Plumber Recommendation
Sometimes our house/flat water pipe can get choke due to whatever things got stucked in the water pipe. If we have a water rubber pump, we can simply do it ourselves to clear the choke.
If it still chokes, next thing to do is to pick up a phone and call.
Who to call?
I ever refer to the Chinese newspaper commercial section and call from there.
My First Encounter in 2011
This plumber where I found him in the newspaper came one night in June 2011. After assessing the situation, he asked for S$280 if I want to let him clear the choke. It was already 9pm, so I let him do and pay him.
My 2nd Encounter on 26 Jan 2013
Yesterday, I was out in Pasir Ris in the afternoon, my mum called me and complained the shower water got choke again. I told her to look for a plumber in the newspaper and call him to come down. My mum did and 2 plumbers came. After assessing the situation, I think they thought my mum is not experience in such repair, they asked for S$800 - S$1,200. They said need to remove the toilet bowl also in order to repair. My mum tried to call me but I was busy so I did not answer her call. Luckily, she called my elder brother. Elder brother said pay them the transport fee and he has a friend who knows a reliable plumber through a mobile app. My mum pays them S$30 and they left.
Today, the reliable plumber came, he use his pump and 2 pails from my house and helped to clear the choke. He only asked for S$40. I bought a new pump from him for S$15 and a filter for S$2.50.
