If you have Kitec plumbing in your McClellan Park home, the question isn’t if it’ll fail. It’s when. These systems were installed between 1995 and 2007, and they’re failing at rates high enough that insurance companies won’t touch them.
The brass fittings corrode from the inside out. High zinc content breaks them down faster in homes with mineral-rich water or high pressure. You might see a small drip one day, then wake up to a burst pipe and thousands of gallons flooding your floors, walls, and foundation the next.
Replacing Kitec plumbing now means you’re not scrambling to find an emergency plumber at 2 a.m. while water pours into your living room. You’re not filing insurance claims that get denied because you knew the system was faulty. You’re not explaining to a buyer why your home still has a plumbing system that’s been the subject of class-action lawsuits.
You get reliable pipes that last decades. You protect your home’s value. You sleep better knowing your family isn’t one fitting failure away from a disaster.
We’ve been handling residential and commercial plumbing throughout Sacramento County since the beginning. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve replaced enough Kitec systems in McClellan Park and surrounding areas to know exactly what we’re walking into before we open your walls.
McClellan Park’s housing stock is a mix of older military-era construction and newer builds from the 2000s. Many of those newer homes were built right in the window when Kitec was being installed everywhere. We’ve worked in both and we understand how these systems were laid out in your neighborhood.
Our Google rating sits at 4.7 stars from 93 reviews because we show up when we say we will, we quote you a fair price upfront, and we don’t leave until the job’s done right. Some of our customers have told us the final bill came in lower than the estimate. That’s not a marketing gimmick. That’s just how we work.
First, we come out and assess your system. We’ll tell you where your Kitec lines run, what needs to be replaced, and what it’s going to cost. No vague estimates or surprise charges later.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we pull permits and schedule the work. Most Kitec pipe replacement jobs in McClellan Park take between two and five days depending on your home’s size and layout. You don’t need to move out. We work in sections to minimize disruption.
We remove every inch of Kitec pipe and fitting. Then we install new, code-compliant plumbing using materials that are built to last. Copper or PEX, depending on what makes sense for your home and budget.
After the plumbing’s in, we repair and paint the drywall we had to open. You’re not left staring at holes in your walls or hiring another contractor to finish the job. We handle it start to finish.
Final step is inspection. We make sure everything passes code, everything works, and you’re set for the next several decades without worrying about your pipes.

When we say full-service Kitec plumbing replacement, we mean it. You’re getting complete removal of all Kitec pipes and fittings throughout your home. Not a patch job. Not a “fix the worst parts and hope the rest holds.” Everything comes out.
We install new plumbing that meets current California code. We handle the permits, the inspections, and all the coordination so you don’t have to track down county offices or wonder if something was done right.
Drywall repair and paint are part of the package. We’re not leaving you with open walls and a mess to clean up. The job isn’t done until your home looks like we were never there, except now your plumbing actually works.
In McClellan Park, where home values and insurance coverage are directly affected by having Kitec, this isn’t just a plumbing upgrade. It’s protecting your investment. Homes with Kitec face higher insurance premiums, policy refusals, and complications during resale. Replacing it removes those obstacles entirely.
We also offer 24/7 emergency service. If your Kitec system fails before you’re able to schedule a full replacement, we’re available around the clock. Most calls in McClellan Park get a response within one to two hours.
For most homes in McClellan Park, you’re looking at somewhere between $5,000 and $15,000 depending on square footage and how much plumbing needs to be replaced. Smaller homes with simpler layouts fall on the lower end. Larger homes with multiple bathrooms and more complex pipe runs cost more.
That price includes removing all the old Kitec, installing new code-compliant plumbing, repairing drywall, and painting. It’s a complete job, not just the pipes.
We give you a detailed estimate upfront after we assess your home. No guessing, no “we’ll figure it out as we go.” You know what it costs before we start, and we don’t tack on surprise charges at the end. We also offer a 15% discount for new customers, which helps offset some of that cost.
Most Kitec replacement jobs take between two and five days. The timeline depends on your home’s size, how accessible your plumbing is, and whether we run into any surprises once we open things up.
You don’t need to leave your home during the work. We’ll section off areas as we go so you still have access to water and working bathrooms. There will be some noise and disruption, but we do everything we can to keep it manageable.
Once the plumbing’s done, we move into drywall repair and paint, which adds another day or two depending on how much we had to open up. Start to finish, you’re usually looking at less than a week before everything’s back to normal and you’ve got a plumbing system you can actually trust.
Probably not, but it depends on your policy. Most insurance companies won’t cover the cost of replacing Kitec as a preventive measure because they consider it a maintenance issue, not sudden damage.
If your Kitec system fails and causes water damage, your insurance might cover the damage to your home but not the cost of replacing the plumbing itself. And even that’s not guaranteed. Some insurers are denying claims outright if they find out you knew you had Kitec and didn’t replace it.
The bigger issue is that having Kitec in your home makes it harder to get coverage in the first place. Some companies charge higher premiums. Others refuse to insure homes with Kitec still installed. Replacing it removes that problem entirely and can actually lower your insurance costs going forward.
You’re gambling with your home. Kitec systems fail at a high enough rate that it’s not a matter of if, but when. The fittings corrode from the inside, and when they go, they go fast. You might get a small leak that gives you some warning, or you might get a full burst that floods your house in minutes.
Water damage from a failed Kitec system can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Floors, drywall, insulation, furniture, foundation damage—it adds up fast. And if your insurance company knows you had Kitec and didn’t replace it, they might deny your claim entirely.
Beyond the immediate risk, you’re also hurting your home’s value. Buyers don’t want to inherit a Kitec problem, and most won’t even make an offer if they find out it’s still in the house. If they do, they’ll either demand you replace it before closing or knock enough off the price to cover it themselves. Either way, you’re paying for it eventually.
You can, but it’s not a real solution. The fittings are the main failure point, but the pipes themselves also degrade over time. Replacing just the fittings might buy you a little time, but you’re still left with a system that’s going to fail.
More importantly, partial fixes don’t solve the insurance or resale problems. Your home still has Kitec in it, which means insurers will still treat it as high-risk and buyers will still walk away. You’ll end up spending money on a temporary patch and then paying for a full replacement later anyway.
If you’re going to open up walls and bring in a plumber, it makes more sense to do it once and do it right. Full replacement costs more upfront, but it’s the only way to actually eliminate the problem and protect your home long-term.
We’ve been doing this for over two decades, and we’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will, quoting fair prices, and finishing the job right. Our 4.7-star rating from 93 Google reviews backs that up.
We offer 24/7 emergency service, which matters if your Kitec system decides to fail at the worst possible time. Most calls in McClellan Park get a response within one to two hours. We’re local, we’re licensed and insured, and we know the housing stock in your area.
When we quote you a price for Kitec plumbing replacement in McClellan Park, CA, that’s what you pay. We include everything—removal, installation, drywall, paint, permits, inspections. You’re not getting nickel-and-dimed or surprised with extra charges.
