If your Folsom home was built between 1995 and 2007, there’s a real chance you have Kitec plumbing. These pipes don’t just wear out slowly—they fail suddenly, often without warning. The brass fittings corrode from the inside, weakening until they burst and flood your home.
You’ve probably noticed the signs already. Water pressure drops. Small leaks that seem random. Maybe your neighbors have dealt with it, or you’ve heard about the pipe issues that hit Folsom hard a few years ago.
Repiping isn’t about fixing a problem you might have someday. It’s about replacing a system that’s already failing before it costs you thousands in water damage, ruined floors, and insurance headaches. Once we replace your Kitec with copper, you get consistent water pressure, no more surprise leaks, and a plumbing system that actually lasts.
We’ve handled hundreds of repipes across Folsom, Roseville, Rocklin, and El Dorado County. We were here during the 2019-2020 pipe crisis when entire neighborhoods needed emergency repiping.
We know which homes are at risk. We know how Folsom’s water chemistry accelerates Kitec corrosion. And we know how to repipe your home quickly without tearing it apart.
You’ll get an upfront price before we start. No surprise charges when the job’s done. We show up on time, work efficiently, and most homeowners stay in their house while we complete the work.
First, we inspect your current system to confirm you have Kitec and identify where all the pipes run. You’ll get a detailed estimate that covers everything—materials, labor, wall repairs, and paint touch-ups.
Once you approve, we start by shutting off water to specific sections so you’re never completely without service. We remove the old Kitec pipes and fittings, then install new copper lines throughout your home. We work room by room to minimize disruption.
After the new pipes are in, we pressure test the entire system to make sure everything works properly. Then we patch and paint any access points we created. Most residential Kitec repipe projects in Folsom take three to five days depending on your home’s size and layout.

A complete Kitec repipe means we replace every section of defective piping in your home—hot and cold water lines, supply lines to fixtures, and all the brass fittings that cause the failures. We use Type L copper pipe, which handles Folsom’s water conditions and high temperatures without degrading.
You’re not just getting new pipes. You’re getting restored water pressure throughout your home, especially in upstairs bathrooms and kitchens where Kitec systems typically fail first. You’re also getting a plumbing system that insurance companies won’t flag as a liability.
For Folsom homeowners, this matters when you sell. Buyers and their inspectors know about Kitec. Homes with these pipes sit on the market longer, and buyers either walk away or demand price reductions that exceed the cost of repiping. Replacing the system now protects your home’s value and eliminates a major selling obstacle.
Check your water heater connections, under sinks, and in your basement or crawl space. Kitec pipes are usually orange or blue, though some are gray. The fittings are brass and often stamped with “Kitec” or “KTC.”
If your home was built or remodeled between 1995 and 2007 in Folsom, Roseville, Rocklin, or surrounding areas, you’re in the high-risk zone. That’s when most contractors installed these systems before the defects became widely known.
You can also call us for a free inspection. We’ll identify whether you have Kitec and show you exactly where it’s installed. Even if you’re not ready to repipe immediately, knowing what you have helps you plan and avoid emergency situations.
Most Folsom homes cost between $5,000 and $15,000 to repipe, depending on square footage, how many bathrooms you have, and whether your pipes are accessible or hidden behind finished walls. Larger homes with complex layouts can run up to $30,000.
That might sound like a lot until you compare it to the alternative. One major Kitec failure can cause $20,000 to $50,000 in water damage—ruined floors, collapsed ceilings, destroyed furniture, and mold remediation. Insurance may not cover it if they know you had Kitec and didn’t replace it.
We give you an exact price upfront after inspecting your home. No guessing, no hourly rates that spiral out of control. You’ll know what it costs before we touch a single pipe.
Technically yes, but it’s not a real solution. The problem isn’t just the fittings—it’s the entire system. The pipes themselves degrade, and even if you replace some fittings, you’re still left with a defective system that will fail somewhere else.
Partial repairs also don’t solve the underlying issue for insurance or resale. Buyers and insurance companies care whether you have Kitec, not whether you patched a few sections. You’ll still face the same obstacles when you try to sell or renew coverage.
A full repipe is the only permanent fix. It eliminates the risk completely, restores your home’s value, and gives you a plumbing system you can actually rely on for the next 50 years.
Most residential repipes take three to five days for a typical single-family home. Larger homes or properties with difficult pipe access can take up to a week. We work efficiently and keep disruption to a minimum.
You can usually stay in your home during the work. We shut off water to specific areas as we go, so you’re never completely without service. We coordinate with you on timing for things like showers and cooking.
After the pipes are installed, we handle all the finish work—patching drywall, texture matching, and paint touch-ups. You’re not left with a bunch of holes in your walls. The job’s done when your home looks normal again and your plumbing works the way it should.
Yes, because it removes a major liability that scares off buyers and limits your insurance options. Homes with Kitec sit on the market longer and sell for less. Buyers either walk away or negotiate steep discounts to cover the repiping cost themselves.
Appraisers and inspectors flag Kitec as a defect. It’s not a minor issue—it’s a known system failure that affects your home’s marketability. Replacing it puts your property back on equal footing with comparable homes that don’t have this problem.
Beyond resale value, repiping protects your investment from catastrophic water damage. One major leak can cost more than the repipe itself, and the damage often exceeds what insurance will cover. Replacing the pipes now is cheaper than dealing with the consequences of waiting.
You’ll likely face significant water damage—flooded rooms, ruined drywall, destroyed flooring, and potentially mold growth if the water isn’t dried out immediately. Ceilings can collapse, and everything in the affected area gets soaked.
The immediate costs include emergency plumbing repairs, water extraction, drying equipment, demolition of damaged materials, and reconstruction. You’re looking at tens of thousands of dollars, and that’s before you factor in lost belongings and temporary housing if the damage is severe.
Insurance coverage is unpredictable with Kitec. Some policies exclude known defects, especially if the insurer was aware you had these pipes. Even if they cover the damage, you’ll deal with claims, deductibles, and potential rate increases. The smartest move is repiping before failure happens, not after.
