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Outdated Materials (Galvanized or Polybutylene): Older pipe types are prone to breakage and should be replaced for safety and efficiency.

Gaige Stidham was terrific! He called to say he was coming, came on time, explained everything that he would do and the options I had in choosing the best route for my own situation. He replaced a shelving unit I had taken apart to make room for him to work on my tankless water heater.

The dispatcher answered my call on the first ring, had an emergency plumber on call, and got me scheduled. Keenon was excellent, showed up on time, addressed the problem, was professional and personable, upfront about what needed to happen, and got the job done right away.

John L. came out to our home in Tacoma and found that the water leaking up from the flooring was being caused by corroded copper pipes from the waterline. He was probably here for half an hour, but in that time had troubleshooted the issue, explained the situation, and gave us solutions — including an estimate. John was very professional yet personable. Highly recommend this company.

Edit#2: I had Gaige out to fix a small leak in the pumphouse that was part of the job Olympic did in May. Gaige is a very personable guy and great at what he does. We gave the pipe cement an hour to properly set up before turning the pump back on. I appreciate having good workers at my house that I can converse with and even learn a thing or two.
Thanks Gaige (and apprentice)!

Edit: Nate finished up with the jobs today. He is a great guy on top of being an expert plumber. I’m going to ask for him on any future jobs we may have.

Had Nate out to look at a few plumbing issues I want addressed. He is very knowledgeable and personable and we look forward to having him back next week to get started. He ensured my wife and I understood exactly what he was proposing to do and didn’t try to upsell us on options we didn’t really need.

In addition, Sarah K. who called to set up the initial appointment was great too!

Thanks Nate and Sarah K.!
