Hear from Our Customers
You stop wondering if today’s the day your pipes burst. You stop worrying about insurance companies dropping your coverage or refusing to renew because of known defective plumbing in your home.
You protect your home’s value. Buyers won’t touch a house with Kitec, and lenders know it’s a liability. Replacing it now means you’re not scrambling during a sale or dealing with a buyer’s cold feet after inspection.
You avoid the bigger bill. Most homeowners who wait end up paying for emergency repairs, water damage restoration, mold remediation, and then the repipe anyway. The total cost of fixing Kitec failures after the fact usually exceeds what a full repipe costs upfront. You’re not saving money by waiting—you’re gambling with a losing hand.
We’ve been serving Richmond Grove, CA and the surrounding area since day one. We’re licensed, insured, and we show up when we say we will.
Our Google rating sits at 4.7 out of 5 across 93 reviews because we don’t overcharge, we don’t drag jobs out, and we don’t leave you guessing about cost. Some of our customers have paid less than the original estimate—not because we lowball to get the job, but because we price fairly from the start.
Richmond Grove homes deal with soil contraction from dry weather, which makes pipe failures worse. We’ve seen it hundreds of times. We know what works here, and we know how to get your water back on the same day in most cases.
We start with a free estimate. You’ll know what it costs before we touch anything. No surprise fees, no upselling once we’re in your walls.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule the work around your life. Most residential Kitec repiping in Richmond Grove, CA takes one to two days depending on the size of your home. We remove the old Kitec lines and replace them with copper or PEX—materials that actually last.
You’ll have water back by the end of the day in most cases. We patch drywall, texture, and paint so you’re not left staring at holes in your walls. The job’s not done until it looks like we were never there.
We also offer a lifetime warranty on the work. If something goes wrong with what we installed, we come back and fix it. That’s how confident we are in what we do.

We pull out every inch of Kitec plumbing in your home—hot and cold lines, brass fittings, all of it. Kitec fails because of how the material breaks down and how the fittings corrode. Leaving any of it in place means you’re still at risk.
We replace it with copper or PEX depending on your home’s layout and your preference. Copper lasts 50 to 100 years and comes with a 50-year warranty. PEX is flexible, faster to install, and handles Richmond Grove’s soil movement better than rigid pipe.
After the plumbing work is done, we handle the finish. That means drywall repair, taping, texturing, and paint. A lot of plumbers skip this part or charge extra for it. We include it because a half-finished job isn’t a finished job.
You also get documentation for your insurance company and future buyers. We provide proof that the Kitec has been removed and replaced with code-compliant materials. That paperwork matters when you’re trying to get coverage or close a sale.
For most homes in Richmond Grove, CA, a full Kitec repipe runs between $5,000 and $15,000. The range depends on the size of your home, how much plumbing needs replacing, and how accessible your pipes are.
A one-to-three-bedroom house typically falls on the lower end. Larger homes with more bathrooms, multiple stories, or difficult access points cost more. If your pipes are buried in concrete slab or run through tight crawl spaces, that adds time and labor.
We give you a free estimate upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. No hidden fees, no surprises halfway through the job. And in a lot of cases, the final bill comes in under the estimate—not over.
Most residential Kitec repiping jobs in Richmond Grove, CA take one to two days. Smaller homes with straightforward layouts can be done in a day. Larger homes or properties with complex plumbing systems might take two.
You can stay in your home during the work. We shut off water while we’re replacing lines, but we get it back on by the end of each day so you can use sinks, toilets, and showers overnight.
The timeline also includes drywall repair and finish work. We don’t leave until the walls are patched, textured, and painted. Some plumbers will tell you a repipe takes a day but then leave you with open walls for weeks. That’s not how we work.
Most insurance companies won’t pay for a Kitec repipe unless you’ve already had a failure and filed a claim. Even then, they’ll usually only cover the damage—not the cost of replacing all the Kitec in your home.
What insurance will do is drop your coverage or refuse to renew if they find out you have Kitec and haven’t replaced it. Some companies charge higher premiums for homes with known defective plumbing. Others won’t insure the home at all.
Replacing your Kitec now protects your ability to get and keep coverage. Once it’s out, you can show your insurance company documentation that the problem’s been fixed. That paperwork can also help you avoid issues when you sell.
Your Kitec will fail. It’s not a question of if—it’s when. The pipes degrade from the inside, and the brass fittings corrode. Eventually, they burst without warning.
When that happens, you’re looking at water damage, potential mold growth, and emergency repairs that cost more than a planned repipe. Most homeowners who wait end up paying for the damage, the emergency plumbing work, and then the full repipe anyway.
You also risk losing your insurance coverage. If your insurer finds out you have Kitec and you haven’t replaced it, they can drop you or refuse to cover future claims. And if you try to sell your home, buyers will either walk away or demand a massive price reduction to cover the repipe themselves.
You can, but it won’t solve the problem. Kitec fails because of how the material itself breaks down over time. If one section is leaking, the rest of your system is degrading too—you just can’t see it yet.
Repairing individual leaks might buy you a few months, but you’ll be dealing with another failure soon after. Most homeowners who go the repair route end up spending more on multiple service calls than they would have spent on a full repipe.
The other issue is that patchwork repairs don’t satisfy insurance companies or home buyers. They want to see documentation that all the Kitec has been removed. A few repaired sections won’t cut it when you’re trying to get coverage or close a sale.
We’ve been doing this for 24 years, and we’re not interested in upselling you or dragging out the job. You get a free estimate, fair pricing, and a clear timeline before we start.
We finish the job completely—plumbing, drywall, texture, and paint. A lot of contractors will repipe your house and leave you staring at holes in the walls. We don’t work that way. The job’s not done until it looks like we were never there.
We also respond fast. If you’re dealing with an active Kitec failure, we offer 24/7 emergency service. And once the work’s complete, you get a lifetime warranty on what we installed. If something goes wrong with our work, we come back and fix it.
