If your River Park home was built or renovated between 1995 and 2007, there’s a real chance you have Kitec plumbing. And if you do, the question isn’t if it will fail—it’s when.
Kitec pipes don’t give you much warning. The brass fittings corrode from the inside out through a process called dezincification. You might notice lower water pressure or discolored water, but often the first sign is a burst pipe flooding your home.
The damage adds up fast. Water seeps into walls, ruins flooring, creates mold problems, and racks up repair bills that dwarf the cost of repiping. Insurance companies know this, which is why many won’t cover homes with Kitec or charge higher deductibles if they do.
A full Kitec repipe in River Park removes every compromised pipe and fitting in your home. You get modern, code-compliant plumbing that won’t corrode, won’t burst, and won’t keep you up at night wondering if today’s the day. Your water pressure improves. Your insurance situation stabilizes. And you can sell your home without disclosing a plumbing system that scares off buyers.
We’ve repiped dozens of River Park homes, most of them ranch-style properties built during the exact years Kitec was being installed. We know which neighborhoods got hit hardest. We know how these homes are laid out. And we know how to replace your plumbing without tearing your house apart.
River Park sits in Sacramento County, where thousands of homes were built or renovated during the Kitec era. Many homeowners here have no idea their plumbing is on borrowed time. We’ve seen what happens when Kitec fails—the flooding, the mold, the insurance headaches—and we’d rather get to your home before that happens.
We’re California licensed (Lic #916322), fully insured, and we answer our phones 24/7. No voicemail. No runaround. Just straight answers about what you’re dealing with and what it takes to fix it.
First, we inspect your home to confirm you have Kitec and map out where it runs. Most River Park homes have it in hot water lines, but we check everything. We’ll show you the orange and blue pipes, the brass fittings, and explain exactly what needs replacing.
Next, we give you a written estimate with no diagnostic fees. You’ll know the full cost upfront, and we often finish under budget. We schedule the work around your life, not ours.
During the repipe, we remove all Kitec piping and fittings, then install new copper or PEX lines that meet current California plumbing codes. We work clean, protect your floors and furniture, and keep disruption minimal. Most residential Kitec repiping jobs in River Park take two to four days depending on home size.
After installation, we test every line for leaks and proper pressure. We patch any access holes we made, haul away the old materials, and walk you through what we did. You get a written warranty on our workmanship, and your home is back to normal—except now your plumbing actually works the way it should.

A complete Kitec repipe in River Park, CA means we remove every section of Kitec pipe and every brass fitting in your home. We replace it with materials that won’t corrode—either copper or PEX, depending on your home’s layout and your budget.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. Water pressure improves because there’s no mineral buildup choking your lines. Your water heater works more efficiently. And you can stop worrying about a pipe bursting while you’re at work or on vacation.
River Park homes from the 1990s and early 2000s often have Kitec in the hot water system, sometimes in cold lines too. Many of these homes are owner-occupied, well-maintained properties in a neighborhood where people stay for years. That’s why repiping makes sense here—you’re protecting an investment you plan to keep.
We also handle the permit process, coordinate inspections, and make sure everything meets Sacramento County building codes. If you’re selling, we provide documentation that shows buyers your plumbing is no longer a liability. If you’re staying, you get peace of mind that your home won’t flood the next time you turn on a faucet.
Check your water heater, under sinks, and in your attic or crawl space for orange or blue flexible pipes with brass fittings. Kitec pipes are usually marked with “Kitec” or “KTC” on the pipe itself.
If your home was built or renovated between 1995 and 2007, there’s a good chance you have it. River Park saw a lot of construction and renovation during those years, and Kitec was popular because it was cheap and easy to install.
You can also call us for a free inspection. We’ll come out, check your plumbing, and tell you exactly what you’re dealing with. No charge for the evaluation, and no pressure to commit to anything until you’re ready.
Most residential Kitec repiping jobs in River Park run between $4,000 and $12,000 depending on your home’s size, layout, and how much Kitec needs replacing. Single-story ranch homes—common in River Park—are usually on the lower end because access is easier.
We give you a written estimate before we start, and we don’t charge diagnostic fees. Some companies lowball the estimate then hit you with change orders. We don’t do that. The price we quote is the price you pay, and we often finish under budget.
Compare that to the cost of water damage from a burst Kitec pipe—easily $10,000 to $50,000 once you factor in drywall, flooring, mold remediation, and lost belongings. Repiping is cheaper than one major flood, and it prevents a lifetime of smaller leaks and repairs.
Most River Park homes take two to four days for a complete Kitec repipe. Single-story ranch homes are faster. Two-story homes or properties with complex layouts take longer.
You’ll have water most of the time. We work in sections, so we only shut off water when we’re actively connecting new lines. We’ll let you know ahead of time when to expect interruptions.
We work clean and keep disruption minimal. You don’t need to move out. We protect your floors, furniture, and belongings, and we clean up at the end of each day. By the time we’re done, your home looks normal—just with plumbing that actually works.
Most homeowners insurance policies don’t cover Kitec replacement because it’s considered a maintenance issue, not sudden damage. Insurance might cover the water damage after a Kitec pipe bursts, but they won’t pay to replace the system before it fails.
Some insurance companies in California are refusing to cover homes with Kitec at all, or they’re charging higher premiums and deductibles. If you’re trying to get coverage or renew your policy, having Kitec can become a real problem.
The good news is that replacing your Kitec system removes that issue entirely. You can shop for better insurance rates, and you won’t have to disclose a plumbing problem that makes underwriters nervous. We provide documentation after the repipe that you can share with your insurance company to prove the work was done.
You could replace just the brass fittings, but it’s not a long-term fix. The Kitec pipes themselves also degrade over time, and you’ll end up dealing with leaks and pressure problems down the road.
Partial repairs might buy you a year or two, but they don’t solve the underlying issue. You’re still living with a plumbing system that’s designed to fail. And when it does, you’ll pay for the repair plus the water damage.
A full repipe costs more upfront, but it’s the only way to actually fix the problem. You replace everything at once, you get a warranty on the work, and you’re done. No more patching leaks. No more wondering when the next fitting will corrode. Just reliable plumbing that does its job.
We’ve repiped dozens of River Park homes, and we know exactly what we’re looking at when we open up your walls. We understand how these homes are built, where Kitec typically runs, and how to replace it without unnecessary demolition.
We’re licensed, insured, and we answer our phones 24/7—no voicemail, no waiting. We give you transparent pricing upfront, and we often finish jobs for less than the original estimate. Our Google rating is 4.7 out of 5 based on 93 reviews, and customers consistently mention that we show up on time, work clean, and do what we say we’ll do.
You’re not hiring the cheapest option. You’re hiring a contractor who knows River Park, knows Kitec, and knows how to repipe your home the right way the first time. That’s worth paying for.
