Hey there, anybody knows any good and honest plumbers around Klang Valley?

I just moved in to a 2nd hand apartment, and found that the piping in one of the toilets are not very good. Pressure is low and the valve under the sink doesn't seem to do anything...and it's also leaking when you turn it.

Problem is I've spent quite a bit in the apt, now budget very limited.
Any idea where to find a helpful, honest plumber?

I'm in Puchong.

Thanks...

I know one. But its been a while since I needed his service, so don't know if he is still at it.

Here is his contact anyway.

Name: Ah Wai
Tel: 016 605 2136

Hey TeeLim,

Thanks ...Price wise ok?
Does this guy work in Puchong?
Who should I say referred me?

Hi there, i had a problem finding an honest plumber too.Here's my story:
In Aug 2007 just after our renovation, the bathroom started flooding after baths and cooking. Friends told me the contractor must have put sand in. We got all sorts of plumbers, an Indian con man on the bicycle etc but the clog lasted till Feb 2009 with headaches and frustrations of not being able to bathe or do washings in the kitchen sink . Left with no choice, we got a big size plumber from the "Star" ads who pumped with all his might for15 mins under our kitchen sink to clear the clog and charged us RM300. But a year later the same flooding recurred. So we got an Indonesian contractor who said he would need to hack 4 feet deep into the manhole to see what's blocking there for RM750. That was too much "renovation" . Then we found this honest plumber, Ah Lek from Ampang(we live in puchong), through a friend. He came the 1st day, looked at the bathroom, the manhole then tried to pump under the kitchen sink but to no avail. Then he deduced from our house design that the bathroom and kitchen shared the same pipe exit which meant there should be a trap between the manhole and kitchen sink so he returned the next day to locate the trap by hacking under a few tiles. True enough he found the trap in which there were 2 kilos of sand apparently thrown in by the contractor we hired to do our renovation(the fellow threw the sand in and then cemented up the trap hole when he was doing the tiling, which is just crazy). Ah Lek removed the sand and did a cover so that in the future we just need to open the trap cover and clean it ourselves should a clog occur. He took half a day to do all that and only charged me RM300/- (but I tipped him another RM50 for all that laboring, patiently hacking to find the trap unlike the Star chap who wanted to make a quick buck). He not only solved our problem then but our future as well. We're so grateful towards him, even until now, that's why I fully recommend him. His contact number:016-3781588

Anyone knew any good termite contractor?

He's from outstation(sungai petani), an indian sub contractor to our relative. He made so many mistakes, we asked him to come back and rectify, but he refused.

Recommend Ah Lek, if your friends have any plumbing or roofing problems.

Agree 100%.

Last time I phoned one indian guy in star newspaper advertising 'best and cheapest in KL/PJ etc'.

Turns out his job is crappy and he was also very bad tempered when I complain to him.

Wanted to ask.

Is it cheap to move your aircon from one place to next.

Assuming the old DSL and the new DSL house is just 1km distance.

Hi,

I have deal with Ah Lek before and he is an honest plumber. He came to my place twice and he was very helpful.

Cant help but to think of the plumber I see in those movie .....

I have called Ah Lek (016-3781588) recently but I was told wrong number. May I get the update contact for Ah lek? Thank you.

Hi,
My car porch is leaking since yesterday and I suspect the balcony area incoming pipe had burst. Just curious if Ah Lek is able to do floor (tiles) hacking and replacement after he fix the pipe problem.

I wonder if the push push push thingie is some kind of plumber job ....

Hahaha funny thread

Hi,
I just called Ah Lek with the same number. He is still using the same number.

I just called 5 min ago.... it was a lady, that deny there's anyone she knows of calling Ah lek... zzz -.-

Please try again. I have just deal with him today. Recommended to all.

Hi,
