Every Kitec fitting comes out and gets replaced with copper or PEX-A. That is the only fix that actually ends the problem.
Inspectors mis-flag it. We verify the pipe and fittings before a word about repiping.
We read the fittings and your situation, then tell you straight. Sometimes the answer is wait.
Two real numbers on your home, quoted straight - not a single take-it-or-leave-it figure.
There is no partial fix for Kitec. Every brass fitting in the house is dezincifying on the same clock, so replacing one leaves you with the rest. A whole-house repipe removes all of it and puts in a system that will outlast the house.
That is the flat truth, and it is why spot repairs on Kitec are a stall, not a solution. More on that in our page on what to do when a Kitec fitting fails.
It means every supply line – hot and cold, every fixture, the water heater connections, hose bibs, everything downstream of the meter that is currently Kitec. We do not leave a section in the walls because it was hard to reach. Leaving any Kitec in place leaves the failure risk in place.
Both are correct choices. They fail differently and they price differently.
We do not push one over the other for margin. We match it to your house, your water heater setup, and your budget. The full breakdown lives in PEX vs copper for a Vegas repipe.
People picture the whole house torn open. It is less than that.
We open small, targeted holes in drywall where the new lines need to route and where fittings land. We run the new system, pressure test it, then patch. We do not gut walls. A clean crew leaves you with a handful of drywall patches to paint, not a construction zone.
A single-story Vegas home is often a one to two day job. A two-story with a complex layout runs two to four. You lose water for parts of those days, not the whole time. We stage it so a bathroom and the kitchen come back online as fast as possible.
A repipe is permitted work in Clark County. The permit runs around 60 dollars and the job gets inspected. We pull it, we schedule it, and you get paperwork showing the Kitec is gone and the new system passed. That paper matters later, especially at resale or with an insurer.
You will have crew in your house for a day or two. There will be dust despite the plastic. Water goes on and off. It is not nothing, and nobody enjoys it. But it is finite, and when it is over the problem is over for good. That is the trade a repipe makes: two hard days against a wall leak you never have to fear again.
A 2004 Del Webb single-story in the northwest valley, original Kitec, owner repiping proactively before a fitting let go. We ran PEX-A, opened maybe a dozen small access points, tested, and had water fully restored by the end of the second day. Drywall patches were the only trace left. The owner never had the 2am leak the neighbors did.
Every Kitec fitting out of the walls. A copper or PEX-A system installed by licensed and insured Nevada plumbers, permitted and inspected. Documentation you can hand a buyer or an insurance company. And the end of checking the ceiling every time you hear a drip.
