Kitec Pipe Replacement
What is Kitec?
The piping of your Toronto house or condo might be Kitec if it was built or renovated between 1995-2007. One way to check is to inspect piping under your bathroom or kitchen sink. The pipe itself may be marked Kitec or fitting rings might be marked XPA. Some believe Kitec piping lifespan is about 15 years while others believe it is closer to 10 years. It is believed that the fittings contain high levels of zinc which corrodes and breaks down causing leaks and water damage.
ABM Plumbing & Heating Services Inc. will do the complete replacement of Kitec, paint match, paint, tile repairs and do a basic clean up after work has been completed. We replace the Kitec piping with Uponor tubing which is a leading product in the plumbing industry.
Additionally to the Kitec piping found in the industry, there are actually 10 different types of brand names that could be found in the field that are plagued by the same problems.
The estimated cost to replace Kitec piping (including drywall & tile repairs) ranges from $4,500.00 to $7,500.00.
