You stop worrying about when your pipes will burst. That’s the biggest thing.
After we replace your Kitec system with copper or PEX, you’re looking at plumbing that’s built to handle Sierra Oaks water conditions for decades. No more wondering if today’s the day a fitting fails and floods your home. No more insurance companies flagging your property or buyers walking away during inspections.
The work itself takes three to five days for most homes. We open only the walls we need to, replace every section of Kitec, test the new system, then patch and paint so you’d barely know we were there. You get a system that works, a home that’s protected, and documentation that proves your plumbing is no longer a liability.
Your property value stays intact. Your insurance stays normal. And you sleep better knowing your family isn’t one burst pipe away from a disaster.
We’ve been handling residential and commercial Kitec repiping in Sierra Oaks, CA and throughout Sacramento for years. We’re the team with a 4.7-star Google rating from 93 reviews, and we built that reputation on showing up when we say we will and charging what we quoted.
Sierra Oaks homes are different. Higher-end construction, more complex layouts, homeowners who expect quality work and straight answers. We get that. We’ve repiped enough properties in this area to know what your home needs and how to do it without tearing your walls apart unnecessarily.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured. We offer 24/7 emergency service because Kitec doesn’t fail on a schedule. And we price everything upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
First, we come out and assess your entire system. We’re looking at where your Kitec runs, how it’s configured, and what access points make sense. You get a clear estimate that covers materials, labor, wall repair, and cleanup.
Once you approve, we schedule the work. Most Sierra Oaks homes take three to five days depending on size and layout. We start by shutting off water to the sections we’re replacing, then systematically remove the old Kitec and install new copper or PEX. We’re opening walls strategically—not gutting your house—and we’re keeping disruption as minimal as possible.
After the new system is in, we pressure test everything to make sure there are no leaks and that water flows properly to every fixture. Then we patch the drywall, match your paint, and clean up completely. You’re left with reliable plumbing and a home that looks like we were never there.
We also provide all the documentation you need for insurance, future buyers, or your own records. You’ll know exactly what was replaced and what materials we used.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting complete system replacement. That means every section of Kitec—hot and cold lines, supply lines, everything—gets pulled out and replaced with either copper or PEX depending on what makes sense for your home and budget.
We handle all the wall access, which means cutting, repiping, then patching and painting to match. We’re not leaving you with open walls or mismatched paint. In Sierra Oaks, CA, where home values are high and aesthetics matter, we treat your property like it’s our own.
You also get pressure testing, code compliance, and a full cleanup. We’re hauling away all the old Kitec, not leaving it in your garage. And if you’re dealing with insurance, we’ll provide the documentation and photos they need to process your claim.
Sacramento’s moderately hard water can be tough on plumbing, which is why we only use materials rated for these conditions. Kitec was never built to last here. Copper and PEX are. That’s what you’re getting—a system designed to handle what Sierra Oaks water throws at it for the next 30 to 50 years.
Check your water heater, under sinks, and in your basement or crawl space if you have one. Kitec pipes are usually orange or blue, sometimes gray. The fittings are brass and often stamped with “Kitec” or “KTC.”
If your home was built or renovated between 1995 and 2007, there’s a real chance you have it. That’s when Kitec was commonly installed throughout Sacramento, Folsom, Roseville, and surrounding areas including Sierra Oaks, CA. A lot of builders used it because it was cheap and easy to install.
If you’re not sure, call us. We can come out, inspect your system, and tell you definitively whether you have Kitec and what condition it’s in. That assessment doesn’t obligate you to anything—it just gives you the information you need to make a decision before a pipe bursts and makes it for you.
For most one-to-three-bedroom homes in the Sacramento area, you’re looking at somewhere between $5,000 and $30,000 depending on the size of your home, how the plumbing is laid out, and what materials you choose. Copper costs more than PEX, but both are solid long-term options.
Sierra Oaks homes tend to be larger and more complex, so costs can run higher than a basic tract home. But you’re also protecting a significant investment. The cost of replacing Kitec is a fraction of what you’d pay to repair water damage from a burst pipe—and that’s not even counting the insurance headaches or loss of property value.
We give you an upfront estimate before we start. No surprises, no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what the job costs, what’s included, and how long it’ll take. Some customers have told us our final bill came in lower than the original estimate, which doesn’t happen often in this industry.
No. Fittings for Kitec aren’t made anymore, and the pipe sizes don’t match standard plumbing fittings. Even if you could patch a section, you’d just be delaying the inevitable.
Kitec has a 100% failure rate. It’s not if it fails, it’s when. The pipes degrade from the inside out, and the brass fittings corrode and crack. Some plumbing systems last decades—Kitec’s average lifespan is under 10 years, and many systems installed in the late ’90s and early 2000s are already failing.
If you’ve got Kitec in your Sierra Oaks home, the only real solution is complete replacement. Anything else is just buying time, and not much of it. We’ve seen too many homeowners try to patch things only to deal with another failure six months later—and by then, they’ve spent money on repairs and still need the full repipe anyway.
Most residential projects take three to five days from start to finish. That includes removing the old Kitec, installing the new system, testing everything, and completing all the drywall and paint work.
Larger homes or more complex layouts can take longer. If you’ve got a multi-story property with plumbing running through difficult-to-access areas, we’ll let you know upfront what the timeline looks like. We’re not going to lowball the estimate just to get the job, then drag it out for two weeks.
During the work, you’ll have limited water access at times, but we coordinate with you to minimize the disruption. We’re not shutting off your water for five straight days—we’re working in sections so you can still use bathrooms and kitchens when we’re not actively working in those areas. For most families in Sierra Oaks, CA, life goes on pretty normally even while we’re repiping.
It depends on your policy and whether you’ve already had a failure. Most insurance companies won’t cover preventive replacement—they’ll only pay if the Kitec has already burst and caused damage. Even then, they’ll cover the damage, not necessarily the cost of replacing the entire system.
Here’s the bigger issue: many insurers either charge higher premiums or refuse to cover homes with Kitec at all. If you’re trying to sell, buyers’ insurance companies may flag it during inspections, which can kill deals or force you to drop your price.
We can help you document everything if you’re filing a claim. We’ll provide photos, detailed reports, and all the paperwork your insurance company needs. Some homeowners have had success getting partial coverage, especially if they can show the system was already starting to fail. But don’t count on insurance to foot the whole bill—most people end up paying out of pocket for the repipe, which is why acting before a catastrophic failure is usually the smarter financial move.
Both work. Copper lasts longer—50 years or more—and it’s what most high-end homes traditionally used. It handles Sacramento’s moderately hard water well, though mineral buildup can happen over time. It’s more expensive upfront, but it’s proven.
PEX is flexible, faster to install, and costs less. It’s also resistant to corrosion and handles temperature changes better than Kitec ever did. It’s rated for 30 to 40 years, and it’s become the standard for repipes in the last decade. Most homeowners in Sierra Oaks, CA go with PEX because it’s reliable, cost-effective, and gets the job done without the premium price tag of copper.
We’ll walk you through both options when we assess your home. There’s no wrong choice here—it’s about what fits your budget and your expectations. Either way, you’re getting a system that’s light-years better than Kitec and built to protect your home for decades.
