A Problem Every Kiwi Homeowner Knows
Black Dux Pipe Replacement & Repairs Auckland
Dux Quest plumbing was installed in thousands of NZ homes between the 1980s and early 2000s. This dux quest piping, also known as polybutylene pipe, is now infamous for sudden failures and leaks.
If your Auckland home has black dux pipe or black poly pipe installed, you may experience a polybutylene leak or pb pipe leak without warning. A black poly pipe leak can cause significant water damage before it’s even detected.
We specialise in dux quest leak repair and can assess your dux quest plumbing system’s condition. When repair isn’t viable, we provide dux pipe replacement services to replace dux plumbing with modern, reliable materials. Whenever leaks occur in this type of pipework it is best to replace the dux quest pipework with new as leaks will ovent reoccur.
Why Black Dux Fails
Brittle material prone to splitting
Weak joints and fittings
Poor resistance to NZ water pressures
Risks of Keeping Black Dux Pipe
Black Dux Quest is prone to leaking. Often once these leaks begin, they continue to cause ongoing issues. It is our professional opinion that this pipe be fully replaced to avoid costly and unnecessary damage to your property.
It is often more cost effective to carry out a full replacement than to have individual areas patched on multiple occasions. In addition, some insurers will only pay for damage caused by a single event – meaning subsequent leaks could be at your own expense.
Dux Quest was withdrawn from the market around 25 years ago and pre-dates the current New Zealand Building Code. Leaving it in place means you’re living with outdated, non-compliant pipework that will only get worse.
