Do This First
Plumbing emergency happening now? Start here:
- Water that won't stop: shut the main tap at the water meter, then ring (07) 3067 4276.
- Gas you can smell: get everyone outside and call from there. Leave switches alone and keep flames away.
- A dripping tap or a sluggish drain: this can normally wait for a booked time. Ring (07) 3067 4276 to book one.
- After dark, on a weekend or a public holiday: we're available 24/7, 7 days a week, with no extra fee for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Pick Your Problem
Four pages, four situations, each written for what is actually happening at your place:
Burst pipes
- water where it should not be, right now: start at burst pipes.
Toilet overflowing
- a pan rising or sewage on the floor: see toilet overflowing.
No hot water
- cold showers tonight or a tank weeping through the ceiling: read no hot water.
Gas leaks
- a smell of gas indoors, outside or at the bottle: go to gas leaks.
Urgent but not on that list? General plumbing and drainage hold the jobs that can usually wait for a booked visit.
Why Cashmere Emergencies Sit Different
This suburb is acreage and hillsides, not flat estate streets, and its emergencies behave accordingly.
Long blocks
On a typical rural-residential property here, the meter tap may sit far from the hot water tank, so shutting down a failed unit involves walking, not flipping a switch.
Creek crossings
Ira Buckby Road West and Centre Road pass through high-risk flood hazard ground, so a big storm can close the way in as well as swamp the drains.
Wet slopes
Once rain soaks these hillsides, on-site absorption trenches can fail, letting effluent run down the slope below the house or rise through the lowest indoor drain.
None of that makes the emergency worse forever. It just means the make-safe steps and knowing your shut-offs matter more here than on a small flat block.
What Counts as Urgent
Not every plumbing problem needs a call the moment you notice it, and sorting the two saves stress and money.
Ring now
water you cannot shut off, any gas smell, sewage inside the house, or a hot water leak running toward a ceiling or power.
Ring early
a unit that has stopped heating but is not leaking, a toilet that will not flush and is the only one, or a burst line you have already isolated.
Book it
a dripping tap, one slow drain among several, or anything you can shut off and walk away from.
Each symptom page walks its own make-safe moves in detail. For water it is the meter or the tap at the unit; for gas it is getting everyone outside; for hot water it is the cold inlet at the tank, which on an acreage block can be a fair walk away.
The Four Emergencies in Detail
Each page below covers its own make-safe steps, likely causes and what the repair involves:
Burst Pipes
Water pouring from a wall or under a drive needs the supply off first, then us. Our burst pipe page covers shut-off spots, hillside pad risks and the repair itself.
Toilet Overflowing
When a pan fills rather than drains, a downstream blockage or a struggling septic system is the likely cause. Our page separates the two and lists safe first moves before help arrives.
No Hot Water
Cold showers on a winter morning in the foothills come from a valve, an element or a dying tank. Our page explains which and what each fix means for you.
Gas Leaks
One rule for gas: leave the property and ring us from outside. No switches, no flames, no hunting for the leak. Our gas leak page walks the steps in order.
Storm Season on the Foothills
Thunderstorms are common here from November to March, and the emergency calls follow the rain down the hills.
One Mile, Four Mile, Kobble and Sandy Creeks and the North Pine River carry water toward the lake, and Council's flood overlay marks high-risk hazard zones on every creek corridor. Overland flow also runs down Peppermint Drive and Ron Bischof Close.
While the creeks are running, three things matter:
- Pits fill early, and the lowest fixture in the house becomes the escape point for a system under pressure.
- Keep people away from anything coming up inside, and shut off what you safely can before ringing us.
- The follow-on work comes after the storm: silted pits, blocked stormwater lines and overloaded trenches all land in the weeks after big rain.
Those follow-on jobs are booked visits, and blocked stormwater and blocked sewer cover that side.

Emergency FAQs for Cashmere
Call (07) 3067 4276What counts as a plumbing emergency in Cashmere?
Unstoppable water, a gas odour, sewage backing up indoors and water close to power all qualify, and any of them is worth ringing (07) 3067 4276 immediately instead of waiting to see.
Where is the water shut-off on a Cashmere acreage block?
The meter tap usually sits with the meter near the front boundary, but on a big block that can mean a long trek from the house, so locate it before anything goes wrong.
Does storm rain around the Cashmere creeks back up drains?
Yes, the creek corridors carry council flood mapping, so while a creek runs, stormwater can push back up through the lowest drain in the house until the system relieves itself hours later.
Who owns the pipes if a water main fails near my boundary?
Unitywater owns the public mains and the sewer side; everything on your side of the connection is yours to maintain here in Cashmere, and that is where our fixed quote applies.
What should I do about a gas smell near the meter?
Get everyone out, ring us from the footpath or the car, and leave switches and flames alone, because no repair job is worth taking that risk yourself inside the house.
How do I book an emergency plumber in Cashmere?
