My parent house kitchen got clogged, it was from the previous renovation,
they make the piping like "u" shape then go to the inspection chamber,( this is what they said, im not sure )
it also effect the kitchen toilet...
call a plumber,they said...
at the "u" there got hard fat( lemak yg dah keras ) from kitchen stuck there...
need to dig the kitchen floor because of the complicated plumbing to scrap the fat...

the question is it reasonable for this price?(rm 1000)
or is it just another scam?
and he is just an indonesia worker that work for renovation.
he said got 1 year warranty if still got clog can free repair...

P/S : sorry for my bad english.

You meant now water stacked there and can't go out (overflow) at the Kitchen zink?
Toilet bowl at Kitchen also stacked?

Have you try using the "Pump" that given air pressure into the pipe or get a small flexi alumimin tube to try out?

Use acid first if you are not using metal pipe.

Perhpas Indah Water can help?
But it mean need to break you KC tile and solve it? But under ground have "U" thing?
Because when my contractor doing the KC piping, it didn't have any "U" at all. It direct out to the hole inside the house. Have you open the Hole to check before?

the tile already break when i got home,
very suspicious on the price, i tot it should be around 400 - 500...
i've ask at yahoo answer, they say the "u" pipe thing is to trap the waste,
i think since the fat is trapped there need to dig la, i think...huuhu...
