REPLUMB & REPIPE SPECIALISTS
SERVING COLORADO & UTAH
Turnkey Replacement of Polybutylene, Kitec, & More
As replumb and repipe specialists since 1992, Replumb Specialties Inc. (RSI) is the leader in turnkey pipe replacement throughout Colorado and Utah. We repipe homes, apartment and multi-family buildings, condominium and townhome complexes, and hotels all over the midwest.
Pipe Replacement Process - What You Can Expect
RSI is the original pipe replacement full-service contractor for the Polybutylene Class-Action Settlement. The class-action lawsuit was closed in 2009. As a result, we developed and perfected the ‘containment process’ copied by most replumb contractors today. Work areas are masked and protected, furniture is covered and drywall penetrations are cut professionally with dust containment procedures and equipment.
All penetrations in drywall and tile are professionally repaired in the house and painted to match the existing paint.
Water is restored each of the first few evenings. Our repipe specialists are punctual, professional, and licensed. We do not use subcontractors and, we own and use vacuums (i.e., we clean up after ourselves.)
Replumbs & Repipes - It's All We Do
Replumbs and repipes are all we do. We do not engage in new construction or plumbing installations for big box stores. We’re not a ‘national’ company running ad campaigns to subcontract work to local plumbers. We are family-owned and operated. And, we believe replumbers and repipers are a special breed and perform a craft all its own. The same repipe specialist that cuts the drywall open and performs the Replumb, in most cases, is the same person that will perform the drywall repair. We are a tight-knit group of family men that have been doing this type of work since 1992. Realtors and home inspectors regularly refer us and account for 70% of our business.

PIPE PROBLEMS?
Your Solution For Turnkey Pipe Replacement Begins Here
A typical Polybutylene system is found in homes, hotels, multi-family housing, and mobile homes built between 1978 and 1996. Approximately 7 million installations of Polybutylene pipe occurred all across the United States. The pipe is extremely susceptible to degradation from chlorinated water. It shrinks and become brittle, and the crimp ring loses calibration over the pipe and the fitting.
Kitec was used in the early 2000’s as potable and Hydronic Heat Piping. Potable Kitec is typically red, blue, or orange – while Hydronic Heat Kitec is typically orange only. The brass compression and crimp fittings that connect Kitec piping contain high amounts of zinc. Because of this, they break down when exposed to water and oxygen.
The majority of corrosion in copper piping develops on the inner walls. The presence of oxidizing acids – heavy-metal salts, sulfur, and ammonia – and a number of sulfur and ammonia compounds can cause corrosion to set in. Corrosion eventually thins the copper enough to create pinhole leaks.
Galvanized pipe was manufactured and installed between 1880 and 1960, and is comprised of steel dipped in a coat of zinc. The zinc wears off, and the steel corrodes. Rust develops on the inner walls, and the water becomes contaminated / toxic. Rust can stain water and porcelain, and is NOT healthy for consumption.
Hydronic Heat systems have been installed using a number of failing systems – including Polybutylene, Kitec, Copper, Entran, and more. All of these systems have proven to fail. Our team has completed 2000+ successful Hydronic Heat pipe replacements. We’ve installed in-floor, staple-up, register based systems, & more.
