This video shows a real burst pipe in a Waikato home caused by Dux Quest (polybutylene) plumbing — a material widely installed in Hamilton and Waikato houses built in the 1970s and 1980s.
These pipes are now reaching end of life and are failing without warning.
When polybutylene pipe fails, it often results in: • Sudden pipe rupture • Internal flooding • Ceiling and wall damage • Electrical safety issues • Insurance complications
We are currently inspecting and replacing Dux Quest plumbing in Hamilton, Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Morrinsville, and surrounding Waikato areas.
Signs your home may be affected
✔ Black plastic water pipes ✔ “Dux” or “Polybutylene” printed on pipe ✔ Home built or renovated 1975–1989 ✔ Previous unexplained leaks or water damage
What CTS Waikato provides
✔ Plumbing inspections for high-risk pipe materials ✔ Clear identification and risk assessment ✔ Insurance-support documentation ✔ Full plumbing repipes using modern compliant materials
If your home is in the Waikato region and you’re unsure what piping is installed, early identification can prevent major water damage and costly repairs.

Renovation blowouts don’t “just happen.”
They’re caused by poor planning upfront.
At Combined Trade Services – CTS Waikato, we don’t estimate and hope for the best.
We define the scope properly, lock the price, and commit to it.
No vague allowances.
No mid-job surprises.
No awkward conversations halfway through.
If you value certainty, control, and getting it done right the first time — this will make sense immediately.
PS. If the price can change later, it was never fixed … See MoreSee Less
