Certified Kitec Pipe Removal & Replacement
Kitec systems were widely installed from the late 1990s to early 2000s. Today, many insurers and condo boards require Kitec piping replacement to limit risk from premature failures, sudden leaks, and corrosion at brass unions. POM Plumbing provides professional Kitec pipe removal and end-to-end planning so your home or suite is safe, compliant, and ready for sale or refinancing.
Our licensed team coordinates access, protects finishes, and communicates with property management when needed. You’ll get clear scope, precise timelines, and meticulous clean-up—no guesswork.
Kitec Plumbing Replacement Toronto — What You Get
Homeowners call us for a turnkey solution: assessment, material selection, routing plan, drywall repair, trim re-set, and a final inspection. Whether you’re replacing Kitec plumbing in a detached home or a downtown suite, we manage entry, shut-offs, and staging so neighbors aren’t disturbed and common elements remain spotless.
What’s included: new PEX-a/Type L copper (as specified), approved valves and terminations, pressure test, photo log, and a letter of completion for your records.
Kitec Replacement Toronto — Why It Matters
Kitec failure modes often start at fittings and high-temperature zones (near mechanical rooms, boiler connections, or mixing valves). Proactive Kitec replacement reduces liability, helps with insurance, and protects finishes you’ve invested in—flooring, millwork, and painted surfaces. If you’re planning renovations, replacing the system first prevents opening newly finished walls later.
Kitec Plumbing Identification and Inspection
Before reviewing the indicators below, note that any visible deterioration calls for a professional evaluation. Identifying these issues early is key to protecting your property and avoiding sudden leaks. If your home also contains older metal supply lines, our lead pipe replacement service covers that alongside a full plumbing assessment.
Critical signs to look for:
- Visual Markings: Orange/blue tubing or brass unions stamped with “Kitec,” “KT,” or “KTC”.
- System Performance: Drops in pressure on hot circuits or temperature fluctuations at fixtures.
- Physical Corrosion: Visible oxidation on unions, especially at elbows and near mechanical equipment.
Regulatory Notices: Official communications from insurers, lenders, or condo boards requiring professional Kitec pipe removal.
What Affects Kitec Plumbing Replacement Cost
Budgets must be predictable. Kitec plumbing replacement cost depends on fixture count, access (in-suite ceilings, shafts), finished surfaces, and board rules in multi-unit buildings. For transparency we break the job into stages—routing, fixture tie-ins, selective patching—and price each component so you can prioritize.

The Professional Kitec Plumbing Replacement Proces
We’ve refined a step-by-step approach that keeps your home livable and tidy throughout the process.
- Comprehensive System Identification Our licensed technicians examine visible components under sinks, near water heaters, and in utility areas. We map plumbing runs inside walls and ceilings to confirm the full scope of work.
- Custom Replacement Strategy We develop a tailored plan for your home’s layout, detailing exactly which areas need access, the specific materials to be used (PEX or copper), and a realistic timeline for completion.
- Home Protection & Containment Furniture and belongings are carefully covered or relocated. We establish clear pathways and set up dust containment measures, coordinating water shut-off timing to minimize disruption.
- Professional Kitec Pipe Removal Technicians carefully extract old components, making only the necessary access points. All removed materials are disposed of according to local Toronto regulations, leaving your home clutter-free.
- High-Quality System Installation We install new, code-compliant piping integrated with your home’s existing infrastructure. Our focus is on long-term reliability, ensuring all connections are properly secured and tested.
- Flow Testing & Area Restoration We check every water outlet and appliance to confirm perfect operation. Once the new system is verified, we restore any accessed areas of your home, providing a completion letter for your records.
Materials, Fittings, and Project Coordination
Even when tubing appears intact, brass unions remain the most common failure point in aging Kitec systems. Our professional Kitec pipe removal process eliminates stressed fittings, mixed-metal contact, and deteriorating components — replacing them with modern unions, dielectric transitions where required, and valves that maintain stable flow and temperature. All materials meet current Ontario code and manufacturer specifications.
For multi-unit buildings, we coordinate the full logistics: booking elevators, laying corridor protection, and confirming shut-off windows in writing with building management. Owners working to realtor timelines can expect noisy tasks to be scheduled early, with low-impact finishing work last so the suite is ready for photos and showings.
Budget Clarity for Kitec Plumbing Replacement
To keep estimates transparent, we provide a line-by-line quote that matches your layout and finish level. That way, Kitec plumbing replacement decisions—routing behind cabinets, ceiling vs. wall access, patch priority—can be weighed against timeline and resale plans.
Optional Upgrades You May Consider
Before the list, here are common add-ons owners request during a full system swap:
- Fixture refresh at sinks and showers (trim and cartridges)
- Main shut-off and PRV replacement if aging or non-compliant

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
LIDIA PASNIK
We got drain clogged in the kitchen sink. I found POM Group on google and call them. They said plumber will come within an hour. When he arrived and checked our kitchen sink drain he said that it all rusted out and needs to be replaced. After plumber cleared drain he replaced all necessary parts of drain. Everything was done professional and clean.
I would like to say thank you to POM Group for responding so quick to our problem.

We are pleased to place the first review for the POM Group! We were doing a big project in our house involving basement waterproofing, installation of sump pump and also installation of back water valve on our main line as our neighbors were suffered from sewer back up several years ago and wanted to make sure that our house is protected from all of these disasters.
We were asking multiple companies to come to our house and investigate what would be the best solutions for our particular case. When POM Group representative arrived the filling that finally right person is here appeared from very first moment
