, so you can make improvements before leaks occur.

This is Rafael's second visit to our home. Our prior experience was positive, so we didn't hesitate to call again when we needed a new 80 gal water heater installed in our home. Rafael and Connor were prompt and professional. They stayed until they could verify all was in working order and household faucets had proper water pressure. Office staff were friendly and attentive during scheduling and follow up. We highly recommend Olympic Plumbing.

The Olympic Plumbing Technology techs that performed a service call at my home were professional, polite, and personable. They investigated a possible leak and descaled my water heater. They were such great guys that while they serviced the water heater, I hung out in the garage just to chat with them.
