You stop worrying about spontaneous pipe bursts at 2 a.m. You protect your home from thousands in water damage, mold remediation, and insurance headaches that most policies won’t cover.
Your water pressure improves. The metallic taste disappears. And if you ever decide to sell, you won’t face mortgage companies backing out or buyers walking away during inspection.
Most importantly, you’re done dealing with a plumbing system that was recalled for a reason. Kitec fittings were made with high-zinc brass that literally falls apart through dezincification—leaving your pipes weak and primed for failure. Every Kitec system installed is now past its expected lifespan, and the failures that started around 2005 haven’t stopped.
Replacing Kitec plumbing in South Natomas means upgrading to modern piping that’s built to last decades, not years. You get reliable water flow, clean drinking water, and a system you can actually trust.
We’ve been handling emergency calls and full repipes across South Natomas for years. We know which neighborhoods were built during the Kitec era—roughly 1995 to 2007—and we’ve seen firsthand what happens when these systems fail.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for licensed plumbers who show up on time, communicate clearly, and don’t disappear after the check clears. Our 4.7-star Google rating across 93 reviews reflects that consistency.
We also know that most South Natomas homeowners didn’t ask for this problem. You bought a home, and now you’re dealing with a defective product that could cost you everything if it bursts. We handle kitec pipe replacement with that reality in mind—fast, thorough, and transparent from estimate to completion.
First, we inspect your home to confirm you have Kitec and assess the full scope of the system. Kitec is usually identifiable by orange or blue piping, but we check fittings, connections, and hidden runs to make sure nothing gets missed.
Next, we map out the replacement plan. Most South Natomas homes can be repiped in one to three days, depending on size and layout. We use modern materials like PEX or copper that won’t degrade the way Kitec does.
During the actual replacement, we remove all Kitec piping—hot and cold lines—and install the new system with minimal disruption to your walls and daily routine. Once the new pipes are in, we pressure-test everything to confirm there are no leaks or weak points.
Finally, we handle drywall repair, patching, and paint matching so your home looks the way it did before we started. You’re left with a fully functional plumbing system and no visual reminder that work was even done. The whole process is designed to be fast and complete, so you’re not living in a construction zone for weeks.

A complete Kitec replacement in South Natomas covers every inch of defective piping in your home—not just the visible sections. That includes hot and cold water lines, connections to fixtures, and any hidden runs behind walls or under floors.
We also handle all necessary drywall access, repairs, and paint touch-ups. You’re not left with holes in your walls or mismatched patches. Everything gets restored to pre-work condition.
For most one- to three-bedroom homes in South Natomas, a full repipe runs between $5,000 and $30,000 depending on square footage, pipe accessibility, and material choice. That might sound steep, but compare it to the cost of a single Kitec failure: $20,000+ in water damage, mold remediation, lost belongings, and insurance battles that often go nowhere.
South Natomas homes built in the early 2000s are especially at risk. Many still have original Kitec systems that are now 15 to 20 years old—well past the point where failures become common. If you’re in Natomas Park or North Natomas and you haven’t checked your plumbing, now’s the time.
Look for orange or blue flexible piping, usually visible near your water heater, under sinks, or in your basement or crawl space. Kitec pipes are often marked with “Kitec” or “XPA” on the tubing itself.
The fittings are brass and may show signs of corrosion or white residue, which indicates dezincification is already happening. If your home was built or renovated between 1995 and 2007, there’s a strong chance Kitec was used.
If you’re not sure, call us. We can confirm whether you have Kitec during a quick inspection and let you know what condition it’s in.
Most insurance policies won’t cover the cost of replacing Kitec before it fails. Insurance typically only covers sudden, accidental damage—not preventive maintenance or known defects.
If Kitec does burst and cause water damage, many insurers will deny the claim entirely or pay significantly less because the material is a known liability. Some companies refuse to insure homes with Kitec at all, and others charge higher premiums.
The $125 million settlement fund established after the 2011 lawsuit against IPEX has long been exhausted. If you’re hoping for manufacturer compensation, that ship has sailed. Your best move is to replace Kitec plumbing now, on your terms, before it becomes an emergency.
Most whole-home Kitec replacements take one to three days, depending on the size of your home and how accessible your plumbing is. Single-story homes with open crawl spaces are faster. Multi-story homes with pipes running through finished walls take longer.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption. You’ll have water shut off during active work hours, but we restore basic function each evening so you’re not without water overnight.
Once the new pipes are installed and tested, we complete drywall repairs and paint touch-ups within the same timeframe. You’re not waiting weeks for a contractor to come back and finish the job.
A burst Kitec pipe can release hundreds of gallons of water in minutes. If it happens while you’re home, you might catch it fast enough to limit damage. If it happens while you’re at work or on vacation, you’re looking at flooded rooms, ruined flooring, destroyed drywall, and potential mold growth.
The average cost of water damage from a single Kitec failure runs $20,000 or more—and that’s assuming your insurance covers it, which many won’t. You’ll also deal with displacement, lost belongings, and the stress of coordinating repairs across multiple contractors.
Beyond the immediate damage, a Kitec failure on record makes it harder to sell your home later. Buyers will see it in disclosures, and mortgage companies will treat your property as high-risk. Replacing Kitec pipes now avoids all of that.
Replacing just the fittings doesn’t solve the problem. While the brass fittings are the most common failure point due to dezincification, the piping itself also degrades over time—especially the hot water lines, which are under constant thermal stress.
Partial replacements leave you with a mixed system that’s harder to diagnose and repair down the line. You’re also still dealing with a material that was recalled for widespread failures.
A full Kitec replacement in South Natomas gives you a clean slate. You’re not patching a failing system—you’re installing new, reliable plumbing that’s designed to last 50+ years. That’s the only way to truly eliminate the risk.
For a typical one- to three-bedroom home in South Natomas, expect to pay between $5,000 and $30,000 for a complete repipe. The final cost depends on your home’s size, how accessible your plumbing is, and which materials you choose for the replacement.
That price includes removing all Kitec piping, installing new pipes, pressure testing the system, and completing all drywall repairs and paint matching. You’re not paying extra for follow-up visits or unfinished work.
We provide transparent estimates upfront, and our final costs often come in lower than the original quote. If you need financing options, we can discuss those during the consultation. The goal is to make this manageable—because waiting only increases the risk and the eventual cost.
