If your Mather home was built between 1995 and 2007, there’s a real chance you have Kitec plumbing. Those bright blue and orange pipes seemed like a cost-effective copper alternative back then. Now they’re a ticking clock.
Kitec fails because of dezincification in the brass fittings. Water chemistry breaks down the zinc, weakening connections until they burst without warning. It’s not if, it’s when.
You’re looking at flooded rooms, ruined floors, destroyed drywall, and tens of thousands in water damage repairs. Or you handle it now with a full Kitec repipe in Mather, CA—swap the entire system for copper or PEX that’ll last 50-100 years, and sleep without wondering if tonight’s the night your pipes let go.
Complete residential Kitec repiping in Mather means consistent water pressure, no more temperature swings in the shower, and a home you can actually sell when you’re ready. Most projects finish in 1-2 days. You get a lifetime warranty. And you stop living with that low-grade dread every time you hear water running.
We handle Kitec repiping services in Mather with the same approach we bring to every job: show up on time, do it right, charge what we quoted. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s actually good news for you—because cheap repiping means shortcuts, and shortcuts mean callbacks.
We’ve built a 4.7-star Google rating across 93 reviews by being straight with people. If your Kitec system is already leaking, we respond 24/7. If you’re being proactive and want it out before problems start, we’ll schedule it fast and finish faster.
Mather homeowners deal with the same issue across the region: aging housing stock from the late 90s and early 2000s when Kitec was everywhere. We’ve repiped dozens of homes in your area. We know the layouts, the common problem zones, and how to get in and out without tearing your house apart.
First, we inspect your system to confirm it’s Kitec. Easy to spot—blue cold water lines, orange hot water lines, usually stamped with “Kitec,” “KTC,” or “IPEX.” We map out your plumbing layout and give you an upfront price. No surprises later.
On day one, we shut off your water and start removing the old Kitec pipes and fittings. We replace everything with either copper or PEX, depending on what makes sense for your home and budget. PEX is faster to install and costs less. Copper lasts forever and some people just prefer it.
We run new supply lines to every fixture—sinks, toilets, showers, appliances. We test for leaks, check pressure, make sure everything works exactly how it should. Then we patch any access holes, clean up completely, and turn your water back on.
Most Mather homes are done in one to two days. You’ll have some drywall touch-up to handle afterward, but we’re not leaving you with a construction zone. You get a lifetime warranty on the work, and a plumbing system that’s actually reliable.

A complete Kitec repipe in Mather, CA means removing every inch of Kitec pipe and every brass fitting in your home. We’re not patching problem areas or replacing one section—that just kicks the can down the road. The whole system has to go.
You get new supply lines in copper or PEX running to all your fixtures. We replace shut-off valves, pressure regulators if needed, and anything else that’s part of the old system. Everything gets pressure tested before we close walls back up.
Mather’s housing stock includes a lot of single-story ranch homes and split-levels from the late 90s. That actually makes repiping faster in many cases—easier attic and crawl space access compared to multi-story homes with complex layouts. We use that to your advantage to keep costs down and timelines tight.
The work includes cleanup, haul-away of old materials, and a final walkthrough so you see exactly what was done. We don’t leave until you’re clear on how to use your new system and what’s covered under warranty. And if something ever does go wrong with our work, we’re local and we’ll be back to fix it.
Check your exposed pipes in the garage, basement, crawl space, or under sinks. Kitec cold water pipes are bright blue. Hot water pipes are bright orange. That color combo is the giveaway.
Look for stamps on the pipes themselves. You’ll usually see “Kitec,” “KTC,” or “IPEX” printed right on them. If your home was built or repiped between 1995 and 2007, and you see those blue and orange lines, it’s Kitec.
If you’re still not sure, call us. We’ll come out, take a look, and tell you for free whether you’ve got Kitec and what kind of shape it’s in. No pressure, no sales pitch—just a straight answer so you know what you’re dealing with.
Most residential Kitec repiping projects in Mather run between $4,000 and $12,000 depending on home size, number of fixtures, and whether you choose PEX or copper. Single-story homes with straightforward layouts cost less. Two-story homes with multiple bathrooms cost more.
PEX is the more affordable option and installs faster. Copper costs more upfront but some homeowners prefer it for longevity and resale value. We’ll walk you through both and give you a firm quote before we start.
Here’s the thing: that number might sound high until you compare it to water damage restoration. One burst Kitec pipe can easily cost $15,000-$30,000 in repairs once you factor in drywall, flooring, mold remediation, and lost belongings. A repipe is cheaper than a flood, and it’s a one-time fix with a lifetime warranty.
Most homes are done in one to two days. Smaller single-story homes with easy attic or crawl space access can sometimes finish in a single day. Larger homes or properties with complex plumbing layouts might take two full days.
You’ll be without water during the work, so plan accordingly. We move fast to minimize disruption. We’re not dragging the job out—we know you need your house back.
After we’re done, you might need a drywall contractor to patch and paint access holes. That’s separate from our work, but we keep those openings as small as possible and we’ll refer you to someone local if you need a name. The plumbing itself is fully functional and warrantied the moment we finish.
You can, but it’s throwing money away. If one section of Kitec is failing, the rest of the system is right behind it. Same age, same materials, same water chemistry causing the same dezincification in every brass fitting.
Replacing one bad section buys you a few months, maybe a year. Then another section fails. Then another. You’re paying for multiple service calls, multiple repairs, and you’re still living with the stress of waiting for the next leak.
A full Kitec repipe in Mather costs more upfront, but it’s the only permanent fix. You’re done. No more emergency calls, no more water damage risk, no more wondering when the next failure hits. One project, lifetime warranty, problem solved for good.
Absolutely. Kitec is a known defect that shows up on home inspections and kills deals. Buyers either walk away or demand huge price reductions to cover the cost of repiping themselves. You’re losing $10,000+ in negotiating power the moment an inspector spots those blue and orange pipes.
Replace it with copper or PEX before you list, and that problem disappears. You’re selling a home with modern, reliable plumbing that’ll last decades. That’s a selling point, not a liability.
Even if you’re not selling soon, you’re protecting your equity. Water damage from a Kitec failure doesn’t just cost money to fix—it leaves a disclosure requirement that follows your home forever. Buyers will know it flooded, even after repairs. Handle the repipe now and you avoid that entire mess.
Yes. If your Kitec system is actively leaking or has already burst, call us any time—24/7 emergency service. We’ll get someone out fast to stop the water, assess the damage, and start the repipe process as soon as possible.
Emergency repiping costs the same as scheduled work. We’re not gouging you because it’s urgent. You’re already dealing with enough stress—we’re not adding to it with inflated pricing.
Even if you’re not in crisis mode yet, don’t wait until you are. The class action settlement expired in 2020, so there’s no compensation coming. Every day you keep Kitec in your walls is another day you’re risking a flood. Call us, get a quote, and get it handled before it becomes an emergency.
