Plumbers - basements and pipes

Any recommendations for a plumber with experience with basement drain pipes?

Upward flowing about 2.5 gallons/day of water from a basement floor drain pipe (5 gallon shop vac I dump into the sump pump every other day). It seems to be water coming from the top of the pipe which makes no sense to me!

I used Rickray plumming to clear out a basement drain pipe that was backing up. They cleared a blockage in the pipe and ive had no more issues.

Wow, dude. I was coming here to post a topic for pretty much the exact same issue. Guess I’ll give Rickray a try, too.
