Ours burst this morning as well and I haven't had any luck contacting a plumber. We've already given up hope on finding a plumber tonight and are going to try the first thing in the morning.
Let me know who you go with

Our area is Stanton Heights btw. And if any redditor browsing has a favorite plumber in the east end I'm definitely open for recommendations

Cuccaro plumbing is reliable

Thanks for the rec - the pipe is capped for now but they are coming out to hook it back up to the hot water tank next week (earliest we could get - we have cold water so can do most everything else but showering at family for a week!)

We heard back from three people - the one for tonight ended up not working out - we’re going to have to try again in the am - will ping you with who ends up following through.

Appreciate it!

Vince Marino ended up coming out - our specific issue was the water pipe burst to hot water tank. For now he only capped it so we could turn water back on at all. We still have to have someone come out to fix the actual pipe. it was $125 callout plus parts.

Got in contact with him tonight after being ghosted by another plumber. Hopefully Vince or one of the others will be out tomorrow 😬
Thank you for the recommendation

He was a little gruff, but very helpful! I’m thankful he was available because so many places just weren’t taking anymore on.

Thank you for the recommendation!!! Vince valved off my kitchen and will be back Thursday to work on the burst pipe. Gruff but fair is what I would definitely call the man. Good conversation while working. Will definitely be hiring him again for my plumbing needs

Tube cutter plus some shark bites will take care of it if you can access the pipe.
