I love the internet... It is so full of both useful and useless information.
I called a plumber about two toilets that didn't work. He came out and charged me $350 for about 30 minutes of work.
One of the toilets isn't working again a month later. I called them and they said they don't warranty the labor, just the parts. So it is $70 to see if it is a part and then possibly another $140 to fix the problem if no more parts are needed.
I asked what if the part he installed is fucked, do I get the labor waived on reinstalling it? Answer: NO.
So I go online to the company that made the part and they have a PDF file on the complete taredown and shit for their parts. Turns out the plumber shoved a washer into a slot with a screw driver and tore it. The torn piece covered the tube and thus no water flow.
Checking my garage I find a sutable washer and replace the torn one.
Cost: $free...
And now that I know how my toilet works, never again will I hire a plumber for it.
