hardware store few years back. less than 50

Im not a plumber by trade, but experience has thought me alow when you ada seven house to maintain with more than 20 toilets...

You mean toilet as in the toilet drain, floor trap sana ka? Your house, is how old? Ground floor ka? This is the big ass 4-5" floor drain ka the smaller 1-2" basin drain? Different developer different layout, no standard.

If its the bigger floor drain, newer house would come with some type of trap, i'm unsure what they call this.

Your puny auger or drain cleaner will not work in most situation. Trust me, i know toilets, haha!

Ts is refering to the toilet flushing and it cant be the 1-2" basin drain ?

Is there a 'trap' for sewage discharge pipe line .... something which I am learning now. Are you refering to the manhole ?

Can you tell us more ... in your knowkedge, I trust.

I'm referring to the toilet itself being clogged (sometimes) when it is flushed. It's a siphonic design so the outlet is narrower.

It's a condo, being tenanted now and probably about 7-8 years.

The hardware shop recommended 2 methods, one is bicarbonate + hot water and another is called drain opener chemical (Mr bright brand). I got the chemical and will try it tomorrow.

Ahh, so now its about a toilet bowl (toilet common denominator in Malaysia). Sorry, my mistake, I thought its the floor drain (which is more common to encounter a block). A more technical term to what im referring would be a floor gully with trap because this is a PIA to settle.


For a toilet bowl case, more simple. Auger boleh, the drain cleaner pun boleh. But what I always use is what ppl call the drain blaster. I bought one from shoppee for ~RM20+ and it works in the 4-6 times such case happened with toilet bowl, basin, sink (for basin & sink kena tengok trap and overflow configuration). IMHO cleaner, more hygienice and more efficient (from what i have encountered).

I watched a video which they tape the toilet with tape then flash, not sure if it's real. Tell me if that work

Maybe your child throw a toy inside or your wife drop her tampon?

If you're comparing it with auger, yes definitely cleaner

Not trying this method, going to use the chemical

It's tenanted, so may be the tenant did it
