You’re not losing sleep over whether tonight’s the night your pipes burst. You’re not wondering if your insurance company is about to drop you or jack up your rates because of outdated plumbing.
Your home value isn’t being dragged down by a known defect that scares off buyers. You’ve got modern, reliable piping—PEX or copper—that doesn’t corrode from the inside out.
The work gets done in a few days. You stay in your home the whole time. And when it’s finished, you’ve got a system that actually lasts—not one that’s designed to fail.
That’s what Kitec repiping in Little Pocket, CA should look like. No flooding. No insurance headaches. No resale problems.
We’ve been handling residential and commercial plumbing in the Sacramento area since day one. We’re licensed, insured, and locally owned—which means lower overhead and better pricing for you.
Little Pocket’s housing stock is mostly midcentury ranch homes from the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s. But plenty of updates happened in the late ’90s and early 2000s—right when Kitec was being installed everywhere. We know this neighborhood, and we know which homes are sitting on borrowed time.
Our Google rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 93 reviews. People mention our response time, our transparency, and the fact that we don’t inflate the estimate once we’re on-site. We show up when we say we will, we do the work right, and we don’t surprise you with the bill.
First, we come out and assess your home. We’re looking at how much Kitec is actually in your walls, where it runs, and what replacement material makes the most sense—usually PEX or copper.
Then we give you a flat, upfront estimate. No hourly guessing games. You know what it costs before we touch a pipe.
The actual repipe usually takes one to two days depending on your home’s size. We cut access points where needed, pull out the old Kitec, and run the new lines. You can stay in the house the whole time. Water gets shut off in sections, not all at once.
After the new system is in and tested, we patch the walls. That’s typically done the next day. Then you’re done—new pipes, no leaks, no Kitec liability hanging over your head.

You’re getting complete removal of all Kitec piping and fittings—not just the sections that look bad. The brass fittings are just as much of a problem as the pipe itself because of dezincification, where the zinc breaks down and leaves the fitting weak.
We replace everything with either PEX or copper, depending on your preference and budget. Both are code-compliant and built to last. We handle all the permits, inspections, and coordination with the city.
In Little Pocket, where home values range from $500,000 to over $1 million, protecting that investment matters. A full repipe also means you can get proper insurance coverage again—or avoid losing the coverage you already have. Some insurers in California are giving homeowners deadlines to replace Kitec or they won’t renew the policy.
Wall patching and paint matching are part of the process. We’re not leaving you with open drywall and a mess to deal with. The goal is to get your plumbing fixed and your home back to normal as fast as possible.
Look for orange and blue plastic pipes, usually in your basement, crawl space, or near your water heater. The fittings are brass and often stamped with “Kitec” or the manufacturer names like IPEX or KTC.
If your home was built or remodeled between 1995 and 2007, there’s a decent chance Kitec was used. It was popular in the Sacramento area during that window, especially in Folsom, Roseville, Rocklin, Elk Grove, and surrounding neighborhoods like Little Pocket.
If you’re not sure, call us. We’ll come out, take a look, and tell you what you’ve got—no charge for that. It’s a quick visual check, and it’s worth knowing either way.
Most residential repipes run between $5,000 and $15,000 depending on the size of your home and how much Kitec is in the walls. Smaller homes with simpler layouts are on the lower end. Larger homes with multiple bathrooms and complex plumbing are higher.
That price includes removing all the old Kitec, installing new PEX or copper piping, pressure testing the system, and patching the drywall. If there’s additional damage—like water stains or mold from a previous leak—that’s separate, but we’ll tell you upfront.
We give you a flat estimate before we start. No hourly rates, no surprise charges. What we quote is what you pay, and in some cases, the final bill has come in under the estimate when the job goes faster than expected.
The actual repiping work usually takes one to two days. Day one is removing the old Kitec and running the new lines. Day two is testing the system and patching the walls.
You don’t have to move out. Water gets shut off in sections as we work, so you’ll still have access to bathrooms and the kitchen for most of the process. We coordinate with you to minimize disruption.
After the repipe is done and inspected, you’re back to normal. No lingering construction, no waiting weeks for follow-up work. We move fast because we know you’ve got a life to get back to.
Probably not. The class action settlement deadline passed in January 2020, so there’s no manufacturer payout anymore. And most insurance policies don’t cover the cost of replacing defective materials—they’ll cover damage from a leak, but not the repipe itself.
What insurance will do is either raise your rates or refuse to renew your policy if they find out you have Kitec. Some carriers are giving homeowners deadlines—replace it within 90 days or lose coverage. That’s becoming more common in California.
The good news is that once the Kitec is gone, your insurance situation improves. You’re no longer a high-risk property, and you won’t have trouble getting coverage when you sell or refinance.
Eventually, they fail. It’s not a matter of if—it’s when. The fittings corrode from dezincification, and the pipes themselves degrade from the inside. When they go, they don’t just drip. They burst, and you’re looking at serious water damage.
Floors, drywall, furniture, electronics—all of it gets soaked. Repairs from a major Kitec failure can easily run $10,000 to $30,000 or more, depending on how long the water runs before you catch it.
On top of that, your home value takes a hit. Buyers either walk away when they see Kitec in the inspection report, or they demand a price reduction to cover the repipe. You’re better off handling it now, on your terms, than waiting for it to become an emergency or a dealbreaker during a sale.
We’ve been doing this for over 24 years, and we’ve built our reputation on showing up fast, doing the work right, and charging what we say we’re going to charge. No bait-and-switch pricing, no disappearing after the estimate.
We’re a small, family-owned company with low overhead, so our rates are competitive without cutting corners. We’re licensed and insured, and we handle everything—permits, inspections, wall patching, cleanup.
Our 4.7-star Google rating comes from people who’ve actually hired us, and a lot of those reviews mention two things: we’re on time, and we’re honest. If you’re dealing with Kitec in Little Pocket, CA, you need someone who knows the local housing stock and can get the job done without dragging it out. That’s what we do.
