You stop worrying about when your pipes will burst. That’s the real outcome here.
Kitec systems fail without warning. One day everything’s fine, the next day you’re dealing with water damage, mold, and an insurance company that doesn’t want to cover it. Professional Kitec repiping in McClellan Park eliminates that risk completely.
You also protect your home’s value. Buyers walk away from Kitec homes, and insurance companies either refuse coverage or jack up your premiums. Replacing the system now means you can sell when you want to, insure at normal rates, and sleep without wondering if tonight’s the night those fittings give out.
The work gets done in days, not weeks. You’ll have durable copper piping with a 50-year warranty, modern fixtures that actually work, and no more pressure drops or discolored water. Your home becomes safe again.
We’ve been handling residential and commercial plumbing in the Sacramento area for over 24 years. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve seen what happens when Kitec systems hit their breaking point.
McClellan Park homes were built right in the middle of the Kitec installation window—1995 to 2007. That means a lot of properties here are sitting on borrowed time. We know this area, we know the housing stock, and we know how to get the job done without tearing your house apart.
Our rating sits at 4.7 stars because we show up when we say we will, we quote you a real number, and most customers end up paying less than the estimate. No diagnostic fees, no surprise charges, no runaround.
First, we inspect your system. We need to see how much Kitec you’ve got, where it runs, and what’s involved in replacing it. That gives us the information we need to quote you accurately.
Once you approve the estimate, we pull permits and schedule the work. Most residential Kitec repiping projects in McClellan Park take three to five days depending on the size of your home and how accessible your plumbing is. We use trenchless technology when possible, which means we only need two small access points instead of digging up your yard.
We remove all the Kitec—pipes and fittings—and replace it with Type L copper. That’s the durable stuff that lasts up to 100 years. We handle the city inspections, test the system for leaks, and walk you through everything before we leave. You get a workmanship warranty separate from the manufacturer coverage, and we clean up after ourselves.
If you’ve got an emergency—a burst pipe, flooding, anything urgent—we respond 24/7. Most calls get handled the same day, usually within a few hours.
Ready to get started?
You’re not just getting new pipes. You’re getting a complete system overhaul that addresses every weak point in your Kitec plumbing.
We remove every section of Kitec pipe and every brass fitting. Those fittings are what fail first—they corrode from the inside out, and there’s no way to repair them because they’re not manufactured anymore. Leaving even one Kitec fitting in your system defeats the purpose of repiping.
The replacement is Type L copper with proper fittings that meet current code. Copper handles Sacramento’s hard water better than most materials, and it doesn’t degrade the way Kitec does. You’ll also get updated shutoff valves, pressure testing, and a full inspection to make sure everything’s sealed and functioning.
We handle permits and coordinate with the city for inspections. That’s not optional—McClellan Park requires it, and skipping that step creates problems when you try to sell. We also manage cleanup, so you’re not left with drywall dust and pipe scraps all over your house.
If your home was built in the 2000s, there’s a good chance you’ve got Kitec. Most McClellan Park properties from that era do. The class action settlement deadline passed in 2020, so there’s no compensation available anymore. You’re covering this out of pocket, but waiting only makes it worse.
Look for orange and blue pipes, usually in your basement, crawl space, or near your water heater. Kitec hot water lines are orange, cold water lines are blue, and the fittings are brass.
If your home was built or renovated between 1995 and 2007, you’re in the high-risk window. McClellan Park saw a lot of construction during that period, so many homes here have Kitec systems. You can also check your home inspection report if you bought recently—most inspectors flag Kitec as a defect.
The pipes are usually stamped with “Kitec” or “KTC,” but not always. If you’re not sure, call us. We’ll come out, take a look, and tell you what you’ve got. There’s no charge for that.
They’ll fail. It’s not a question of if, it’s when. Kitec pipes don’t leak slowly—they burst open, usually at the fittings, and flood your home.
The brass fittings corrode from the inside because of a chemical reaction with the water. You won’t see it happening until it’s too late. Hot water pipes fail first because heat accelerates the breakdown. Once one section goes, others usually follow.
You’re also risking your insurance coverage. A lot of companies won’t insure homes with Kitec anymore, and the ones that do charge higher premiums. If your pipes burst and your insurer finds out you knew about the Kitec and didn’t replace it, they might deny your claim. That leaves you paying for water damage, mold remediation, and repairs out of pocket.
Most residential jobs take three to five days. Larger homes or properties with complicated layouts might take a bit longer, but we’re usually done within a week.
We work efficiently without cutting corners. The timeline depends on how much Kitec you have, where it’s located, and whether we need to open walls or use trenchless methods. We’ll give you a realistic schedule upfront so you know what to expect.
You’ll have limited water access during the work, but we coordinate with you to minimize disruption. We’re not tearing your house apart—we’re strategic about access points and we patch and clean as we go. By the time we’re done, you’ve got a fully functional system and a home that’s back to normal.
It depends on the size of your home and how much Kitec needs to be replaced. Most residential Kitec repipe projects run between $4,000 and $15,000, but that’s a wide range because every home is different.
We give you an upfront estimate after we inspect your system. No diagnostic fees, no hidden costs. Most of our customers are surprised when the final bill comes in lower than the estimate—we quote high to avoid surprises, then charge you for the actual work.
Financing is available if you need it, and some homeowners insurance policies cover part of the cost if the Kitec has already caused damage. We’ll work with you to figure out what makes sense. The cost of replacing Kitec now is a lot less than the cost of repairing water damage, mold, and structural issues after a burst pipe floods your home.
No. Kitec fittings aren’t manufactured anymore, and they’re not compatible with standard plumbing fittings. You can’t repair them, and you can’t replace just one section.
Even if you could patch a fitting, it wouldn’t solve the problem. The entire system is degrading. Fixing one leak just means you’re waiting for the next one, and the next one after that. It’s like putting a band-aid on a broken bone.
A full Kitec repipe is the only real solution. You remove all the Kitec pipes and fittings, replace them with durable copper, and eliminate the risk. Anything short of that is a temporary fix that costs you money without actually protecting your home.
Yes. If your Kitec pipes burst, we respond 24/7. Most emergency calls get handled the same day, usually within a few hours.
We’ll stop the flooding, assess the damage, and start the repipe process as quickly as possible. Emergency work moves fast because we know you can’t wait—water damage gets worse by the hour, and mold starts growing within 24 to 48 hours.
We’re local to the Sacramento area, so we’re never far from McClellan Park. When you call, you’re talking to someone who can actually help you, not a call center. We’ll walk you through what’s happening, what needs to be done, and how long it’s going to take. Then we show up and handle it.
