Replacing Kitec Pipes

Sacramento homeowners with properties built between 1995 and 2007 may have Kitec plumbing, recognizable by its distinctive orange and blue pipes. This system was once popular but has proven problematic due to premature failures.

The primary issue lies in Kitec’s brass fittings, which contain excessive zinc. When water contacts these fittings, zinc leaches out over time, weakening the connections and leading to sudden, catastrophic failures. These failures typically cause significant flooding, property damage, and considerable stress for homeowners.

Even properly installed Kitec systems throughout Sacramento have experienced these failures due to the inherent material defect. Armstrong Plumbing specializes in comprehensive Kitec inspections, identification, and complete replacement using superior materials like copper and PEX. Our skilled technicians efficiently remove these problematic systems and install reliable alternatives, protecting your Sacramento home from unexpected plumbing disasters.

Sacramento Whole-Home Repiping

When multiple pipes in your Sacramento home show signs of deterioration, whole-home repiping provides the most comprehensive long-term solution. This complete system overhaul addresses widespread issues that spot repairs simply can’t solve.

Whole-home repiping is particularly recommended for Sacramento properties with:

  • Aging galvanized steel pipes (common in homes built before 1970)
  • Problematic polybutylene piping installed during the 1970s-1990s
  • Failing copper pipes damaged by aggressive water conditions
  • Homes with extensive leak history suggesting systemic pipe failure
  • Properties experiencing persistent water quality or pressure issues

Armstrong Plumbing’s whole-home repiping process replaces your entire interior plumbing system with high-quality materials chosen specifically for Sacramento’s water conditions. Our experienced technicians strategically access pipes through minimal wall openings, working efficiently to complete most residential projects within 3-5 days.

The result is a completely renewed plumbing system providing improved water pressure, enhanced water quality, elimination of leak concerns, and significantly increased home value. Contact Armstrong Plumbing today to learn how whole-home repiping can transform your Sacramento property’s plumbing performance.

Pipe Material Upgrades: Copper and PEX Repiping

When replacing your Sacramento home’s outdated or damaged plumbing, choosing the right replacement material makes all the difference in longevity and performance. Armstrong Plumbing specializes in both copper and PEX repiping solutions, expertly matched to your home’s specific needs.

Many Sacramento homeowners wait too long for repiping, ignoring warning signs until significant problems develop. Addressing these issues proactively with professional repiping prevents costly water damage, eliminates health concerns from contaminated water, and avoids the frustration of chronically low water pressure.

Our copper repiping solutions provide exceptional durability and natural antimicrobial properties, while our PEX installations offer flexibility, freeze resistance, and quieter operation. Both options dramatically improve water pressure, enhance water quality, and provide decades of reliable service. Depending on your Sacramento home’s size and layout, most repiping projects can be completed in just a few days, with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Common Repiping Issues in Sacramento

Repiping projects in Sacramento homes present several specific challenges our experienced team is prepared to address:
Aging Infrastructure: Many Sacramento neighborhoods feature homes built in the 1950s-1970s with original galvanized plumbing that’s reached the end of its functional lifespan.

  • Soil Conditions: Sacramento’s clay-heavy soil creates ground movement that can stress rigid plumbing systems over time, leading to leaks and failures.
  • Water Chemistry: Sacramento’s municipal water, while safe, contains minerals that can accelerate pipe corrosion in certain materials.
  • Limited Access Points: Older Sacramento homes often have pipes located in difficult-to-reach spaces requiring specialized techniques for replacement.
  • Historic Preservation: Homes in Sacramento’s historic districts require extra care during repiping to maintain architectural integrity while upgrading plumbing.

Armstrong Plumbing’s repiping specialists bring extensive experience with these Sacramento-specific challenges, developing customized approaches that address your home’s unique construction and plumbing configuration.

Frequently Asked Repiping Questions

How long does a whole-home repiping take in Sacramento?

Most Sacramento residential repiping projects take 3-5 days depending on your home’s size, layout, and plumbing complexity. Armstrong Plumbing’s efficient teams work systematically to minimize disruption, typically keeping water service available each evening. We create a detailed timeline during your initial consultation so you’ll know exactly what to expect throughout the process, including any necessary city inspections specific to Sacramento building requirements.

What materials do you recommend for repiping in Sacramento homes?

We recommend either copper or PEX for Sacramento repiping projects, depending on your specific needs and preferences. Copper offers exceptional durability and natural antimicrobial properties, making it ideal for main water lines. PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) provides flexibility, freeze resistance, and quieter operation, making it perfect for distribution lines throughout your home. During your consultation, our experts will help determine which material best suits your Sacramento home’s water conditions and your long-term plumbing goals.

Will repiping require damaging my walls and floors?

Armstrong Plumbing uses minimally invasive techniques that limit damage to your Sacramento home. We access pipes through strategically placed small openings rather than removing entire wall sections, and we utilize existing access points whenever possible. Some drywall openings are unavoidable, but we keep them minimal and provide professional patching to wall finish stage. You’ll only need to arrange for final paint touch-up after completion, saving significant time and expense compared to complete restoration.

How much does whole-home repiping cost in Sacramento?

Repiping costs for Sacramento homes typically range from $4,000-$15,000 depending on your home’s size, pipe accessibility, material choices, and whether any additional plumbing upgrades are included. Armstrong Plumbing provides detailed, transparent estimates after a thorough inspection of your specific situation. We also offer flexible financing options that make comprehensive repiping projects manageable for Sacramento homeowners while preventing costly emergency repairs and water damage in the future.

What improvements will I notice after repiping my Sacramento home?

After professional repiping, Sacramento homeowners typically experience significantly improved water pressure, elimination of water discoloration, enhanced water taste and quality, reduction in plumbing noise, lower water bills from eliminated leaks, and most importantly, peace of mind knowing your plumbing system is reliable. Many clients tell us they wish they’d completed the repiping years earlier after experiencing these substantial quality-of-life improvements in their daily water usage.

How does Sacramento's climate affect my plumbing pipes?

Sacramento’s seasonal temperature variations, particularly the hot summer months, can accelerate pipe deterioration in older systems. Expansion and contraction from temperature changes stress pipe connections, while Sacramento’s clay soil creates ground movement during seasonal wet/dry cycles that can damage underground lines. Additionally, the region’s moderately hard water can accelerate corrosion in certain pipe materials. Armstrong Plumbing considers these local factors when recommending replacement materials that will perform optimally in Sacramento’s specific climate conditions.
