Kitec Replacement

The Kitec problem

Kitec, a plumbing used in homes from 1995 to 2007, faced recalls around 2005 due to rapid deterioration, causing leaks and floods. Its unpredictability led to home insurance issues, and since Kitec stopped production, even small repairs are challenging due to unavailability of parts, necessitating replacements.

How do I know if I have Kitec in my home?

Inspect under sinks, behind the washing machine, or near the hot water tank for Kitec plumbing. Look for bright blue pipes for cold water and red/orange for hot water. 

Kitec plumbing is also labeled with one of the following names: Kitec, Kitec XPA, XPA, IPEX, AQUA, PlumbBetter, WarmRite, AmbioComfort, KERR Controls or Plomberie Améliorée.

Repairs After Plumbing

Experienced tilers, tapers and painters will repair the walls and tiles in each area of your home right after the plumbers' work is complete.

We use colour-matching technology to ensure that the paint finish after repairs is the exact same as before.

Final Cleaning After Kitec Replacement

Upon request, we can also offer Engineer Certificates from an independent engineering firm.

Testimonials

Tyler & Candice

"Communication with you was responsive and professional. You were excellent to deal with. I inspected the unit and it looked great. Our tenant said the workers were tidy and cleaned up very well."

Owner at 65 Port St East

"Wanted to let you know how WONDERFUL George and his crew have been. It was a positive experience: workers were on time, polite, neat. He kept the operation running efficiently. One of our neighbours used B'Tek also and was equally pleased."

"My Kitec replacement work was completed and I am very satisfied with the work. The job that they provided is really well done. I would highly recommend them as they are professional contractors and did everything as promised. They gave me the best price. Almost impossible to notice where walls were repaired."

"Further to my earlier post about B-Tek replacing my Kitec plumbing... they did it this past weekend, tood 2.5 days to complete... My place looks like they were never there. The entire time the plumbers or repairmen were there, George Kruja stayed with them and oversaw the entire project. So much care was taken... I was thoroughly impressed with everything. My place did not look like a construction zone. I highly recommend B-Tek Refurbishment for your replacement. They were awesome from their estimate appointment to their quote, to the work done."
