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.

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.
