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Outdated Materials (Galvanized or Polybutylene): Older pipe types are prone to breakage and should be replaced for safety and efficiency.

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.
