Need a plumber for Christmas emergency!!! (cross post)

This is the last thing we need Christmas morning. Wife was taking a shower upstairs, water starts flowing up and out from the toilet in the basement. Shutting the valve won't help as that's not where it's coming from. It seems to me there is a clog in the main drain which is backing everything up and out of the basement toilet. I know it's a long shot for any of our all-star plumbers from MOL to be available Christmas morning, but maybe they can recommend someone?

Call Nick Recchia he's from West Orange
973-731-7762

Weltman's. Expensive, but usually always available.

I ended up calling Valley Sewer & Drain as first few were closed and their ad said no extra charge for holidays so I knew they were open. Said they'd be here in an hour. Wish me luck!

Weltman wanted to replace a pipe on an emergency visit years ago for hundreds of dollars. Declined the offer & pipe still working fine.

Weltman's is like that but on Christmas morning you can't be too picky. They once came for me on Father's Day.

Good luck for sure, but Merry Christmas anyway! oh oh

Drain clean-out is not accessible so now they have to pull the toilet. More time, more $$$$. 11:45 is not too early to start drinking under these conditions, is it?

Hell no! Get those drinks flowing!

when i first read this i thought it said a d-o-g in the drain!!!

It was a severe hit to my wallet but all was fixed by the time guests arrived. Merriment followed with food, family and many glasses of Santa's Butt porter!

I highly recommend Nick Recchia.  He came to Maplewood on short notice for a basement laundry clog issue and had a clever/straightforward solution.  His prices are very reasonable and he is honest.

My thoughts exactly !! 

But hey, you never know  wink 


6 hours ago, i called an emergency 24/7 plumber...he said they don't actually come out over night...go figure....said he would call back by 7:30am...its about 8:30...in the mean time I have been sopping up water...i am now using t shirts....so i came looking for another name...

+1

If he's not available, he has drain people he uses who usually are. If not, I used All Clear with good success in the past.
