Hear from Our Customers
You’ve probably already heard the warnings about Kitec. Maybe your insurance company mentioned it during your last renewal. Maybe a home inspector flagged it. Maybe you’re trying to sell and buyers are backing out because of it.
Here’s what matters: Kitec systems fail. Not if, but when. The brass fittings corrode from the inside out, and when they go, they don’t just leak—they burst. We’re talking about flooding, drywall damage, ruined floors, and an insurance claim that might not even get approved if they knew you had Kitec all along.
Replacing Kitec pipes in Regency Park means you can actually sleep at night. No more wondering if today’s the day. No more explaining to buyers why it’s “probably fine.” No more paying higher premiums or dealing with coverage restrictions. You get a clean system, copper piping that lasts decades, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is protected.
Most repipes take one to two days. You’re not living in a construction zone for weeks. And when it’s done, it’s done right—with a lifetime warranty backing the work.
We’ve been serving El Dorado County since 2009, with over 24 years of plumbing experience. We’re licensed, insured, and we show up when we say we will. Our Google rating sits at 4.7 out of 5 stars across 93 reviews, and a lot of those mention the same things: we’re on time, we’re transparent about pricing, and we don’t upsell you on stuff you don’t need.
Regency Park homes were largely built in 2004, right in the middle of the Kitec installation window. That means a lot of properties in your neighborhood are dealing with the same issue. We’ve handled Kitec replacement contractor work throughout the Sacramento area, and we know what it takes to get the job done without tearing your house apart more than necessary.
You’re not getting a sales pitch. You’re getting a licensed professional who understands the urgency, the insurance implications, and how to repipe your home correctly the first time.
First, we come out and assess your system. We’ll locate where the Kitec runs, check access points, and give you a clear estimate. No surprises, no vague ranges. You’ll know what the job costs before we start.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule the work. Most Kitec plumbing replacement jobs in Regency Park take one to two days, depending on the size of your home and how accessible the pipes are. We shut off your water, remove the old Kitec system, and install new Type L copper piping—the kind that’s built to last.
We’re not just swapping pipes. We’re making sure everything is up to code, properly secured, and tested for leaks before we close up walls. You’ll have water back on as quickly as possible, and when we’re finished, you’ll have documentation for your insurance company, future buyers, or your own records.
Every repipe comes with a lifetime warranty. If something goes wrong with our work, we come back and fix it. That’s the deal.

When we replace Kitec pipes in Regency Park, you’re getting a full system upgrade. That means removing all the old Kitec—hot and cold lines—and installing USA-made Type L copper piping. Copper doesn’t corrode like Kitec brass fittings. It doesn’t degrade over time. It’s the standard for a reason.
We also handle the drywall and access work. If we need to open walls or ceilings to reach the pipes, we do it carefully, and we patch it back up when we’re done. You’re not left with gaping holes or a list of follow-up contractors to call.
Regency Park’s housing stock is mostly owner-occupied, and a lot of homeowners here are dealing with the same issue. If you’re planning to sell, replacing Kitec plumbing removes a major red flag for buyers and keeps your home value intact. If you’re staying put, it eliminates the risk of a catastrophic failure that could cost you tens of thousands in water damage.
You also get documentation that proves the work was done by a licensed contractor. That matters for insurance, for resale, and for your own peace of mind. And with our 24/7 emergency service, if something ever does go wrong, we’re available around the clock to handle it.
Most Kitec replacement jobs in Regency Park run between $5,000 and $15,000, depending on the size of your home, how much pipe needs to be replaced, and how accessible everything is. If we need to open up a lot of walls or floors to reach the piping, that adds to the cost. But you’ll know the full price before we start.
We don’t give you a lowball estimate and then tack on charges later. Our customers consistently mention that the final bill came in at or below what we originally quoted. That’s not an accident—it’s how we do business.
If your insurance company is already applying higher deductibles or coverage restrictions because of Kitec, replacing the system can actually save you money in the long run. You’re also avoiding the cost of a potential flood, which can easily run into the tens of thousands once you factor in water damage, mold remediation, and lost belongings.
Most residential Kitec pipe replacement projects take one to two days. The timeline depends on the size of your home and how the plumbing is laid out. If the pipes are easy to access, we move faster. If we’re dealing with tight crawl spaces or multiple stories, it takes a bit longer.
You won’t be without water for the entire job. We work in sections and restore service as quickly as possible. And we’re not leaving your house torn apart for weeks—we get in, do the work, and get out.
If you’re on a tight schedule or need the work done before a closing date, let us know upfront. We’ll do everything we can to accommodate your timeline. We’ve handled rush jobs before, and we understand that sometimes this isn’t something you can put off.
Most insurance policies won’t cover the cost of replacing Kitec as a preventive measure. They treat it like maintenance, not a covered loss. But if your Kitec system fails and causes water damage, your insurance might cover the damage—though many companies are now applying higher deductibles or excluding Kitec-related claims altogether.
That’s why waiting for a failure to happen is a gamble. If your insurer knows you have Kitec and you haven’t replaced it, they might deny the claim entirely. And even if they do cover it, you’re still dealing with the deductible, the damage, and the hassle of a major water event.
Some homeowners have been able to negotiate with their insurance companies or use funds from a home equity line to cover the replacement. It’s worth asking your agent what your policy says about Kitec. Either way, replacing it now gives you leverage and eliminates a known risk that’s only getting worse as the system ages.
Yes. California has strict disclosure requirements, and Kitec plumbing is considered a material defect. If you know it’s in your home and you don’t disclose it, you’re opening yourself up to legal liability after the sale. Buyers can come back and sue you for the cost of replacement and any damage that occurs.
Even if you’re not legally required to disclose it, a home inspector will find it. And once it’s flagged, buyers either walk away or demand a price reduction that’s often more than the cost of just replacing it yourself. You lose negotiating power, and the sale drags out or falls apart entirely.
Replacing Kitec pipes before you list your home removes the issue completely. You can market the property with confidence, and buyers won’t have a reason to lowball you or demand concessions. It’s a cleaner transaction, and it protects you from future claims.
Kitec pipes are usually marked with one of several brand names: Kitec, PlumbBetter, IPEX AQUA, WarmRite, Kitec XPA, AmbioComfort, or XPA. The pipes themselves are often blue (cold water) or orange (hot water), though sometimes they’re white or gray. The brass fittings are the real problem—they’re the parts that corrode and fail.
Check your water heater, under sinks, in your crawl space, or anywhere you can see exposed plumbing. If you’re not sure, call us. We can come out and identify whether you have Kitec and give you a clear answer. Most homes in Regency Park were built in 2004, which is right in the middle of the Kitec installation period, so there’s a decent chance it’s in your system if you haven’t already replaced it.
If you do have Kitec, don’t wait for it to fail. The longer it sits, the higher the risk. And once it goes, you’re dealing with an emergency repipe, water damage, and all the chaos that comes with it.
We’ve been doing this for over 24 years, and we’ve built a reputation on showing up, doing the work right, and charging what we said we’d charge. Our 4.7-star Google rating isn’t an accident—it’s the result of treating people fairly and standing behind our work.
When you call us for Kitec plumbing replacement in Regency Park, you’re getting a licensed, insured contractor who knows the local housing stock and understands the urgency. We’re available 24/7 for emergencies, and we offer a lifetime warranty on every repipe. If something goes wrong with our work, we come back and fix it. No runaround, no excuses.
You’re also getting transparent pricing. We don’t lowball you to win the job and then hit you with change orders. Our customers consistently say the final cost came in at or below the estimate. That’s how we operate. You deserve to know what you’re paying for, and you deserve a contractor who respects your time and your home.
