If your home was built between 1995 and 2007 in South Sacramento, there’s a real chance you have Kitec plumbing running through your walls. These systems were recalled after widespread failures, and $125 million was awarded in a class action lawsuit because of the damage they caused.
The fittings corrode from the inside. Water pressure drops. Then one day, without warning, a pipe bursts and floods your home. The average water damage repair in Sacramento runs between $1,200 and $5,000, and that’s before you factor in mold remediation or replacing ruined belongings.
You can’t repair Kitec. You can only replace it. The longer you wait, the more you’re gambling with your home and everything in it. A full Kitec repipe removes every inch of the old system and installs new piping that won’t fail on you in five years.
Once it’s done, you’re not dealing with emergency calls, insurance headaches, or wondering if today’s the day your ceiling caves in. You’ll have a plumbing system that works the way it should.

With a 4.7-star Google rating from 93 reviews, most of our work comes from people who’ve seen what we do and trust us enough to recommend us. That’s how we’ve stayed in business this long.

Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule the work around your life. Most residential Kitec repipe jobs in South Sacramento take a few days, and you can stay in your home the entire time. We shut off water only when necessary and keep disruption to a minimum.
We remove all the old Kitec piping and fittings, then install new PEX or copper lines depending on what makes sense for your home. After everything’s in, we test the system, restore your walls, and clean up. You’re left with a plumbing system that’s code-compliant, reliable, and won’t put your home at risk.

A complete Kitec repipe means removing every section of Kitec pipe and every brass fitting in your home. We don’t patch over problem areas or leave sections behind. If it’s Kitec, it comes out.
In South Sacramento, most homes we work on are single-family residences built during the housing boom in the early 2000s. These homes typically have Kitec running to water heaters, under slab foundations, and through interior walls. Sacramento’s moderately hard water accelerates the corrosion process, which is why we’re seeing more failures here than in other parts of the state.
The replacement process includes installing new supply lines, connecting to your existing fixtures, pressure testing the entire system, and patching drywall where access was needed. We also coordinate with inspectors if your city requires a permit. On average, repiping a one- to three-bedroom home in South Sacramento ranges from $5,000 to $30,000 depending on the size of your home, the complexity of the layout, and the materials used.
Once it’s done, your home value goes up, your insurance company stops asking questions, and you can actually sell your house without Kitec killing the deal.
Kitec pipes are usually orange or blue, though sometimes they’re gray. The fittings are brass and often stamped with “Kitec” or the brand names “PlumbBetter,” “IPEX AQUA,” “WarmRite,” “Kitec XPA,” or “AmbioComfort.”
Check near your water heater, under sinks, or in your attic or crawl space. If your home was built or remodeled between 1995 and 2007 in South Sacramento, and you see orange or blue piping with brass fittings, you likely have Kitec. If you’re not sure, we can come out and confirm it for you during a free estimate.
Most residential Kitec repipe jobs in South Sacramento cost between $5,000 and $30,000. The final price depends on the size of your home, how much Kitec is installed, and whether we’re working with a slab foundation or crawl space.
Smaller homes with straightforward layouts cost less. Larger homes with complex plumbing or multiple stories cost more. We give you a transparent, upfront estimate before any work starts, and that number doesn’t change unless you ask us to do something extra. The cost of a repipe is a lot easier to handle than $5,000 in water damage repairs plus mold remediation after a pipe bursts.
Most Kitec repipe jobs take between two and five days, depending on the size of your home and how accessible your plumbing is. You can stay in your home during the entire process and keep up with your normal routine.
We shut off water only when we’re actively working on connections, and we make sure you have access to water at the end of each day. Once the new piping is in and tested, we patch the drywall, clean up, and you’re done. The timeline can shift if we run into unexpected issues like hidden leaks or structural concerns, but we’ll keep you updated the entire way.
Most homeowners insurance policies don’t cover the cost of replacing Kitec plumbing because it’s considered a maintenance issue, not sudden damage. However, if your Kitec system has already failed and caused water damage, your insurance may cover the damage itself, though not the repipe.
Some insurance companies in California are now refusing to renew policies or provide coverage for homes with Kitec still installed. If you’re trying to sell your home, buyers’ lenders may require you to replace the Kitec before closing. It’s worth calling your insurance agent to ask what your policy covers and whether having Kitec puts your coverage at risk.
You can, but it’s not going to solve the problem. Kitec doesn’t fail in just one spot. The entire system is degrading at the same rate, so if one section is leaking now, the rest will follow soon.
Repairing individual leaks is like putting a band-aid on a broken bone. You’ll spend money on emergency calls, water damage repairs, and temporary fixes, and you’ll still end up needing a full repipe eventually. The smarter move is to replace the entire system now, before you’re dealing with a flooded house and an insurance claim. A full Kitec repipe in South Sacramento gives you a permanent fix and eliminates the risk entirely.
We typically use PEX or copper piping, depending on what makes the most sense for your home and your budget. PEX is flexible, cost-effective, and resists corrosion, which makes it a solid choice for most residential repipe jobs in South Sacramento.
Copper is more expensive but extremely durable and has a long track record of reliability. Both options are code-compliant and will last decades longer than Kitec ever could. During your estimate, we’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each material and help you decide what works best for your situation. Either way, you’re getting a plumbing system that won’t fail on you.
