El Dorado Hills homes often have unique challenges with KITEC pipes that were installed in many properties during specific construction periods. These pipes are prone to sudden failure and have been the subject of class-action lawsuits due to water damage. We specialize in KITEC replacement and know exactly how to identify and address these problematic systems.
We also handle the details most homeowners don’t think about: proper permits, pressure testing, and ensuring everything meets current building codes. Our work comes with warranties that protect your investment, and we’re available 24/7 if you ever have concerns about your new plumbing system.
Several clear signs indicate it’s time for repiping in your El Dorado Hills home. If you’re experiencing consistently low water pressure throughout the house, rust-colored or foul-smelling water, or visible corrosion on exposed pipes, your plumbing system is likely failing.
Homes built with KITEC pipes (common in certain construction periods) should be repiped proactively, as these pipes are prone to sudden failure that can cause significant water damage. If your home is 50+ years old with original galvanized steel pipes, repiping prevents costly emergency repairs and water damage.
Strange noises in your walls when water runs, frequent leaks requiring repairs, or water that takes a long time to heat up are also strong indicators that your pipes need replacement rather than continued repairs.
Both PEX-A and Type L copper are excellent repiping materials, but they serve different needs and preferences. Copper pipes are traditional, extremely durable, and many homeowners prefer them for their proven longevity and ability to handle high temperatures without any concerns.
PEX-A tubing is more flexible, making installation easier in tight spaces and reducing the number of joints needed. It’s also more resistant to freezing and typically costs less to install. PEX doesn’t corrode like old galvanized steel pipes and maintains consistent water flow over time.
The best choice for your El Dorado Hills home depends on your budget, your home’s layout, local building requirements, and your personal preferences. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
Most complete home repiping projects in El Dorado Hills take 2-5 days, depending on your home’s size, layout, and the complexity of the existing plumbing system. Single-story homes typically take less time than multi-story homes with complex pipe routing.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. In most cases, we can restore basic water service each evening so you’re not without water overnight. We coordinate with you to ensure the most critical areas (like your main bathroom and kitchen) are prioritized based on your family’s needs.
Factors that can extend the timeline include discovering additional problems once walls are opened, permit requirements, or choosing to upgrade fixtures during the repiping process. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed if anything changes during the project.
Professional repiping does require accessing pipes behind walls, but we minimize damage through careful planning and strategic access points. We use specialized tools to locate pipes precisely and often work through existing access points like closets, basements, or crawl spaces when possible.
When wall opening is necessary, we make clean, precise cuts and coordinate with trusted drywall professionals to restore your walls to their original condition. We protect your floors, furniture, and belongings throughout the process and handle all cleanup as part of our service.
Many El Dorado Hills homeowners are surprised by how little disruption modern repiping techniques cause. We’re not the crew that leaves your house looking like a construction zone. We respect your home and take pride in leaving it clean and functional when we’re finished.
Repiping costs in El Dorado Hills vary based on your home’s size, the materials you choose, and the complexity of your existing plumbing layout. Most homeowners invest between $8,000-$15,000 for complete home repiping, though costs can be higher for larger homes or complex situations.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Many of our customers find that our final costs are actually lower than our initial estimates because we work efficiently and don’t add unnecessary charges. We’ll give you a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials and labor costs.
Consider that repiping is typically a one-time investment that lasts 50+ years, increases your home’s value, and prevents costly emergency repairs and water damage. When you factor in the peace of mind and elimination of ongoing leak repairs, most homeowners find repiping provides excellent long-term value.

Emergency situations often involve KITEC pipe failures, burst galvanized steel pipes, or slab leaks that require immediate attention. We carry emergency repair materials and can often provide temporary solutions while planning permanent repiping work that fits your schedule and budget.
