Called a plumber on the weekend and he was nice enough to tell me it would be cheaper to check into a hotel and wait till monday, but my parents were out of town so we stayed there. Monday we talked to the original plumber.. booked for two weeks. Found another and they came out this morning and made an emergency call to Enmax to shut off our water main. Turns out our water main valve is broken too! So now that valve has to be replaced, but luckily for us the plumber was able to use vice grips to turn our water on temporarily... so basically now its hope to hell that something doesnt happen where we need to turn off our water in the next two weeks.. fun fun.
