Water Line Replacement in Olympia: what is different here

Older Olympia homes on the Eastside and in Bigelow may still have galvanized steel water lines from the meter, and these narrow with rust over time. Rural Thurston homes often rely on wells instead. We drive I-5 south, about 40 minutes, and replace lines through two small access holes whenever possible.

Water Line Replacement questions in Olympia

A rusting galvanized water line is a common cause in older homes. As rust builds inside, less water gets through. A leak in the buried line can also lower pressure. We confirm which it is, then quote a flat-rate replacement. Check with the City of Olympia before work begins.

Here is what is typical once we are on site. Line locate and check: typically 1 to 2 hours. Trenchless replacement: typically 1 to 2 days. Olympia is about 40 minutes from our base via I-5 south past Joint Base Lewis-McChord. We confirm timing with you when you book.

The water line is the buried pipe from the meter to your house. A repipe replaces the supply pipes inside the home. They are separate jobs with separate prices. If both are old, we can check them on one visit and explain which needs work first.
