Blocked DrainsVerified

Cleared a stubborn root blockage in under an hour

Terry arrived within 45 minutes of my call. He used the CCTV camera to find a tree root that had cracked the pipe, then water-jetted the whole line clean. No mess, no fuss — and he showed me the before-and-after footage on his tablet. Absolutely brilliant service.

Problem

Tree root had cracked the main sewer pipe, causing a complete blockage

Solution

CCTV inspection to locate the root intrusion, followed by high-pressure water jetting to clear the line

Burst pipe at 11pm — Terry was here by midnight

Water was pouring through the ceiling from a burst pipe in the wall. Called Master Blasta at 11pm and Terry was on-site by midnight. He isolated the leak, replaced the damaged section and had everything dried out before 2am. Saved my floors and my sanity.

Hot Water SystemsVerified

New heat pump hot water installed in one day

Our old electric storage system finally gave up. Terry recommended a Sanden heat pump and had it installed the next morning. The difference in our power bills has been remarkable — down about 70% on hot water costs. Highly recommend the upgrade.

Ageing 250L electric storage system failed, leaving the household without hot water

Gas FittingVerified

Gas line run for new outdoor kitchen — perfect job

Needed a new gas line run from the meter to the back deck for an outdoor kitchen setup. Terry quoted fairly, turned up on time and did a neat, compliant installation. Pressure-tested everything and left the site spotless. Will use again for the bathroom reno.

Problem

No gas supply to the outdoor entertaining area for a new kitchen build

Leak DetectionVerified

Found a hidden slab leak without tearing up the floor

My water bill had doubled but I couldn't see any obvious leak. Terry used acoustic detection equipment and pinpointed a slab leak under the laundry in about 20 minutes. Minimal concrete cutting, pipe repaired and re-tested the same day. Saved me thousands compared to what I'd been quoted elsewhere.

Problem

Water bill doubled with no visible leak — suspected slab leak under the laundry floor

Solution

Acoustic leak detection pinpointed the exact location; minimal concrete cutting, pipe repaired and pressure-tested

Blocked DrainsVerified

Kitchen drain cleared fast — great communication

Blocked kitchen sink on a Friday afternoon. Terry was there within two hours, cleared the grease blockage with the water jet and checked the rest of the line while he was at it. Friendly, professional and didn't try to upsell me on anything I didn't need.

Problem

Kitchen sink completely blocked on a Friday afternoon — grease build-up over several years

Solution

High-pressure water jetting cleared the grease blockage; full line CCTV check confirmed no further issues

Resolved in45 minutes

Sewage backup sorted before it became a disaster

Same-day hot water replacement — no cold showers

Alstonville
Blocked DrainsVerified

Stormwater drain cleared before the wet season

Had a stormwater drain that had been partially blocked for years. Terry water-jetted the whole run and used the camera to find a collapsed section we didn't know about. He repaired it on the spot. Great to have it sorted before the summer rains.

Problem

Partially blocked stormwater drain with a hidden collapsed section causing slow drainage

Solution

Full water jetting of the stormwater run, CCTV found collapsed section which was excavated and repaired same day

Leak DetectionVerified

Thermal imaging found a leak inside the wall

I could hear water running but couldn't find where it was coming from. Terry used thermal imaging and found a pinhole leak inside the bathroom wall. He opened a small access panel, repaired the pipe and patched the wall. No major demolition needed — I was so relieved.

Problem

Audible water running inside the bathroom wall with no visible source — suspected pinhole leak

Solution

Thermal imaging camera located the pinhole leak precisely; small access panel cut, pipe repaired, wall patched
