How Do I Know if My Home Needs Repiping?

Signs like frequent leaks, rusty water, and low pressure often mean your pipes are deteriorating. Older homes with galvanized or polybutylene pipes are especially at risk. A professional inspection from Olympic Plumbing Technology can confirm if repiping is the best option.

What’s the Difference Between Copper and PEX Piping?

Copper is durable, long-lasting, and resistant to bacteria, while PEX is flexible, cost-effective, and easier to install. Both are excellent options depending on your home’s layout and budget. We’ll help you choose the best fit for long-term performance.

Can Pipes Be Repaired Without Tearing Into Walls?

In many cases, yes — we use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint problem areas with minimal disruption. Spot repairs can be made through small access points. If larger issues are found, we’ll clearly explain your options before starting any work.

Is Pipe Insulation Really Necessary in Olympia?

Yes — especially during winter months when temperatures can drop below freezing. Insulated pipes are far less likely to burst, helping you avoid costly damage. We install pipe insulation that’s durable, effective, and suited to local climate conditions.

When Pipes Start to Fail: What to Watch For

Old, damaged, or poorly installed piping can lead to everything from leaks to serious structural problems. At Olympic Plumbing Technology, we help Olympia homeowners catch the warning signs early — saving money, water, and headaches down the line. If you’ve noticed any of the following, it may be time to take a closer look at your pipes:

Frequent Leaks or Water Damage: Recurring puddles or damp spots could indicate worn-out pipes behind walls or under floors.
Rusty or Discolored Water: Corrosion in metal piping can taint your water supply and lead to pipe failure.
Low or Unstable Water Pressure: Blockages, scale buildup, or pipe deterioration may be restricting flow.
Unusual Noises in the Walls: Banging or whistling sounds can be a sign of loose pipes or pressure imbalance.
Visible Corrosion or Cracks: Aging pipes under sinks or in basements may show flaking, rust, or surface damage.
Outdated Materials (Galvanized or Polybutylene): Older pipe types are prone to breakage and should be replaced for safety and efficiency.

Called Olympic Plumbing at 11:00 am with unknown leak problem. They got somebody to my house in 3 hours, correctly diagnosed the problem, then promptly fixed the problem as Nick had the parts in his van. Super happy! Will use these guys again!

I was graced by ye almighty with the presence of Saint Nick G. He was jolly. He was jovial. He brought tidings of comfort and joy to my free inspection for a water leak. He definitely put Olympic Plumbing Technology on the nice list. He unfortunately did not accept my offering of milk and cookies but that is ok as he was very professional and pleasant to work with. I have worked in the trade industry for awhile and you can tell when you have an honest and hard working person in your presence. I appreciate you and OPT. Im down with OPT! Every last homie!

Nate was quite professional, efficient and technologically savvy to look at pics of my existing bathroom on Zillow while we talked about a renovation.

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.
