Kitec plumbing wasn’t just recalled because it underperformed. It was recalled because it fails at a rate high enough that experts stopped asking “if” and started asking “when.” The brass fittings corrode from the inside out. The orange and blue pipes degrade. Water pressure drops as zinc oxide builds up and blocks flow.
Then one day, without warning, a fitting bursts. Water floods your walls, your floors, your belongings. Insurance often won’t cover it because the damage stems from a known defective material. You’re left paying for both the pipe replacement and the destruction it caused.
Homes in South Land Park built or renovated between 1995 and 2007 are prime candidates for Kitec. If you’ve got it, you’re living on borrowed time. A complete Kitec repipe removes every inch of the faulty system and replaces it with copper or PEX. You get consistent water pressure again. You sleep without wondering if tonight’s the night. And when you’re ready to sell, buyers won’t walk away or lowball you because of a plumbing time bomb.
We’ve built our reputation on transparency and speed. We’re available around the clock because plumbing emergencies don’t wait for business hours. When you call, you get a real response and a realistic timeline.
South Land Park homeowners deal with aging infrastructure. Many homes here were built in the 1950s and 60s, and those that were updated in the late 90s and early 2000s often got Kitec during the remodel. We’ve seen the damage it causes, and we’ve repiped enough homes in this area to know exactly what your house needs.
Our pricing is straightforward. Some of our customers have paid less than the original estimate because we don’t pad the job. We just do the work and move on.
First, we inspect your home to confirm you have Kitec and map out where it runs. We’ll look for the orange and blue pipes, the brass fittings, and any signs of corrosion or leaks that have already started. Then we give you a clear estimate with no surprises.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we shut off your water and start removing the old system. Every section of Kitec comes out—pipes, fittings, connections. We don’t leave any of it behind. Then we install new copper or PEX lines, depending on what makes sense for your home and your budget.
Most repiping jobs take a few days. You can stay in your home while we work. We’ll restore water access at the end of each day when possible. When we’re done, you’ll have a plumbing system that won’t corrode, won’t burst without warning, and won’t scare off buyers when you’re ready to sell.

A complete Kitec repipe means removing every inch of the defective plumbing and replacing it with durable materials. You’re not patching a leak or swapping out one section. You’re eliminating the entire system that’s guaranteed to fail.
In South Land Park, where 66.7% of housing is single-family detached homes and many were built or renovated during the Kitec era, this service protects your biggest investment. The median home value here reflects decades of equity. Letting Kitec sit in your walls puts all of that at risk.
You’ll also regain full water pressure. Kitec degrades from the inside, and as zinc oxide accumulates, your showers weaken and your faucets slow down. New pipes restore the flow you’re supposed to have. And if you’re planning to sell, you won’t have to disclose a plumbing system that buyers have been warned about by every home inspector in the region.
Insurance companies in California have started refusing coverage or hiking premiums for homes with Kitec. A repipe removes that liability. You’re no longer stuck explaining to your insurer why you haven’t addressed a known defect.
Look for orange or blue plastic pipes, usually in your basement, crawl space, utility room, or near your water heater. Kitec pipes are often labeled with “Kitec” or “KTC” on the tubing itself. The brass fittings connecting the pipes are another giveaway—they’re the parts that corrode first.
If your home was built or remodeled between 1995 and 2007, there’s a strong chance Kitec was installed. It was marketed as a cost-effective alternative to copper, and contractors used it widely during that window. A lot of South Land Park homes fall into that era, especially properties that were updated during the late 90s housing boom.
If you’re not sure, call us. We’ll come out, take a look, and tell you exactly what you’re dealing with. There’s no charge for the inspection, and you’ll know for certain whether you need to act.
Most Kitec repiping projects in South Land Park range from $4,000 to $15,000, depending on the size of your home, how much Kitec is installed, and whether we’re replacing it with copper or PEX. Larger homes or properties with complex plumbing layouts will cost more. Smaller homes with straightforward systems will cost less.
We’ll give you a transparent estimate after we inspect your property. No guessing, no vague ranges. You’ll know what the job costs before we start, and we don’t tack on surprise fees once we’re halfway through.
Some customers have told us they paid less than our original estimate because the job went faster than expected. We don’t pad the numbers. If it costs less, you pay less. The goal is to get your Kitec out and get your plumbing safe again, not to squeeze every dollar out of the process.
Most residential Kitec repipes take two to four days, depending on the size of your home and how much plumbing needs to be replaced. We work efficiently, but we don’t rush. Cutting corners on a repipe just means you’ll have problems later.
You can stay in your home during the work. We’ll shut off water while we’re actively replacing pipes, but we’ll restore access at the end of each day whenever possible. You won’t be without water for days at a time.
If your situation is urgent—say you’ve already had a leak or your insurer is pressuring you to act—we can often prioritize your job and get started faster. We offer 24/7 emergency service, and we understand that Kitec failures don’t wait for convenient timing.
Probably not. Most homeowner’s insurance policies exclude coverage for damage caused by faulty materials or poor workmanship. Since Kitec is a known defective product, insurers treat it as a maintenance issue, not a sudden accident. That means if your Kitec bursts and floods your home, you’re likely paying for both the water damage and the repipe out of pocket.
Some insurance companies in California have gone further. They’ve started denying coverage entirely for homes with Kitec, or they’ve raised premiums and added exclusions specifically for Kitec-related claims. If your insurer finds out you have Kitec and you haven’t replaced it, they may refuse to renew your policy.
The smarter move is to replace the Kitec before it fails. You avoid the water damage, you keep your insurance intact, and you’re not stuck scrambling for coverage after a disaster. It’s cheaper to repipe now than to repipe and repair after a flood.
You could, but it won’t solve the problem. The brass fittings are the most common failure point, but the pipes themselves also degrade over time. Replacing just the fittings means you’re still sitting on a system that’s going to fail. You’re buying a little time, not a real solution.
Kitec’s failure rate is high enough that plumbing experts don’t recommend partial fixes. The entire system is defective. Swapping out fittings is like patching a tire that’s already shredded—you might get a few more miles, but you’re not making it reliable.
A full repipe removes all the risk. You’re not wondering which part will go next or whether the pipes will hold for another year. You’re done with Kitec entirely, and you’ve got a plumbing system that’s built to last decades, not months.
You’ll have water flooding your home, and the damage can be severe. Kitec doesn’t just leak slowly—it bursts. That means gallons of water pouring into your walls, floors, and ceilings before you even realize what’s happening. Drywall gets soaked, flooring warps, and if the water reaches electrical systems, you’ve got a safety hazard on top of the mess.
Once the water is shut off, you’re looking at emergency repairs, mold remediation, and a full repipe anyway. The costs add up fast, and insurance likely won’t cover it. You’re paying for the destruction and the fix at the same time.
If you know you have Kitec, don’t wait. The longer it sits, the higher the chance it fails. We’ve seen too many homeowners deal with the aftermath of a burst pipe that they knew was coming. Call us before that happens, and we’ll get it replaced before you’re dealing with a disaster.
