You stop wondering when the next leak will happen. Kitec pipes don’t give warning signs—they burst suddenly, usually in hot water lines, and flood your home with thousands of gallons before you can react. That’s not a small leak you can towel up. It’s structural damage, mold growth, and repair bills that climb into five figures.
When we complete your Kitec repipe in El Dorado, CA, you’re not just fixing a problem. You’re removing it entirely. Your insurance company stops flagging your policy. Your home value stays protected. Buyers and lenders no longer see your property as high-risk.
You also get back the peace of mind that comes with knowing your plumbing won’t fail while you’re at work or asleep. The pipes we install—Type L copper or PEX-A—are built to last decades, not ten years. Most residential Kitec repiping projects in El Dorado take one to two days, and you’re done worrying about this for good.
We’ve been serving El Dorado, Cameron Park, Folsom, and the greater Sacramento area for decades. We’ve seen what Kitec does to homes built between 1995 and 2007—and we’ve replaced hundreds of these systems across El Dorado County.
El Dorado’s elevation changes, seasonal temperature swings from Sierra Nevada influence, and hard water conditions put extra stress on plumbing systems. Kitec wasn’t built to handle that. We know the local building codes, the soil conditions, and the specific challenges your home faces.
Our team shows up on time, gives you transparent pricing before we start, and finishes the job without surprise fees. We’re licensed, insured, and available 24/7 if your Kitec system fails before you can schedule a replacement. That’s not marketing talk—it’s how we’ve earned a 4.7-star Google rating from 93 customers who needed reliable plumbing work done right.
First, we come to your El Dorado home and assess your current plumbing layout. We identify where the Kitec runs, what connections need replacing, and whether your brass fittings show signs of dezincification. You get a clear estimate before any work starts—no diagnostic fees, no hidden costs.
Once you approve, we schedule the repipe. Most homes take one to two days. We shut off your water, remove the old Kitec piping, and install premium-grade Type L copper or PEX-A tubing throughout your home. We handle both hot and cold water lines, replace all fittings, and make sure everything meets California building codes.
After installation, we test the system for leaks and pressure issues. Then we patch and finish any drywall or access points we opened. You’re left with a fully functional plumbing system that won’t fail in ten years—and a home that’s insurable, sellable, and safe. We clean up, walk you through what we did, and you’re done.

When we handle your Kitec repipe in El Dorado, CA, you get complete removal and replacement of every Kitec pipe and brass fitting in your home. We don’t patch over problem areas—we eliminate the entire system. That includes hot and cold water lines, supply lines to fixtures, and all connections that contain the high-zinc brass fittings that cause dezincification.
We use only premium materials: Type L copper or PEX-A tubing, both rated for decades of reliable performance in El Dorado County’s hard water conditions. You also get full patching and finishing of any walls, ceilings, or access points we open during installation. We’re not drywall specialists, but we handle the basics so you’re not left with gaping holes.
El Dorado homes built in the late ’90s and early 2000s often have Kitec running through attics, crawl spaces, and behind walls. Our team has worked in hundreds of these layouts. We know how to access your plumbing without tearing apart your home, and we know how to work around El Dorado’s varying terrain and elevation. You get fast, professional installation with minimal disruption to your daily routine—and a system that won’t fail when you need it most.
If your home was built or renovated between 1995 and 2007, there’s a chance you have Kitec. Look for plastic pipes with blue (cold water) or orange (hot water) outer layers, usually marked with “Kitec” or “KTC” on the pipe itself. The brass fittings connecting these pipes are another giveaway—they’re often stamped with the Kitec brand.
Check your attic, crawl space, water heater connections, and under sinks. Kitec was commonly used in El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, and surrounding Sacramento County developments during that construction boom. If you’re not sure, we can assess your system quickly—no diagnostic fees, just a straightforward answer about what you’re dealing with.
The manufacturer recalled Kitec in 2005 and stopped production by 2007, but thousands of homes still have it installed. If you find it, don’t wait for it to fail. The class action lawsuit settlement in 2013 confirmed what the industry already knew: these pipes burst without warning, and the failure rate only increases as the system ages.
