Looking for plumber recommendation ASAP

[dreamshark]

We're heading out of town tomorrow to help Amber move, and our kitchen sink has sprung a leak. I'm desperately trying to find a reliable, honest plumber who is available today to fix it before we leave. Probably going to be impossible, but I'm making calls.

Backup plan - wrap the pipe with plumbing tape for a temporary fix and get the plumber in after we come back in late July. Still could use a recommendation.  Anybody?

[ETA] After several fruitless calls I finally found a plumber who was able to fit us in today and had good reviews on Yelp:  Uptown Plumbing. They're supposed to be here between 3 and 5. Here's hoping they show up, since we're on a plane to San Jose at 7am tomorrow.

I've used Barnes Plumbing, (612) 529-1172. They are not cheap, but they know what they're doing.
Good luck with it.

Thanks, good to know. I'll add that to my list of prospective plumbers. However, I did manage to find someone who would come out today, so we're crossing our fingers that they show up as promised.

We have been really happy with HomeAdvisor; you get contractors who call you because they want the job.

We used Home Advisor (formerly Service Magic, an EVER-so-much-better name) to find the contractors for our huge boiler replacement project. It worked well for us. It's a useful data point to know that it worked for you guys too.

However, not useful for needing service within hours of calling.
