OCT 27, 2017

This is a reader's digest version of an information website called kiteccrusader.ca regarding defective kitec plumbing products. Kitec is a flexible, plastic-wrapped aluminum pipe with brass fittings and can be easily identified by its bright color. Some popular brands for Kitec pipes are: Kitec, PlumbBetter, IPEX AQUA, Warm Rite, Kitec XPA, AmbioComfort, XPA, KERR, Controls, and Plomberie Amelioree, etc.

It was estimated that a quarter of condos built between 1995 and 2007 used Kitec plumbing and many new condo owners are coming to grips with an unforeseen and costly crisis looming behind the walls. The Kitech plumbing is a major issue because it is not a question of if it will fail but when. With staggering repair price of $5,000-$10,000 per unit, many are scrambling to find the money for the repairs or fear that they might not be able to keep insurance policies and resale values in When buying and selling a condo or house, some are scared by the potential increase in maintenance fees due to replacements in the future. While other replacement fee concerns will fall on the owner entirely since the piping system falls inside the house. Resale values may also decrease when buyers attempt to use the Kitec as a bargaining chip in negotiations when they see your Status Certificate.
