Hamilton Kitec Plumbing Replacement

If you suspect your Hamilton home might be fitted with aging Kitec plumbing, there are several warning signs that could indicate hidden problems within your walls or beneath your floors. Kitec was once promoted as a reliable piping option, but has since proven to be prone to failure over time.

Look for the following clues that your plumbing system may be at risk:

• Orange or blue plastic piping stamped with the words “Kitec,” “KTC,” or “IPEX”
• Corroded metal connections or a flaky white buildup near pipe fittings
• Unexpected drops in water pressure or irregular water flow at taps
• Discoloured water or the presence of black or rust-coloured flakes
• Unusual noises in your plumbing, including clanging, vibrations, or high-pitched squeals
• Moisture or wet patches forming around ceilings, baseboards, or drywall, often followed by mold growth
• Homes built or upgraded between 1995 and 2007 often contain Kitec systems
• Insurance providers noting exclusions or concerns related to Kitec plumbing

Letting these issues persist can result in major leaks, property damage, and rising insurance costs. The sooner you act, the more you can save on repairs and replacements down the road. Kitec piping has been linked to multiple home insurance complications and costly remediation work.

At The Super Plumber, we deliver a streamlined, professional process to fully replace outdated Kitec piping in Hamilton homes. Our proven, step-by-step approach ensures minimal disruption while upgrading your plumbing with safe, long-lasting materials that meet modern standards.

Step 1: Comprehensive In-Home Inspection and Pipe Identification

We start with a meticulous inspection of your residence, focusing on areas where Kitec is commonly installed—under bathroom vanities, around water tanks, behind toilets, inside ceilings, and within wall cavities. Using high-precision detection equipment, we locate visible and concealed Kitec lines.

Each discovery is logged carefully, including fittings, shut-off valves, and other vulnerable components, to guarantee that nothing is overlooked during the replacement process.

Step 2: Tailored Replacement Blueprint for Your Property

After assessing your plumbing layout, we create a custom replacement plan that aligns with your home’s structure and daily water usage. This includes determining optimal entry points, selecting the best-suited material (copper or PEX), and coordinating a practical installation timeline.

We also account for aesthetic concerns by planning to minimize the visual footprint of our work, especially around high-traffic or visible areas.

Step 3: Pre-Work Site Preparation and Protection Measures

Before the physical work begins, our team takes protective steps to prepare your space. Furniture and valuables are either moved or carefully shielded, while drop sheets and runners are placed along high-use areas to avoid wear or damage.

We coordinate scheduled water shut-off times that work for you, so daily routines face minimal inconvenience. This attention to detail keeps your home clean and safe during the entire replacement process.

Step 4: Full Removal of Kitec Piping and Brass Fittings

Our trained plumbing specialists proceed with the extraction of all Kitec materials, including fittings and connectors. This phase is handled with precision to avoid accidental damage to drywall, flooring, or framing.

Disposal of the old piping is carried out responsibly, following eco-friendly disposal practices. We ensure every piece is safely removed and properly discarded.

Step 5: Expert Installation of Modern Plumbing Systems

We replace outdated lines with durable, high-performance PEX or copper pipes, depending on your preference. Every segment is installed to meet Hamilton’s municipal plumbing regulations and building codes.

Each connection and joint is pressure-tested and reinforced, guaranteeing your new plumbing operates efficiently and withstands long-term use without leaks or faults.

Step 6: Final System Check and Property Restoration

Once installation is complete, we perform a full system test—checking every fixture for correct flow, pressure balance, and temperature control. Any access points made during the job are sealed or patched to restore your home’s appearance.

We finish with a thorough cleanup, leaving your home neat and presentable. You’ll receive a complete walk-through of the work performed and have the opportunity to ask questions or request follow-up support.

We aim to make every plumbing upgrade in Hamilton hassle-free, transparent, and built to last. With The Super Plumber, you can trust that your Kitec replacement will be handled with professionalism and precision.
