Your Local Kitec Replacement Plumbers

At PlumbWize, we offer a combination of top-notch plumbing services at affordable, upfront prices. Our team brings years of expertise and skill to help fix your most urgent plumbing problems and needs, such as Kitec plumbing replacement.

If your home was built or renovated between 1995 and 2007, it may contain Kitec plumbing systems. Easily identified by its orange and blue pipes and brass fittings, Kitec pipes were marketed as an alternative to copper piping. Today, this type of plumbing system is known for its failure rate, low heat resistance, high risk of leaks, poor water pressure, and even flooding in many homes.

Kitec plumbing systems were the subject of a class action lawsuit in 2011 due to their widespread defects and failure risks, making proactive replacement a smart move. Our preventative Kitec pipe replacement service helps homeowners and businesses upgrade to reliable, long-lasting plumbing systems before burst pipes become a reality.

      FAQs

      What is Kitec plumbing, and why does it need to be replaced?

      +

      Kitec is a brand of flexible piping installed in many Ontario homes and condos between 1995 and 2007. The pipe system was found to degrade prematurely, causing fitting failures, leaks, and low water pressure over time. Kitec is no longer manufactured and cannot be repaired. It must be replaced to prevent pipe failure and potential water damage to your property.

      How much does Kitec plumbing replacement cost in Ontario?

      +

      Kitec replacement costs vary based on the size of your home, the number of fixtures, and the extent of access required to reach the piping. PlumbWize provides a full assessment and an upfront quote before any work begins, with no hidden fees or surprises after the job is done. Contact us to schedule an inspection, and we will give you a clear, itemized estimate for your property.

      How do I know if my home has Kitec plumbing?

      +

      Kitec pipes are typically orange or blue in colour, with brass fittings stamped with "Kitec," "KTC," "IPEX," or "PERT/AL/PERT." They are most commonly found in homes and condos built or renovated between 1995 and 2007, particularly in Ontario. If you are unsure, PlumbWize can inspect your plumbing system and confirm whether Kitec is present before you decide on the next steps.

      Can Kitec plumbing be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?

      +

      Kitec cannot be repaired in the conventional sense. The fitting failures that cause leaks are a systemic problem with the pipe material itself, not isolated damage. Patching individual joints provides only a temporary fix and does not address the underlying risk to the rest of the system. Full replacement with code-compliant materials is the only long-term solution.

      How urgent is Kitec pipe replacement? Can it wait?

      +

      Kitec fittings can fail without warning, and the risk increases as the system ages. If you have already noticed reduced water pressure, discolouration, or minor leaks, those are signs that the system is degrading. We recommend scheduling an inspection as soon as possible rather than waiting for a failure, as pipe failures typically cause greater property damage and are more costly to address after the fact.

      Is Kitec plumbing replacement covered by home insurance in Ontario?

      +

      Home insurance policies vary, and whether coverage applies depends on your specific insurer and policy terms. Some insurers have excluded Kitec-related claims or require disclosure of Kitec systems at renewal. A number of Ontario homeowners have pursued coverage through the historical Kitec class action settlement. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly. PlumbWize can provide documentation of the scope of work to support any insurance inquiries.

      What does the Kitec pipe replacement process involve?

      +

      PlumbWize handles the full replacement process: initial inspection and system mapping, removal of existing Kitec piping and fittings, installation of new code-compliant materials, pressure testing, and restoration of access points. We provide a full upfront quote covering all labour and materials before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect in terms of scope and cost.
