Of course I know and had googled for plumbing service. Would like to engage one that someone in here couch for and had engaged the service before tats all.

If the plumber's charges is reasonable and does a good job, that extra bit in  transportation cost is no issue.

But you are right, what for ask in here, just google. Like for anything regarding cars. Or even ask your local AD instead.

I actually read this thread like one week back looking for a plumber recommendation… my toilet shower drainage over the years and has always choke. Called someone a few months back and he charged us $450 to clear it…. It choked again. My wife called back the same person last week and he also charged us $450 again…. he say this time confirm will not choke. He removed a huge piece of gunny sake every time he comes in… not sure if it is really my pipe has it or he bluff me…he spent over 2 hours at my place with his snaking machine trying to dislodge whatever thing is choking my drainage.
tell me if you want his contact. My choke is pretty hard to remove due to my Renovation 11 years ago, I closed off a water trap on the ground floor…

Pour boiling hot water down the choked pipe.

If it does not clear, do it 2 more times.

If it still doesn't work, buy unchoked gel from Horme.

The nuts are beneath the toilet bowl tank, not easy man. 

I look beneath myself,....can also see 2 nuts. 😁

  Does it mean I'm a toilet bowl too.  😱   No wonder my OC say I'm full of shit.

Plumbing is not easy work, sometimes better to just pay people do.

Have to turn and twist your body and arm.

That time I tried to DIY changed the refill part(?) inside the toilet bowl tank....wah lan eh. Took me more than an hour and a lot of sweat.

Some nuts are really tight, need strong arms like The Rock and the right tools. I had to remove the whole tank from the toilet bowl first then changed the part inside it. Fixed back had to make sure white tape are used, nuts are tightened and no water leak. 

Agree. I will also check out Youtube first before attempting to DIY. I'll pay for someone to do it if the work is too challenging. If I make a mess, OC will surely make me stand by toilet.

Bro, don't kenna ketok for nothing.

3 things I always do when the basin is choked.

1) Unscrew the cap below the sink to clean the gunk

2) Use a plunger to pump at the sink hole

3) Buy a Mr Muscle declogger and use it. Pour the whole bottle in and wait 30 mins. Then use boiling water to pour into the sink hole.

If you're referring to below pipe under your basin. One option is to replace the whole assembly. Should not be too expensive if it's all plastic. Just take out the whole set and bring to to your hardware store for a replacement set. This way, you don't have to mess with the gunk inside the pipe.

That is why I need a plumber to do it for me. Like I said again, I’m looking for a plumber recommendation and not DIY plumbing advice.
