How Do I Know if My Main Water Line is Leaking?

Common signs include low water pressure, soggy spots in your yard, and unusually high water bills. You may also hear water running when no fixtures are on. Olympic Plumbing Technology uses advanced tools to detect leaks without digging up your property.

Can You Replace My Water Line Without Digging Up My Yard?

In many cases, yes — we offer trenchless or minimally invasive methods depending on the location and condition of your existing line. These techniques are faster and less disruptive than traditional digging. We’ll evaluate your setup and recommend the best solution.

What Should I Do if My Pipes Freeze?

Shut off your main water supply and avoid using heat sources like open flames to thaw the pipe. Call a licensed plumber to assess the damage and safely restore flow. We provide emergency thawing and repair services throughout the Olympia area.

How Long Does a Water Line Last?

Most water lines last 40 to 70 years, depending on the material, soil conditions, and water quality. Older lines made of galvanized steel or other outdated materials are more prone to failure. If your home is older and has never had a replacement, a professional inspection is a smart move.

Is Your Water Line in Trouble? Here’s What to Watch For

A damaged or aging water line can disrupt your home’s water supply, raise utility bills, and lead to serious property damage. At Olympic Plumbing Technology, we help Olympia homeowners identify the early warning signs before a small issue becomes a major repair. If you’ve noticed any of the following, your water line may need professional attention:

Unexplained Spike in Water Bills: A sudden increase in usage can indicate a hidden underground leak.
Wet Spots in the Yard: Soggy patches or standing water on your lawn could point to a damaged main water line.
Low or Fluctuating Water Pressure: Inconsistent flow throughout the house may mean your supply line is cracked or corroded.
Discolored Water: Rusty or dirty water from faucets could be caused by sediment entering through a compromised line.
Sounds of Running Water With No Fixtures On: Hearing water movement when nothing is in use may mean a leak beneath your property.
Older Homes With Original Lines: If your home still has decades-old piping, a proactive inspection can prevent future emergencies.

Nate was awesome. I planned to only change the expansion tank and I never felt pressured to do any more. He made sure it was whatever I wanted to do. He showed me the age of the unit, which was 4 years older than what I even thought, gave me a price comparison too. It was clear we needed to change the unit to save ourselves in the long run. He was professional, quick, answered all of our questions, and it makes me want to continue service with this company. To be clear I called around too for quotes. Thank you for your help Nate.

Ryan B. did a great work on our new water heater installation. Great customer service - we appreciate the communication, showing up on schedule and keeping things tidy. Best of all: we now have unlimited hot water. Thanks to everyone at Olympic Plumbing Technology!

Nick was thorough and professional. He explained everything well and answered our questions completely. Due to the estimated cost to repair our water heater, and the fact that it’s warranty would expire in a year, we decided to purchase a new one and signed up for the Legend service, as well. All this was a LOT more than we expected to pay for what we were hoping would just be catching up on overdue maintenance, but we feel like we made that best decision for the long run. Nick was careful to make sure he was providing us with all options so we could make a decision and he lined up an electrician for us, as well. We’ll call upon Olympic Plumbing Technology and Nick the next time we need plumbing service.

After signing up for the Membership program which initially allowed us a discount on some bib work that we had done last year, we recieved a call from Olympic Plumbing Technology (OPT) stating it was time for our free hot water tank cleaning and home plumbing inspection. Our plumber Gaige came within the indicated time window and was VERY pleasant, professional, clean and well kempt in his appearance. Since my first call for the bib work, I've had two different plumbers from OPT work in my house and I would without hesitation have either of them both back. They do a GREAT job!!!

My 36 year old RUUD water heater finally gave up on me yesterday. (Yes, 36 years old. Gaige said it was an industrial, steel and glass that has been installed in the good old days😂) I called OPT late yesterday afternoon, after I noticed leaking and they fit me in immediately this morning. Gaige was polite, professional, extremely knowledgeable, explaining all the different types of options etc, and very personable! Wore shoe covers and cleaned up everything during the whole time. I had thought this would be such a horrible, messy thing to do, as the water heater is right in the kitchen area, but it turned out to be just fine. OPT is my go to plumber from here on out. And thank you Gaige!

Ron and Robbie came out to fix a problem with a previous job that Olympic Plumbing Technicians did a few years ago. The drain pipes under our kitchen sink started to leak. They provided excellent service and made good on what was done before at no charge. Ron is the owner and he approved the work because it wasn't done properly in the first place. This is the sort of service that will make us repeat customers. They came out the same day I called as well. All around excellent service. (The initial work, while not up to their own standards, wasn't too bad in that it took three years before the leak showed up).
