You already know Kitec is a problem. Maybe your insurance company told you. Maybe a home inspector flagged it. Maybe you’ve seen the white residue building up or noticed your water pressure dropping.
Here’s what matters: Kitec has a 100% anticipated failure rate. Not some of it. All of it. The brass fittings corrode from the inside out, and when they go, they don’t drip—they burst.
A complete Kitec repipe in Meadow Vista, CA means you’re done dealing with that risk. No more wondering if today’s the day. No more patch jobs that buy you six months. You get a full replacement with materials that don’t have a class-action lawsuit attached to them. Your water pressure comes back. Your insurance company stops sending letters. You can actually sell your house when you’re ready.
This isn’t about upgrading for the sake of it. It’s about removing a known defect before it costs you tens of thousands in water damage.
We’ve been handling residential and commercial Kitec repiping in Meadow Vista and throughout Placer County since long before most people knew what Kitec was. We’ve seen how these systems fail in homes built during the late ’90s and early 2000s—the exact era when most of Meadow Vista’s housing stock went up.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured. We show up when we say we will. Our pricing is transparent before we start, and we don’t tack on surprise fees halfway through the job.
Most of our work comes from referrals, which tells you something. When your neighbor had their Kitec replaced and the job was done right, they probably called us. That’s how we’ve built a 4.7-star reputation across 93 Google reviews in the Sacramento metro area.
First, we assess your entire plumbing system—not just the visible pipes. Kitec is often hidden behind walls, in crawl spaces, and running through attics. We map out where it all is so nothing gets missed.
Then we pull permits and handle the paperwork. You don’t need to call the county or figure out inspection schedules. We do that.
During the actual repipe, we remove every inch of Kitec—supply lines, fittings, everything—and replace it with PEX or copper, depending on what makes sense for your home. Most residential Kitec repiping projects in Meadow Vista, CA take two to four days for smaller homes. Larger properties take longer, but we’ll give you a timeline upfront.
You can stay in your home while we work. We maintain water service to different areas so you’re not completely without plumbing for days. Once the new system is in, we patch walls, clean up, and schedule the final inspection.
When we’re done, your plumbing works the way it should. No corrosion. No brass fittings that’ll fail in five years. Just reliable water delivery that’ll last decades.

A complete Kitec repipe means we’re removing every section of Kitec plumbing in your home or building—not just the parts that are leaking right now. That includes hot and cold water lines, all the fittings, and any connectors tied to the old system.
You get new supply lines installed with materials that won’t corrode. PEX is common because it handles temperature swings well, resists mineral buildup, and doesn’t crack under pressure. Copper is another option if that’s what your home needs. Both last decades longer than Kitec ever could.
We handle permits, inspections, and all the finish work. That means patching drywall, repainting where we cut access points, and making sure your home looks like we were never there—except for the part where your plumbing actually works now.
In Meadow Vista, where the median home was built in 1978 but many properties were updated or built during the Kitec installation window of 1995 to 2007, this kind of work isn’t rare. Plenty of homes in Placer County are dealing with the same issue. The difference is whether you handle it proactively or wait until a fitting blows and floods your house.
For most homes in Meadow Vista, a full Kitec repipe runs between $5,000 and $15,000, depending on the size of your house, how much Kitec is installed, and whether we’re working with a single-story or multi-level property. Larger homes or properties with complex layouts cost more—sometimes up to $30,000 if there’s extensive work involved.
That price includes removing all the old Kitec, installing new PEX or copper lines, pulling permits, handling inspections, and doing the finish work like patching walls and repainting. We don’t give you a low estimate and then add fees once we’re halfway done.
Before we start, you’ll get an upfront price. If something changes during the job, we talk to you first. No surprises.
Kitec pipes are usually orange or blue, and the fittings are brass. You’ll often see it in areas like your water heater connections, under sinks, or running through your attic or crawl space. The pipes themselves are flexible and might have “Kitec” stamped on them, though not always.
If your home was built or had plumbing work done between 1995 and 2007, there’s a decent chance Kitec was used. That’s when it was most commonly installed across Placer County and the broader Sacramento area.
If you’re not sure, we can come out and check. It takes about 20 minutes to inspect the visible plumbing and confirm whether you’ve got Kitec or something else. Better to know now than find out when a fitting bursts and your hallway’s underwater.
You can, but it doesn’t solve the problem. Kitec fails because the brass fittings corrode from the inside—it’s a defect in the material itself, not just wear and tear. If one section is leaking, the rest of your system is on the same timeline.
Replacing one section buys you a few months, maybe a year. Then another section fails. And another. You end up paying for multiple service calls, multiple repairs, and you’re still living with a system that’s going to keep breaking.
A full Kitec repipe in Meadow Vista, CA costs more upfront, but it’s the only way to actually fix the issue. You’re done with emergency calls. Done with water damage risk. Done with insurance companies questioning your coverage. One project, and the problem’s gone.
No. Most homeowners stay in their homes during a Kitec repipe. We work in sections, so you’ll have water service to different parts of the house at different times. You won’t be without running water for the entire project.
There will be some disruption—we’re cutting into walls, running new lines, and accessing areas like attics or crawl spaces. But it’s not a gut job. We’re not tearing your house apart. We make access points where we need them, do the work, and close everything back up.
For a typical residential Kitec repiping project in Meadow Vista, the work takes two to four days depending on the size of your home. You’ll need to plan around limited water access during certain hours, but you can sleep in your own bed and keep your routine mostly intact.
Usually not. Most insurance policies don’t cover the cost of replacing defective materials—they’ll cover damage caused by a failure, but not the proactive replacement. And even then, if your insurer knows you have Kitec and you haven’t replaced it, they might deny a claim if it bursts.
Some insurance companies in California have started refusing to renew policies for homes with Kitec still installed. Others will cover you but at a higher premium or with specific exclusions. It varies by provider, but the trend is clear: insurers don’t want to cover Kitec homes.
The class-action lawsuit against Kitec’s manufacturer ended years ago, and the deadline to file a claim has passed. That means the cost of replacement falls on you as the homeowner. It’s not cheap, but it’s a lot less expensive than dealing with a flood, a denied insurance claim, and a home you can’t sell because buyers won’t touch it.
PEX is flexible, resistant to corrosion, and handles temperature changes without cracking. It’s faster to install because it doesn’t require soldering, which can lower labor costs. It also resists mineral buildup better than copper, which matters in areas with hard water.
Copper is rigid, durable, and has been used in plumbing for decades. It doesn’t degrade from UV exposure if it’s installed in areas with sunlight, and some people just prefer it because it’s a known quantity. It costs more in both materials and labor because installation takes longer.
For most Kitec repipes in Meadow Vista, PEX makes sense. It’s reliable, cost-effective, and performs well in the kind of temperature swings you get in Placer County. Copper works too, and if that’s what you want, we’ll install it. Either way, you’re getting a system that’ll outlast Kitec by decades.
