If your Fruitridge Pocket home was built between 1995 and 2007, there’s a real chance Kitec plumbing is sitting in your walls right now. And if it is, you’re living on borrowed time.
Kitec pipes don’t age well. The fittings corrode, the pipes weaken, and eventually they burst—sometimes slowly with a drip that ruins drywall, sometimes all at once in the middle of the night. You’ll wake up to flooding, ruined floors, destroyed belongings, and a repair bill that makes your stomach drop.
A complete Kitec repipe in Fruitridge Pocket means ripping out every foot of that failing pipe and replacing it with copper or PEX that actually lasts. You get consistent water pressure again. You stop worrying every time you leave the house. And you protect the equity you’ve worked years to build. This isn’t about fixing a leak—it’s about removing the problem before it costs you thousands more than it should.
We’ve been handling residential and commercial Kitec repiping in Fruitridge Pocket and throughout Sacramento for years. We’re licensed, insured, and we don’t play games with pricing.
Most of our customers tell us they were surprised the final bill came in lower than the estimate. That’s not an accident—it’s how we do business. We’re not here to upsell you or pad the invoice. We’re here to get your plumbing fixed right so you can move on with your life.
We also run 24/7 emergency service, because pipe failures don’t wait for business hours. If something goes wrong, we’re available—and we don’t tack on weekend or holiday fees just because we can.
First, we come out and inspect your plumbing to confirm you’ve got Kitec and figure out how much of your system needs replacing. We’re looking at your water lines, your fittings, and any areas where corrosion or leaks have already started.
Once we know the scope, we give you a clear estimate—no vague ranges or surprise fees later. Then we schedule the work around your life, not ours. The actual repiping usually takes a few days depending on the size of your home, and you can stay in the house the whole time.
We remove all the old Kitec pipe and fittings, replace them with copper or PEX, and make sure everything is up to code. After that, we test the system, clean up the work area, and walk you through what we did. You’re left with reliable plumbing that won’t keep you up at night wondering when the next leak is coming.

A full Kitec repipe in Fruitridge Pocket isn’t cheap, but it’s a fraction of what you’ll pay if those pipes fail first. In Sacramento, repiping typically runs between $5,000 and $30,000 depending on your home’s size and layout. That includes removing every section of Kitec, installing new pipe, and bringing your system up to current plumbing standards.
You’re also paying for peace of mind. Homes with Kitec are harder to insure, harder to sell, and constantly at risk for water damage that can run into the tens of thousands once you factor in mold remediation and structural repairs. Replacing it now means you’re not dealing with that headache later.
And here’s the thing about Fruitridge Pocket specifically—this neighborhood has a lot of homes from that exact era when Kitec was being installed. If you’re a homeowner here, you’re not alone in dealing with this. But waiting doesn’t make it cheaper. The longer Kitec sits in your walls, the more likely it is to fail, and the more expensive the aftermath becomes.
Check your water heater, under sinks, and in your basement or crawl space for orange or blue flexible pipes with brass fittings. Kitec is usually labeled with “Kitec” or “XPA” on the pipe itself.
If your home was built or renovated between 1995 and 2007 in Fruitridge Pocket or anywhere in Sacramento, there’s a decent chance it was installed. A lot of builders used it during that window because it was cheap and easy to work with—until it started failing a few years later.
If you’re not sure, call us. We can come out, take a look, and tell you exactly what you’re dealing with. It’s a quick inspection, and it’s worth knowing now instead of finding out the hard way when a pipe bursts at 2 a.m.
Eventually, they fail. It’s not a matter of if—it’s when. Kitec fittings corrode from the inside, and the pipes themselves weaken over time. Some people get lucky and just deal with slow leaks and low water pressure for a while. Others wake up to a flooded house.
Water damage from a burst pipe can easily cost $10,000 to $20,000 or more once you factor in repairs to floors, walls, furniture, and mold remediation. And that’s on top of the cost to finally replace the plumbing you should’ve replaced earlier.
Insurance companies know Kitec is a problem, too. Some won’t cover homes with it, and others charge higher premiums. If you’re trying to sell, buyers will either walk away or demand a price drop big enough to cover a full repipe. Waiting doesn’t save you money—it just makes the problem worse.
Most residential repipes take between two and five days depending on the size of your home and how much plumbing needs replacing. You can stay in the house during the work—we’re not tearing the place apart.
We’ll need access to walls where the pipes run, and there will be some noise and dust, but it’s not a full renovation. We work efficiently, clean up as we go, and make sure you still have water access during the process whenever possible.
Once the new pipes are in, we test everything to make sure there are no leaks and that your pressure is where it should be. Then we’re done. You’re left with a plumbing system that actually works the way it’s supposed to.
You can, but it’s a short-term fix that’s going to cost you more in the long run. If one section of Kitec is failing, the rest of it isn’t far behind. Patching a leak now doesn’t stop the next one from happening in six months.
Every time you call someone out for another repair, you’re paying for labor, parts, and the inconvenience of dealing with another plumbing issue. Those costs add up fast, and you’re still left with a system that’s going to keep failing.
A full repipe handles the problem once. You’re not waiting for the next leak or wondering which pipe is going to go next. You replace it all, and you’re done. It’s a bigger upfront cost, but it’s the only way to actually solve the problem instead of just managing it.
Yes. We’re available 24/7 for plumbing emergencies, including Kitec failures. If a pipe bursts and you’re dealing with flooding, call us. We’ll get someone out as fast as we can—usually same day for true emergencies.
We don’t charge extra for nights, weekends, or holidays. An emergency is an emergency, and we’re not going to price gouge you when your house is flooding.
That said, the better move is to replace your Kitec before it gets to that point. Emergency repairs are stressful, expensive, and you’re still left with a system that’s going to fail again. If you know you’ve got Kitec, don’t wait for it to blow. Get it repiped now and skip the disaster altogether.
We typically use copper or PEX depending on your home’s layout, your budget, and what makes the most sense for your plumbing system. Both are reliable, code-compliant, and built to last decades longer than Kitec ever could.
Copper is the traditional choice—it’s durable, handles high pressure well, and it’s been the standard in plumbing for years. PEX is flexible, easier to install in tight spaces, and often more affordable. It also holds up well in Sacramento’s soil conditions, which matters if you’ve got any exterior lines.
We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each option during your estimate so you can make an informed decision. Either way, you’re getting a system that won’t corrode, leak, or fail the way Kitec does.
