Heavy Rainfall and Chronic Drainage Problems

About Olympia, WA

Olympia is the capital city of Washington State and the county seat of Thurston County, located at the southern tip of Puget Sound along Budd Inlet. The city anchors the South Puget Sound region, sitting approximately 60 miles southwest of Seattle, and has served as Washington’s only capital since it was declared the territorial capital in 1853. 

Olympia carries a distinct identity as both a government hub and a recognized countercultural center in the Pacific Northwest, with a strong arts scene, deep environmental values, and neighborhoods that reflect more than 170 years of continuous history.

Things To Do

  • Walk the Percival Landing boardwalk along Budd Inlet, a 0.9-mile waterfront path through downtown lined with shops, restaurants, a three-story observation tower, and sweeping views of the Olympic Mountains across the Sound
  • Explore the Washington State Capitol Campus, home to one of the most architecturally striking capitol domes in the country, surrounded by manicured grounds, monuments, and public art
  • Visit Squaxin Park (formerly Priest Point Park), a 314-acre park offering more than four miles of forested trails, nearly two miles of saltwater shoreline along Budd Inlet, and views of downtown Olympia and the Capitol dome

Notable Persons

  • Kasey Keller: One of the most celebrated American soccer goalkeepers of his generation, Keller was born in Olympia and went on to represent the U.S. Men’s National Team in multiple World Cups.
  • Eloise Mumford: Actress born and raised in Olympia, known for her roles in the Fifty Shades of Grey film series and the miniseries The Right Stuff. She has credited local theater productions in Olympia as the spark that led to her acting career.
  • Calvin Johnson: Musician and founding member of the influential indie band Beat Happening, born in Olympia. Johnson is widely credited as a foundational figure in the Pacific Northwest underground music movement and the founder of K Records, one of the most important independent labels in American indie rock history.

Interesting and Fun Facts

  • A survey conducted in the 1930s identified 96 artesian wells in and around Olympia, a natural feature so closely tied to the city’s identity that the Olympia Brewing Company built its entire brand around it with the iconic slogan “It’s the water.”
  • Olympia averages around 168 rainy days per year and receives roughly 50 inches of precipitation annually, well above the continental U.S. average, earning it a reputation as one of the wettest major cities on the entire West Coast.
  • The city got its name in 1850 at the suggestion of Colonel Isaac N. Ebey, who proposed “Olympia” inspired by the sweeping view of the Olympic Mountains visible to the northwest.

Frequently Asked Questions about Plumbing Services in Olympia

Common indicators include inconsistent water temperature, strange noises coming from the tank, visible rust or corrosion, water pooling around the base, or a significant decrease in hot water supply. If your water heater is over 10 years old and experiencing issues, replacement may be more cost-effective than repairs. Our team can assess your system and recommend the best solution.

Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water streams to clear clogs and clean pipe walls thoroughly, removing buildup, grease, and debris. Traditional auger methods mechanically break through blockages but may not clean the entire pipe. Hydro-jetting is more effective for stubborn clogs and helps prevent future problems by leaving pipes cleaner.

Turn off your main water supply immediately to minimize water damage. Then contact us right away for emergency service. We respond 24/7 to burst pipes and can quickly locate the damage using camera inspection, determine if repair or replacement is needed, and restore your water service with minimal disruption to your home or business.

Heat pump water heaters are more energy-efficient than traditional tank models, potentially reducing your energy bills by 20 to 50 percent. While the upfront cost is higher, the long-term savings and environmental benefits often justify the investment. We can help you evaluate whether a heat pump water heater makes sense for your specific situation and usage patterns.

We recommend sewer inspections every 3 to 5 years as part of preventative maintenance, or immediately if you notice slow drains, sewage backups, or unusual odors. Homes with older pipes or those surrounded by large trees should be inspected more frequently. Early detection of problems like root intrusions or cracks can save thousands in repair costs.

Sewer lining (trenchless repair) involves inserting a new pipe material inside the damaged pipe without excavation, making it faster and less disruptive. Traditional replacement requires digging up the entire sewer line, which is more invasive and costly. Lining is ideal for cracks and minor damage, while replacement may be necessary for severely deteriorated pipes.

Yes, we specialize in commercial plumbing for restaurants, offices, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. Commercial kitchens require specialized knowledge of grease traps, high-volume drainage systems, and code compliance. We understand the need to minimize downtime and work efficiently to keep your business operating.

Low water pressure can result from mineral buildup in pipes, leaks in your plumbing system, issues with your water meter, or problems with the main water line. Our plumbers can diagnose the cause using pressure tests and camera inspections. Solutions may include cleaning mineral deposits, repairing leaks, or replacing corroded pipes. We'll identify the root cause and recommend the most cost-effective fix.
