Ok.

I have no alternative other than to have a P-Trap snaked. The trap is in a very crappy spot and behind tile.

My experience is that most assho!e plumbers shoot the snake through the trap and end up turning an $80 call into an $800 call.

Does anyone know of anything/anyone to look for (special kind of machine, etc.) that the plumber should have so that if the snake can't push past the clog it won't push past the trap!

Thanks,

Pete
