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.

Excellent service experience, Corbin made it all easy❤️ Corbin was calm and assured me that he would have hot water back on soon, and he lived up to his promise. Corbins communication was exemplary, I never felt I was out of the loop even tho I couldn’t be insight.! I got a text and a call letting me know about 25 minutes out, a call after he had figured out the issues, and another call when the reconstruction was done.
We were really happy, my tenants were thrilled to have hot water and Inwas thankful that Corbin made was really top notch and very skilled. He was friendly, professional and an excellent reporter of the company. Sarah was also superb to work with scheduling, and so patient -I was really under the gun getting this on the books and fixed.!

Corbin Moe did a great job checking our leaking washing machine today, Feb. 19, 2026.. He found it was a leak on the seal of the front of the machine, not a water line leak. He then quickly checked our upstairs bathroom sink and cleared the clog of hair that was blocking the drain from working properly.
Many thanks, Corbin!!

I am submitting another review today February, 19, 2026 because the sustained quality work by Olympic Plumbing Technology was provided again yesterday. We had a significant kitchen sink problem with lack of draining and needed assistance right away. We talked to Sarah on the phone and we had Steven Shoopman as the technician who arrived later that day (we are Legend members - and it is a wise investment!) and he fixed the problem and double-checked everything. Here is what we get with Olympic Plumbing Technology. Response. Confidence and competence. And this level of professional work that is providing peace of mind as a customer.

Our guest bathroom had slow draining shower/sink/toilet and was due to family visitors over a period of time; you know - things can go wrong in an older home and more use to the guest bathroom. We had Aaron C. to visit and help troubleshoot the problem. Aaron walked us through the steps to diagnose and then fix the issues with precision and knowledge. We also appreciated the preventative advice on how to protect the septic system and keep the lines clear when guests (family and friends) visit and need to adapt to our plumbing and septic system. The appointment was professional and friendly and problem analyzed. Thank you.

Steven, was friendly, professional, while explaining what he was doing while fielding my questions. He explained his analysis of our situation and did the work needed to get our sewer lateral flowing again. This is the third time I have gone to Olympic Plumbing Technologies for emergency help. The owner and techinicians all know their stuff and are able to take the edge off stressfull plumbing emergencies. I really have appreciated their honesty and value. I recomend Olympic for your plumbing emergencies you can't go wrong!

Nate and Morgan were amazing. Nate came out to bid the job first thing in the morning. I was given multiple options at varying price ranges. The new water heater was installed in the garage instead of inside the house like the old one, which required new plumbing. Nate was able to bid the job, get supplies, and do the entire install in the same day. I had 4 and 5 year old kids bugging them during the entire process. Nate and his helper Morgan were extremely friendly and patient with the kids. I will be recommending Nate and Olympic Plumbing Technology to everyone that I know.

Rafael came out to help me with what I thought was a hard water problem but turned out I needed my water heater replaced due to years of sediment build up. He was honest and fair and gave me lots of options and looked for discounts without be prompted and installed a new water heater same day.
