Similar catastrophe level, but very different situation happened to my parents on Thanksgiving day. Of course the house was full of relatives for dinner and conversation. All of a sudden the kitchen sink plugged up, and the drain trap stared leaking after some plunger action.
There are very few stores if any open on that day. SO I jumped in my car, and drove home to get a trap I had, and planned to replace very soon. I got back with my plumbing overalls on, and my tool box. The trap was not quite the right fit, but I made it work. While the trap was off, we ran a 30 foot snake down the pipe, all while my mom was trying to keep guest happy, and and keep cooking the turkey.
I got it all cleaned up, put back, draining right, and I washed up just in time to have Thanksgiving dinner. After all the guests left, their main bathroom toilet had some flushing issues. I was happy they had a second toilet, and I left dad to have fun with that problem, and I went home. He called a plumber the next day to do a full pipe clean-out with professional level equipment.