Kitec failures aren’t small leaks. The pipes burst open suddenly, often in hot water lines where heat accelerates the breakdown of the brass fittings. You can have thousands of gallons flooding your home in minutes—through ceilings, walls, floors—before you even realize what’s happening.
The damage isn’t just water. It’s structural problems, mold growth in walls and insulation, ruined flooring, destroyed belongings, and repair costs that can easily hit $20,000 or more. Your insurance may cover some of it, but many carriers are now reluctant to insure homes with known Kitec plumbing. Some won’t cover you at all, and others will charge significantly higher premiums.
If your Kitec system fails, call us immediately. We offer 24/7 emergency service in El Dorado, CA, and we can respond fast to stop the damage and start the repipe process. But the smarter move is replacing it before it bursts. Once you know you have Kitec, every day you wait is another day you’re risking catastrophic water damage.
Most residential Kitec repiping projects in El Dorado range between $9,000 and $15,000, depending on your home’s size, layout, and the pipe material you choose. That might sound like a lot, but compare it to the cost of repeated emergency repairs, water damage restoration, mold remediation, and the loss of insurance coverage.
A full Kitec repipe replaces your entire plumbing system in one to two days. You’re not patching leaks or reacting to the next failure—you’re eliminating the root problem. For many El Dorado homeowners, replacing the system once is far more cost-effective than repairing it repeatedly and hoping it holds.
We provide transparent pricing before we start any work. We assess your home, explain what needs to be done, and give you a clear estimate with no hidden fees. Some customers have told us the final cost came in lower than the original quote. We’re not here to upsell you—we’re here to fix the problem and give you a plumbing system that actually works.
Yes—in a good way. Kitec plumbing actively hurts your home’s value and insurability. Buyers see it as a red flag, lenders view it as high-risk, and insurance companies either won’t cover you or charge higher premiums. Some buyers will walk away entirely. Others will demand a price reduction that far exceeds the cost of a repipe.
When you replace Kitec with certified residential Kitec repiping in El Dorado, CA, you remove that liability. Your home becomes easier to sell, easier to insure, and easier to finance. You’re no longer explaining to potential buyers why they should take on a plumbing system that’s one burst away from disaster.
Insurance companies also respond positively. Once the Kitec is gone and replaced with Type L copper or PEX-A, you’re no longer flagged as high-risk. Your premiums stabilize, your coverage improves, and you’re not scrambling to find a carrier willing to insure a home with known defective plumbing. It’s a straightforward investment that protects your property value and your financial security.
Most El Dorado homes are completed in one to two days. We shut off your water, remove the old Kitec system, install new piping, test everything, and patch the access points we opened. You’ll have limited water access during the work, but we move fast to minimize disruption.
The timeline depends on your home’s size and layout. Larger homes or properties with complex plumbing configurations might take slightly longer, but we’re not dragging this out for weeks. Our team has decades of combined experience in residential repiping throughout El Dorado County—we know how to work efficiently without cutting corners.
You don’t need to leave your home during the repipe, but you’ll want to plan around the water shutoff. We’ll coordinate the schedule with you so it fits your routine. Once we’re done, you have a fully functional plumbing system that won’t fail in a decade. No more wondering when the next leak will hit. No more worrying about water damage while you’re at work or on vacation.
You can patch a leak here and there, but you’re not solving the problem. Kitec fails because of dezincification—the brass fittings break down when exposed to moisture and oxygen, creating zinc oxide blockages that cause the pipes to burst. That’s happening throughout your entire system, not just at one leak point.
Repairing one section doesn’t stop the rest of your Kitec plumbing from failing. Industry professionals predict that failure rates will only increase as these systems age. Most Kitec installations are already past their ten-year lifespan, and every home with this plumbing will eventually experience premature pipe failure.
A professional Kitec repipe in El Dorado, CA removes the entire system and replaces it with materials that won’t fail. It’s a one-time investment that eliminates the root cause instead of reacting to each new leak. For most homeowners, that’s far more practical—and far less expensive—than paying for emergency repairs every few months while waiting for the next burst to flood your home.
