How Do I Know Exactly What’s in My Water?

The best way to find out is with professional testing. We check for hardness, chlorine, pH balance, and other common contaminants found in Olympia-area water. Once we test, we’ll recommend the right system based on real results.

Do I Need a Whole-Home Filter or Just One for My Sink?

It depends on your goals — under-sink filters are great for drinking and cooking, while whole-home systems protect all your water lines. If you have widespread staining or dry skin, a full-system filter is likely the better choice. We’ll help you weigh the benefits of each.

What’s the Difference Between a Filter and a Softener?

Filters remove contaminants like chlorine, sediment, and bacteria, while softeners specifically address minerals like calcium and magnesium. Many homeowners benefit from having both. We’ll evaluate your water and explain the best setup for your needs.

How Often Do Filters Need to Be Replaced?

Most systems require filter changes every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage and water quality. We offer maintenance reminders and replacement services to keep things simple. Staying on schedule helps your system stay effective and efficient.

Noticing Strange Tastes, Smells, or Stains? Your Water Might Be to Blame

The quality of your home’s water impacts your health, plumbing, and daily comfort. Olympic Plumbing Technology helps Olympia homeowners identify and resolve water issues that often go unnoticed — until they cause damage or frustration. If you’re seeing any of these signs, it’s time to test your water:

Unpleasant Taste or Odor: Metallic, chlorine-like, or sulfur smells could indicate chemical imbalances or bacteria.
Cloudy or Discolored Water: Murky water may be caused by sediment, corrosion, or mineral content.
Hard Water Spots on Dishes and Fixtures: Calcium and magnesium buildup can damage appliances and leave behind stains.
Dry Skin and Brittle Hair: High mineral levels can affect your body just as much as your plumbing.
Staining in Sinks, Toilets, or Tubs: Red, brown, or blue-green stains often point to pH issues or iron and copper content.
Appliance Wear or Failure: Hard or acidic water shortens the lifespan of water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines.

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!

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.

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.
