Issues with Kitec Plumbing

Your old Kitec plumbing systems generally utilize the hot water tank as your home heating source and a circulator which pumps heated potable water to each of the wall heaters.

Here are some problems associated with this kind of system:

• Such method heats water inefficiently
• Poor efficiency means greater energy cost
• Bacterial growth in the pipes can cause possible health issues such as illness caused by Legionella

Solutions We Offer

Our expert plumbers at Northwest Mechanical, Inc. can install a heat exchanger or upgrade your home’s plumbing to a boiler system to separate the potable water from the heating water. We have professionally replaced over 150 failing Kitec systems in the Seattle area with new PEX tubing, a system that solves the issue of bacterial growth and water contamination.

The only reliable way to solve the risk of water damage in your home is to re-pipe the Kitec with new piping. This is an extensive re-piping, which includes sheetrock repair, but in the end, it will prevent major damages and costs. Our staff will coordinate the whole job for a guaranteed, “better-than-new,” worry-free replacement.
