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.

We hired Olympic Plumbing to replace our 2-compartment sink with sharp inside corners with a 1-compartment sink with curved corners. Raphael had to measure the opening and then look for a sink that would fit. He is a pleasure to work with - very professional, courteous, and skilled. We highly recommend Olympic Plumbing.
Also, the office kept us informed on arrival time. It was all a positive experience.

Nice is very knowledgeable and shared insights to what needs to be addressed in our home. We decided to go with another vendor due to pricing, but not unhappy with Nic, he's good at what he does.

I never write reviews, however; I just can't say enough about the service I received from not only from the company, in general, but more specifically their technician (is that the word?) Nate!! And his trusty "assistant" Morgan.
I had a very old combo hot water heater/furnace unit. A project many people couldn't or wouldn't take on. I shopped around and knew it was going to be well over 10,000 dollars to replace.
After talking to Nate, I knew his knowledge and their willingness to work with me was the way to go, and I was not disappointed!
Professional, kind, meticulous and completely thorough. My step father who owned a machine shop for over 50 years was very impressed with the welding and workmanship!
I can honestly say I will NEVER use any other plumbing service.

Highly recommended. Had an emergency leak related to the line feeding the refrigerator; gave these folks a call, a young fellow came out here that day, got into that very tight crawl space and took care of the issue. In a way, glad I had the problem, because now I have a new plumber. Reliable plumbers not an easy find, and the shenanigans shady ones engage in can be worse than the issue one wants to hire them for. I have a bigger issue coming up, and these folks certainly going to get the work. A hardy thanks, and Happy New Year.

Corbin Moe did a great job repairing our toilet today, 1/02/2026. He clearly explained what he was doing and why! I really appreciated that he did that.
Thanks, Corbin
PS: In the question below regarding rating the price I paid.As I have not had a toilet pulled and have the mounting hardware upgraded since the 2000 - 2002 time period, I did not know if it was any of the first three choices, so I checked "unsure". What I do know is that I knew there was a problem and Corbin fixed it, explaining to me what he was doing and why. From that perspective, the price I paid is worth it.

I had two issues, my water pressure was too high, and my tankless water heater was making a rattling sound and much louder than it used to be. Olympic Plumbing sent plumber Gaige Stidman to determine what the issues were. I was very impressed with his knowledge of my tankless water heater; he quickly diagnosed the problem and repaired it. Runs like new now. He also installed a water pressure valve to the water main water line, that brought my water pressure down to a level safe for my appliances. He felt it was most likely the high-water pressure is what caused the damage to the tankless water heater. Gaige knows his stuff and is a very likeable guy; I'll be requesting him for my future plumbing needs.
