Try the plumbing supply place, most of those have plumbers working there. some retired ,some active. You will find they are knowledgeable and helpful with good information. This will help you to better understand what the situation is. That way you won't be blindsided by a plumber at yer home.

You might actually acquire some information an on site plumber hadn't thought of. !
From there on to obtaining estimates.
Be interested to know how it all pans out.

And the apartment building is owned by a client of mine, he's too old to find somebody else to do it even though I'm to old or tired of it !

So he helps and we hire a couple of young guys to do the heavy lifting and dirtiest parts of the dirty work ! Age has it privilege !
