If your Natomas Park home was built between 2000 and 2009, there’s a good chance you have Kitec plumbing. The brass fittings corrode from the inside. The pipes become brittle. You might notice dropping water pressure or a metallic taste, but most homeowners don’t get any warning before a fitting blows and floods their house.
Kitec replacement in Natomas Park isn’t about fixing a small leak. It’s about removing a system that was recalled in 2005 and has been failing in homes ever since. The class action settlement ended in 2020, so you’re covering the cost either way—before it fails or after it destroys your floors, walls, and belongings.
When we replace Kitec pipes in Natomas Park, CA, you get a complete copper system that won’t corrode, won’t burst without warning, and won’t complicate your homeowner’s insurance. You also get your water pressure back, better water quality, and the ability to sell your home without scaring off buyers or tanking your offer.
Murray Plumbing has been handling emergency plumbing and full repiping jobs across Northern California since the late ’90s. We’ve seen what happens when Kitec systems fail in Natomas Park homes, and we’ve replaced enough of them to know exactly what your house needs.
We’re not the cheapest option, and we won’t tell you that you are. What we will do is show up on time, give you a transparent estimate, and finish the job in a few days without tearing your house apart. Our pricing is fair, our work is clean, and we’re available 24/7 if something goes wrong before we can get your system replaced.
You’re not hiring a salesperson. You’re hiring a licensed plumber who knows how to repipe a Natomas Park home correctly the first time.
We start with a free estimate. We’ll walk through your home, identify where the Kitec runs, and give you a clear price based on your square footage and how many fixtures need new supply lines. No surprises, no upselling.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule the work around your life. Most Kitec plumbing replacement jobs in Natomas Park take two to four days depending on the size of your home. We remove all the old Kitec pipe and fittings, run new copper lines through your walls and attic, and connect everything to your water heater, sinks, toilets, and appliances.
You can stay in your home during the work. We’ll need to shut off your water for portions of each day, but we coordinate with you so you’re not left without water overnight. Once the new system is in and tested, we patch any access holes, clean up, and walk you through what we did. You’ll have a reliable plumbing system and documentation you can show your insurance company or future buyers.

When we replace Kitec pipes in Natomas Park, CA, we’re removing every inch of the old system. That means all the orange and blue PEX-AL-PEX pipe, every brass fitting, and any connectors that were part of the original install. We don’t leave sections behind because the fittings are the main failure point, and you can’t mix old Kitec with new copper.
We install Type L copper pipe for all your hot and cold water lines. Copper doesn’t degrade, doesn’t leach chemicals, and handles Natomas Park’s hard water without the same corrosion issues you see in Kitec fittings. We also replace any shut-off valves, hose bibs, and supply lines that were connected to the old system.
Natomas Park homes built in the early 2000s often have Kitec running through the attic and inside interior walls. We use existing access points wherever possible and only cut new holes when necessary. Any drywall we remove gets patched and textured to match your walls. You’re not left with a mess or a list of things you need to hire someone else to finish.
Most Kitec plumbing replacement jobs in Natomas Park run between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on your home’s size and how your plumbing is configured. A 1,500-square-foot home with straightforward access will cost less than a 3,000-square-foot two-story with complex layouts.
We give you a free estimate before any work starts, and the final price is usually close to what we quoted. We don’t charge by the hour or add fees for things we should have anticipated. If we run into something unexpected—like concealed damage from an old leak—we’ll talk to you before doing extra work.
Financing is available if you need to spread out the cost. Replacing your Kitec system now costs less than dealing with water damage, insurance claims, and emergency repairs after a pipe bursts in your walls.
Most homes take two to four days. Smaller homes with simple plumbing might be done in two days. Larger homes or properties with Kitec running through hard-to-reach areas can take four or five days.
We work full days and keep the job moving so you’re not living in a construction zone for weeks. You’ll have water shut off during portions of the day while we’re connecting new lines, but we make sure you have water back on before we leave each evening.
The timeline also depends on how much drywall we need to open. If your Kitec is mostly in the attic and crawl space, the work goes faster. If it’s buried in walls, we need extra time to access it, replace it, and patch everything back up.
You can, but it’s not a long-term solution. Kitec fittings fail because of a chemical reaction between the brass and the water. Once one fitting starts leaking, the others are on the same timeline.
We’ve seen homeowners spend $500 to fix a leaking fitting, then have another one fail six months later. After two or three repairs, you’ve spent thousands of dollars and you still have a failing system. Insurance companies know this, which is why some won’t cover Kitec-related water damage or they’ll increase your deductible if you file a claim.
Replacing the entire system removes the risk. You’re not waiting for the next failure or dealing with water damage in your walls. If you’re planning to stay in your Natomas Park home for more than a couple years, replacement makes more financial sense than patching leaks as they happen.
Yes, in a good way. Homes with Kitec are harder to sell because buyers either walk away or ask for a price reduction to cover the cost of replacement. Appraisers and inspectors flag it, and lenders sometimes require it to be replaced before closing.
When you replace Kitec pipes in Natomas Park, CA, you remove a major liability from your property. Buyers don’t have to worry about inheriting a plumbing system that could fail, and you don’t have to negotiate tens of thousands of dollars off your asking price.
You also improve your home’s functionality. Better water pressure, cleaner water, and no risk of a burst pipe flooding your house all make your property more attractive. If you’re planning to sell in the next few years, replacing your Kitec now protects your equity and speeds up the sale process.
Shut off your main water supply immediately. Kitec leaks can turn into full blowouts fast, especially if a fitting fails. Once the water is off, call us for emergency service.
We’re available 24/7 for situations like this. We can temporarily repair the leak to stop the water damage, but you’ll need to schedule a full Kitec replacement as soon as possible. Temporary fixes buy you time, but they don’t fix the underlying problem.
If the leak has already caused damage to your drywall, flooring, or belongings, document everything with photos before you start cleanup. You’ll need that for your insurance claim. We can also provide documentation showing that the damage was caused by a Kitec failure, which helps when you’re dealing with your insurance company.
We offer 24/7 emergency plumbing service, which includes temporary repairs if your Kitec system fails. Full replacement isn’t something we can do overnight, but we can stop the leak, assess the damage, and get you scheduled for a complete Kitec plumbing replacement in Natomas Park within a few days.
If you call us because a pipe burst, we’ll stabilize the situation first. Then we’ll walk you through what needs to happen next, give you a timeline, and coordinate with your insurance company if needed.
Even if your Kitec isn’t leaking yet, you can call us anytime to schedule an inspection and get an estimate. Most homeowners feel better once they have a plan in place and know what the replacement will cost. You don’t have to wait for an emergency to get the process started.
