❌ Plumber quoting over $400 before even seeing the toilet (unless it’s 2 AM) ❌ Charging a “diagnostic fee” + hourly + “toilet fee” – get a flat rate for simple clogs
Try a flange plunger first (not the cheap suction cup one). 90% of clogs clear with $10 and 3 minutes of elbow grease. Save the plumber’s number for the other 10%.
🛠️ $5–$20 (Plunger, dish soap + hot water, or a basic 15ft auger)
