Tried to fix my own sink and flooded the kitchen floor

The shutoff valve was old and snapped clean off when I turned it, spraying water everywhere for a full minute before I could get to the main. My wife just walked in and said 'well, you tried.' Anyone know a good plumber in Phoenix?

Oh man, that exact thing happened to my uncle! He tried to be a hero with a rusty outdoor spigot and it just sheared off. Water was shooting straight up to the roof. It's crazy how those old valves just turn to powder. I feel your pain on the mad dash to the main shutoff, that's a special kind of panic. Hope you find a good plumber fast.

Honestly @mason361, I think trying to fix stuff yourself is still worth it even when it goes wrong.
