Where To Buy Professional Plumbing Equipment

[Butoot 0]

Hi

I was "robbed" recently by two men who came to clear my choked toilet. I lost $260. The two "robbers" came into my house after I stupidly called a classified ad telephone to let them know where I stay (in a condo). They went into the toilet, switched on my two taps (bathtub and sink), took a cursory glance at my bathtub drainage hole (it was dark - you cannot see beyond 8 inches), and told me all my drainage holes are going to be choked. They told me to get out of the toilet saying that the water from my choked toilet bowl will splash onto me. They closed the door, took out a long rod with a ribbed cylindrical rubber head, pushed hard into the toilet bowl, and I could hear the water clearing immediately. The two "robbers" then clowned around in the toilet by turning on my two taps and splashing water all over the wall and floor. They didn't realise that I could see everything they did through the translucent glass part of the door. After ten minutes, they opened the door and said they had cleared all my choked and "about-to-be-choked" pipes. They then "robbed" me of cash $260 with no receipt so that I would not be able to proof later that I was robbed of $260.

What choice did I have? I was alone at home, and any resistance to pay would/could probably have been met with violence.

To prevent such future "robbery", I am now looking to equip myself with the proper tools to clear any chokage on my own.

I have tried the normal plunger, plunger with a piston to push air, and also an auger (10-foot long flexible rod with a head and a twisting handle) - all to no avail before I decided to make the fateful call to the classified telephone number that led to my robbery.

I am looking for professional equipment. Would appreciate your kind advice and assistance on this.

Thank you.

(btw, if you are interested in knowing the telephone number that I had called, you can pm me)

Toilet bowl choke cannot use normal plunger.

Need to use those small 3 inch diameter plunger.

Always works for me when the baby wipes chokes the bowl.

Most DIY shops got sell.

BTW, floortrap is not linked to toilet bowl. It only connects further down the pipe.

Its only about S$10 to buy that you so called professional equipment. Max 15SGD ..lol.

Btw, I was "robbed" off S$60.00 and I've learned my lesson and grew smarter by the day...

Butoot, you are considered lucky. We were robbed of $480. They did exactly the same things as your "robbers". No reciept as well.
