Your water pressure comes back. The constant worry about a burst pipe goes away. Your insurance company stops giving you trouble about coverage, and potential buyers won’t lowball your home because of the plumbing.
Kitec systems fail. It’s not a question of if, it’s when. The brass fittings corrode from the inside out, the pipes lose integrity under heat and pressure, and one day you’re dealing with water damage that could’ve been prevented.
A complete Kitec repipe in Natomas Park means replacing every compromised line with modern PEX or copper. You get consistent water flow throughout your home. You eliminate the risk of catastrophic failure. And you stop throwing money at temporary fixes that don’t solve the real problem.
Most homes here were built in the early 2000s, right when Kitec was being installed everywhere. If your house was built or renovated between 1995 and 2007, there’s a real chance you have it. And if you do, you already know the headaches it causes.
We’ve been handling residential and commercial plumbing in the Sacramento area since the late ’90s. We’re licensed, insured, and family-owned. Our Google rating sits at 4.7 stars from 93 reviews because we show up when we say we will, we do the work right, and we don’t pad the bill.
Natomas Park homeowners deal with specific challenges. The housing stock here is newer, which means Kitec is more common than in older Sacramento neighborhoods. The median home value is over $630,000, so protecting that investment matters. And with 68% of residents owning their homes, most people here are thinking long-term.
We get it. You’re not looking for the cheapest option. You’re looking for someone who understands what’s at stake and can handle a full repipe without turning your house into a construction zone for weeks.
First, we assess your current system. That means identifying every Kitec line in your home, checking the condition of the fittings, and mapping out the best route for new pipes. You’ll know exactly what needs to be replaced and why.
Next, we run new PEX or copper lines through your walls, attic, or crawlspace, depending on your home’s layout. PEX is the most common choice because it’s durable, resistant to corrosion, and easier to install without tearing up your walls. The actual repipe usually takes one day. We turn your water off in the morning, run the new lines, and have your water back on by the end of the day.
After that, we patch any access points we created. If we had to open drywall, we repair it. If we worked in the attic or crawlspace, we make sure everything’s sealed and insulated properly. Most wall patching happens on a second day, so you’re not without water while we finish cosmetic work.
You’re left with a plumbing system that’ll last 50+ years, full water pressure, and no more wondering when the next leak will happen.

A complete Kitec repipe means replacing all the compromised piping in your home. That includes hot and cold water lines, supply lines to fixtures, and any brass fittings that are part of the Kitec system. We don’t leave anything behind that could fail later.
In Natomas Park, most homes are 1,500 to 2,500 square feet. For a typical 1,500-square-foot home, you’re looking at a repipe cost between $6,000 and $12,000, depending on the layout and how accessible your plumbing is. Larger homes or homes with multiple stories will be on the higher end of that range.
You also get a warranty on the work. The materials we use are backed by manufacturer warranties that last decades, and our installation is guaranteed. If something goes wrong because of our work, we fix it.
The other thing you get is peace of mind with your insurance. Many carriers in California either won’t cover homes with Kitec or charge significantly higher premiums. Once the repipe is done, you can shop for better rates or restore full coverage with your current provider.
And if you’re thinking about selling, a completed repipe removes a major red flag for buyers. Homes with Kitec sit on the market longer and sell for less because buyers either walk away or negotiate the cost of repiping into their offer. You avoid that entirely.
Check your water heater, under sinks, and in your attic or crawlspace. Kitec pipes are usually orange or blue, though sometimes they’re gray or black. 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 higher chance you have it. That’s when Kitec was widely used across North America before the problems became obvious. Natomas Park saw a lot of construction during that window, so it’s common here.
You can also look at your home inspection report if you bought recently. Most inspectors call out Kitec because of its known failure rate. If you’re still not sure, we can come out and do a quick assessment. It takes about 20 minutes to confirm whether you have it and how extensive the system is.
They’ll keep degrading until they fail. The brass fittings corrode from dezincification, which means zinc leaches out and leaves the fitting brittle. The pipes themselves lose integrity when exposed to heat and pressure over time. Eventually, you get leaks or a full burst.
The damage from a burst pipe can be severe. Water spreads fast, and if it happens when you’re not home, you’re looking at flooded rooms, ruined flooring, damaged drywall, and potential mold issues. Insurance might cover some of it, but many policies exclude Kitec-related damage or require higher deductibles.
Even if your pipes haven’t failed yet, you’re likely dealing with low water pressure, discolored water, or small leaks that keep popping up. Those are signs the system is deteriorating. Fixing individual leaks doesn’t stop the underlying problem. You’re just buying time, and it’s usually not much time.
Most repipes are done in one day. We start in the morning, turn off your water, run the new lines, connect everything, and have your water back on by evening. You’ll be without water during the workday, but you’re not dealing with a multi-week project.
Wall patching and cosmetic repairs usually happen on a second day. If we had to open drywall to access pipes, we’ll patch and texture those areas so they blend in. That work doesn’t require turning off your water, so it’s less disruptive.
The timeline can stretch if your home has a complicated layout, multiple stories, or limited attic and crawlspace access. In those cases, we’ll let you know upfront. But for most single-family homes in Natomas Park, it’s a one- or two-day job from start to finish.
We minimize wall and ceiling penetrations as much as possible. Most of the new piping runs through your attic, crawlspace, or existing chases where the old pipes were. If we do need to open drywall, it’s usually small access points that we patch and texture afterward.
You won’t have gaping holes left in your walls. We’re not tearing out entire sections of drywall unless there’s no other way to access the plumbing. And when we do make openings, we repair them so they match the surrounding area. Most homeowners are surprised at how little visible damage there is.
The goal is to get the job done with as little disruption as possible. We protect your floors, move furniture if needed, and clean up before we leave. You’re not left with a mess to deal with after the repipe is finished.
For a typical 1,500-square-foot home, expect to pay between $6,000 and $12,000. Larger homes or homes with more complex layouts will be on the higher end. The final cost depends on how much piping needs to be replaced, how accessible it is, and whether we’re using PEX or copper.
PEX is usually less expensive because it’s faster to install and requires fewer fittings. Copper costs more but some homeowners prefer it for durability or resale value. Either way, you’re getting a system that’ll last 50+ years, so the upfront cost is spread over decades of reliable service.
Compare that to the cost of ongoing repairs, higher insurance premiums, and the hit your home value takes if you leave Kitec in place. Most homeowners find that a full repipe pays for itself in avoided headaches and preserved equity. And if you’re planning to sell, it removes a major obstacle that could tank your sale price or scare off buyers entirely.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency service throughout Sacramento, and most emergency calls get a same-day response. If your Kitec system has already failed and you’re dealing with active leaking or water damage, we can be there within a few hours to stop the leak and assess the damage.
Emergency repairs usually involve shutting off the water to the affected area, cutting out the failed section, and installing a temporary fix to get your water back on. But that’s just a band-aid. If one section has failed, the rest of the system is likely in similar condition, which means a full repipe is the only real solution.
We’ll walk you through what needs to happen next and give you a clear timeline and cost estimate. No surprises, no pressure. Just honest information so you can make the right call for your home and your budget.
