I have a laundry hookup I assume is similar to this:

The drain is blocked so we have been draining the washer out the
window to keep from opening up the wall to replace the drain section.

Well now one of the water valves is leaking so it seems like a good
time to fix both problems. I called a plumber and told him what I
needed and he said because of all the busted pipes that he could come
out and replace the valves (so I can turn the water back on to the
house), but the drain would have to be later.

So can he replace the water valves and then come back and shoe in the
drain? I guess my question is can the trim piece be put in after
doing the plumbing or does the drain, water, and trim piece have to go
in together.

I'll take a stab. The valves can be changed immediately without
tearing into the wall.

As to the drain problem;, perhaps you can stick a dry/wet vac hose
down the drain and extract what ever is causing the blockage. It may
need a temporary hose modification. Can you run a long piece of
something like bailing wire down the drain, maybe grab what causes the
problem? Or dislodge it...

Do you trust your plumber.

I don't distrust the plumber, but plumbing is not my strong suit. I
have had 2 plumbers try to unstop the drain in the past and both said
the same thing. The blockage is in the first 90 degree bend about 3
or 4 feet from the opening.

The plumber coming out tomorrow has never been here before, but he
works for company everyone recommends. I explained what I had over
the phone to him tonight.
