Does anyone have a good, inexpensive plumber for a "debouchage"/unblocking of kitchen drains? I was just quoted 125 euro which seems very high to me as I know it takes...
You'll also need this hose for unblocking drains: http://www.powertoolsdirect.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9 df78 eab33525 d08 d6 e5 fb8 d27136 e95/k/a/karcher-drain-cleaning-kit-15 m_1.jpg
Benoît I. replied:
A Karcher will push what's blocking. The furet is some kind of flexible spring - push it in the pipe, when you reach what's blocking turn the crank and then pull back the dirt... Explanations here in French but the drawings are helpful enough. http://bricolage.bricovideo.com/plomberie/deboucher-evier.html

I second Andy Fish

I had the same problem with my Bulex. Most probably the circulatory pump doesn't work. My apartment's management had an agreement with this company and they were really good at their job. IF you contact with them by e-mail, the lady who will reply your e-mail can speak English. https://www.alfa-tech.be/contact

For new equipment, it depends on the shop & appliance type - See for ex. You might need to ensure that the proper connections are in place. And for some other types, it's a paying service...
