You stop wondering when the flooding will start. Kitec systems installed between 1995 and 2007 don’t give warnings before they fail—the brass fittings corrode from the inside, and one day you’ve got water pouring through your ceiling.
Replacing Kitec plumbing means you’re done with that risk. No more low water pressure from corroded fittings. No more explaining to your insurance company why you kept a known defect in your home. No more repair bills stacking up while the real problem gets worse.
In Land Park, where the median home value sits at $817,259, a catastrophic pipe failure isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s tens of thousands in water damage, ruined hardwood floors, destroyed drywall, and weeks of contractors tearing apart your home. A complete Kitec replacement in Land Park costs between $5,000 and $15,000 for most homes—a fraction of what you’d spend fixing flood damage.
We’ve handled Kitec replacement throughout the Sacramento area since before most homeowners even knew what Kitec was. We’re a family-owned company, licensed and insured, and we’ve seen what happens when people wait too long.
Land Park homes from the late ’90s and early 2000s are prime candidates for Kitec systems. If you’re in one of those Craftsman or Tudor-style homes that got updated during that window, there’s a real chance you’ve got it. We’ll come out, give you a free estimate, and tell you exactly what you’re dealing with—no pressure, no runaround.
Our reputation in Land Park comes from showing up when we say we will, doing the work right, and charging what we quoted. Sometimes less. That’s it.
First, we inspect your system to confirm you have Kitec and map out where it runs. Kitec is identifiable by its orange or blue piping, but the real problem is in the brass fittings you can’t see. We’ll show you what’s there and explain what needs to happen.
Then we plan the repipe around your schedule. Most Kitec replacement jobs in Land Park take a few days, and you stay in your home the whole time. We’re not tearing out entire walls—we work methodically, access what we need to access, and replace your old system with copper or PEX piping that’ll last decades.
After the new pipes are in, we pressure-test everything, restore your walls, and handle the finish work. You’re left with reliable plumbing and peace of mind. The whole process is faster than most people expect, and we clean up after ourselves.
Ready to get started?
When we replace Kitec plumbing in Land Park, you’re getting a complete system overhaul. That means removing every section of Kitec pipe and every brass fitting—not patching, not partial fixes. We install new supply lines throughout your home, test for leaks, and make sure your water pressure is where it should be.
We also handle the wall repair, texture matching, and paint. You’re not left with a functional system and a house that looks like a construction zone. For most one-to-three-bedroom homes in Land Park, the full job—materials, labor, finish work—runs between $5,000 and $30,000 depending on your home’s layout and how accessible your plumbing is.
Land Park’s older homes sometimes have plumbing tucked into tight spaces or running through finished basements. We’ve worked in enough of them to know how to access what we need without destroying your home. And because we’re local, we understand what Land Park homeowners expect—quality work, fair pricing, no surprises.
Check your exposed pipes in the basement, crawl space, or near your water heater. Kitec pipes are usually marked with “Kitec” or “PlumbBetter” on the tubing itself, and they’re typically orange (for hot water) or blue (for cold water). The pipes are flexible plastic, not rigid copper.
If your home was built or renovated between 1995 and 2007, you’re in the risk window. Kitec was popular during that time because it was cheap and easy to install. Plenty of Land Park homes got updated with it during that period.
If you’re not sure, call us. We’ll come out, take a look, and tell you definitively whether you’ve got Kitec. No charge for that. It’s worth knowing, because if you do have it, the question isn’t if it’ll fail—it’s when.
You’re rolling the dice every single day. Kitec failures don’t announce themselves—you don’t get a slow leak that gives you time to call a plumber. The fittings corrode internally, weaken, and then burst. Suddenly you’ve got water flooding your home, and you’re scrambling to shut off the main line while your floors get destroyed.
Even if you haven’t had a catastrophic failure yet, you’re likely dealing with low water pressure as those fittings corrode and restrict flow. And you’re spending money on small repairs that don’t fix the underlying problem. Every patch job is just buying time.
Insurance is another issue. Some carriers won’t cover homes with known Kitec systems, and even if yours does now, they may deny claims for damage caused by defective materials. The class action settlement against the Kitec manufacturer ended years ago, so you’re on your own for the cost. Waiting doesn’t make it cheaper—it makes it riskier.
Most jobs take three to five days, depending on the size of your home and how your plumbing is laid out. We’re not there 24/7—we work during normal hours, and you can stay in your home the entire time. You’ll have water shut off periodically while we’re working on specific sections, but we coordinate that with you.
Single-story homes with accessible crawl spaces go faster. Two-story homes or homes with finished basements take a bit longer because we’re working around your living space. We don’t tear out entire walls—we make access points where we need them, do the work, and patch everything back up.
The finish work—drywall repair, texture, paint—is included in that timeline. When we’re done, your home looks normal again. You’re not waiting weeks for someone else to come close up the walls. We handle it start to finish so you can move on with your life.
For most one-to-three-bedroom homes in Land Park, you’re looking at $5,000 to $15,000 for a complete repipe, including materials, labor, and finish work. Larger homes or homes with complex layouts can run up to $30,000. It depends on how much pipe we’re replacing, how accessible it is, and what type of new piping you choose.
Copper costs more than PEX but lasts forever. PEX is more affordable and works great for most applications. We’ll walk you through the options and give you a free estimate based on your specific home—no guessing, no inflated numbers to negotiate down later.
Compare that to the cost of water damage from a burst pipe. You’re looking at $10,000 to $50,000 in repairs, depending on how bad the flooding is and how long it takes you to catch it. Plus the headache of dealing with insurance, moving out while repairs happen, and replacing everything that got ruined. Kitec replacement is cheaper than the alternative, and it’s a one-time fix.
You could, but you’d be wasting your money. The fittings are the main problem—they’re the parts that corrode and fail—but the pipe itself also degrades over time. If you replace just the fittings, you’re still left with old Kitec pipe that’s going to cause problems down the line.
More importantly, partial fixes don’t solve the insurance issue. If your carrier knows you have Kitec, they’re not going to care that you replaced some fittings. They want the whole system gone. And when you go to sell your home, buyers will see “Kitec” on the inspection report and either walk away or demand a full replacement before closing.
Do it once, do it right. A complete Kitec replacement in Land Park gives you a plumbing system you can trust for the next 30-plus years. Patching it together just kicks the problem down the road and costs you more in the long run.
Because we’ve been doing this for over 24 years, and we’re not going to jerk you around. We show up on time, we do the work we said we’d do, and we charge what we quoted—sometimes less. Our Google rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 93 reviews, and most of those reviews mention the same things: fast response, professional crew, fair pricing.
We’re a family-owned company, which means low overhead and no pressure to upsell you on things you don’t need. We offer free estimates, and we’ll tell you straight whether you actually need a full replacement or if there’s a simpler fix. If you do need Kitec replacement, we’ll map out the plan, give you a timeline, and stick to it.
We also offer 24/7 emergency service, so if you’ve got an active leak or a pipe that just burst, we’re available. Land Park homeowners call us because we’re local, we’re licensed and insured, and we’ve built a reputation on doing what we say we’re going to do. That’s it. No gimmicks.
