About Olsson Plumbing in Alameda, CA

First, immediately shut off the water supply to the washing machine. Then, turn off the machine and unplug it. This is a common issue in our area, often due to aging rubber hoses. We recommend calling us right away at Olsson Plumbing. We can quickly repair the burst line and, importantly, inspect the rest of your laundry connections and aging plumbing infrastructure to help prevent future leaks and water damage.

For most Alameda homes, especially those with older plumbing systems, we recommend a professional plumbing inspection every 1-2 years. These inspections are crucial for catching small issues like minor leaks, corrosion, or worn-out fittings before they turn into major emergencies. As a family-owned business with over 30 years of local experience, we know what to look for in our area's homes and can provide a thorough assessment of your drains, pipes, and water heater.

Common signs include inconsistent water temperature, rumbling noises from the tank, discolored or rusty water, and visible leaks around the unit. As a company that handles both water heater repair and installation, we can diagnose the issue. Often, repairs can extend the life of your unit, but for older water heaters in Alameda's homes, a full replacement with a modern, efficient model may be the most reliable and cost-effective long-term solution.
