Is Your Hot Water on the Fritz? Here’s What to Watch For
A failing water heater can leave you without hot water or cause damage if ignored. At Olympic Plumbing Technology, we help Olympia homeowners recognize the warning signs early, before you’re stuck with a cold shower or a flooded utility room. If any of these issues sound familiar, it’s time to schedule service:
-
Inconsistent or No Hot Water: If your water runs cold quickly or never gets warm, your unit may need repair or replacement.
-
Strange Noises From the Tank: Rumbling, popping, or banging sounds can mean sediment buildup or internal damage.
-
Rusty or Discolored Water: Corrosion inside the tank can cause rust-colored water and signal tank failure.
-
Water Leaks Around the Base: Leaking around the unit often points to a crack or failing seal that needs urgent attention.
-
Fluctuating Water Pressure: Poor or uneven flow from hot taps can be tied to water heater or line issues.
-
Unit Age Over 10 Years: Older systems are more prone to failure and usually less energy-efficient — routine checks are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Our Customers Say About Us
We needed a broken water pump quickly replaced and selected Olympic Plumbing because they have a cool logo and someone immediately answered our call to get the service scheduled quicker than the other plumbers we called. Shortly after that service another part of our complex well water system failed so we called Olympic back to figure out a better way to pump water from the well 400 feet up the hill to our house. Nate brought in an engineering specialist to calculate the pump capacity needed to get the water up the hill. The math was correct but our existing pipe layout created unexpected negative pressure preventing water to get to the house. They then determined having a different tank would fix the problem and provide much cleaner water. Despite the numerous challenges, Nate and the team kept trying and found a solution, often working late at night and on weekends to make sure our water supply was available as much as possible. Throughout the process Olympic's communication about the status was great and despite all the challenges and trying different tanks and pumps, the total price was exactly what they quoted at the beginning. Wow. You don't often get Olympic Pumbing's level of customer commitment and service from many contractors. Thanks, Nate! We highly recommend- and they have a cool logo that made me smile whenever their vehicles were at our house.

Robby is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I had a plumbing emergency and the company sent him within minutes to my house to assess and plan the repairs. He was also able to call a restoration company out immediately to assess the damage and plan repairs to the HVAC system which was affected by the flood. They will both start work first thing in the morning.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Update to this, which I forgot to post last night.
Robby arrived promptly at eight and had completed his job in a few hours. He solved the problem, made the repairs and was cleaned up and gone in a timely manner. Excellent service. Will definitely use again if the need should arise.

Gaige and Jake were wonderful to work with! They were so personable and explained everything in plain English so I could understand. They completed the work so quickly and our filter is working GREAT now! They even explained it to my 4 year old and 2 year old, they were so kind! If I need more work done, I really hope I get this team next time!
(They installed a new whole home water filter, fixed our expansion tank on the hot water tank, fixed a kids toy stuck in the toilet, and rerouted and installed a water shut off inside the garage)

Our technicians, Rafael and Garrett, were fantastic. They were very clear about what needed to happen for our tankless water heater service and talked through how to make our system work its best. It was easy to sign up for a membership plan knowing we would have this quality of service every year.
