Washington Plumbing provides full-scope residential and light commercial plumbing solutions across Olympia and Thurston County. From urgent midnight pipe ruptures to meticulous drain diagnostics, sewer restoration, and complete water heating solutions, our experienced plumbers deliver dependable workmanship.
Olympia's diverse housing stock—spanning century-old residences with original cast iron in South Capitol to contemporary builds in West Olympia—requires versatile plumbing knowledge. Explore our dedicated service specialties below.
When a supply line bursts or sewer lines back up into your home, rapid intervention prevents devastating drywall and flooring damage. We provide rapid phone dispatch across Olympia to isolate main shutoff valves, extract flood pressure, and repair active pipe ruptures.
In freezing Pacific Northwest cold snaps, uninsulated crawl space pipes in older neighborhoods freeze and fracture quickly. Keep our number on hand for urgent assistance.
Sluggish drains and gurgling sinks indicate accumulating grease, hair, and soap scum inside waste arms and branch piping. In older Eastside homes, mature maple and fir tree root systems also penetrate sewer joints, creating chronic blockages.
We utilize motorized electro-mechanical drain snakes and blade cutters to clear stubborn clogs safely without damaging older pipe walls. For severe blockages, we also offer high-powered hydro jetting.
When a water heater exceeds 10 to 12 years of age or leaks from the inner pressure vessel, replacement is the safest, most cost-effective path forward. We size and install high-efficiency gas and electric storage systems that meet all Washington energy and seismic codes.
Every installation includes heavy-gauge seismic safety strapping, expansion tanks, and code-approved brass relief discharge lines. We also repair existing units—see our water heater repair in Olympia guide.
In Olympia, property owners are legally responsible for the private side sewer lateral connecting the home foundation to the municipal sewer main. Many older clay and concrete pipes suffer from cracked bell joints, offset seams, and root intrusion.
Our technicians perform targeted spot repairs, pipe lining, and full side sewer replacements that restore smooth wastewater flow and comply with City of Olympia engineering specifications.
Hidden water leaks behind drywall or beneath foundation slabs cause catastrophic structural rot, mold, and inflated water utility bills before becoming visibly apparent.
We utilize state-of-the-art acoustic frequency microphones, precision pressure differential testing, and digital thermal cameras to isolate concealed leaks without tearing up finished living spaces.
Olympia experiences sustained winter precipitation and high water tables, particularly in low-lying areas near Capitol Lake, Budd Inlet, and Westside ravines. A reliable sump pump is your basement's primary defense against inundation.
We install cast-iron submersible pumps, replace mechanical vertical float switches, and configure dual-battery auxiliary backup pumps to keep your basement dry during severe storm power outages.
Modern on-demand tankless water heaters deliver continuous hot water while drastically reducing energy consumption and freeing up valuable utility closet floor space in compact Olympia floorplans.
We engineer gas line sizing, install concentric PVC/polypropylene venting, and conduct annual vinegar descaling to maintain peak heat transfer efficiency in local water conditions.
Homes built before 1975 in historic South Capitol and the Eastside frequently feature aging galvanized iron or early copper pipes prone to pinhole leaks, internal rust scaling, and dropping water pressure.
Our whole-house repiping replaces antiquated lines with flexible, corrosion-proof PEX-a piping, providing crisp water pressure and clean drinking water throughout your home with minimal wall intrusion.
Never guess what is happening underground. Our fiber-optic color video cameras travel through your side sewer to identify root intrusions, cracked pipes, grease accumulation, and sagged pipe bellies.
Essential for both chronic clog troubleshooting and pre-purchase home inspections for prospective buyers across Thurston County.
While standard mechanical snakes punch a small opening through a blockage, hydro jetting scours the entire interior diameter of the pipe with water pressurized up to 4,000 PSI.
It emulsifies hardened cooking fats, strips thick mineral scale, and shears invasive tree roots, restoring older side sewers to maximum hydraulic capacity.
A running toilet wastes hundreds of gallons of treated municipal water daily. We replace worn flappers, fill valves, corroded closet bolts, and failed wax rings that cause subfloor water damage.
We also install new high-efficiency low-flow porcelain toilets designed to conserve water while delivering strong flushing performance.
In addition to our primary service pages, our licensed plumbers regularly handle residential garbage disposal repair and replacement, main water line trenchless pulls, commercial plumbing fixture maintenance, and annual backflow assembly testing for Olympia businesses and irrigation systems.
