after reviewing the entire house and the plumbin issues, made several recommendations to correct the issues.
ended up putting a 3 inch clean out in my laundry room to take care of the back up in the kitchen since.
Also used a camera to identify roots that were causing additional issues and made a recommendation to install a main drin cleanout.

D is for Disappointing.  Gary was specifically asked if credit cards were accepted.  He said no, yet credit cards are shown under the Moses Plumbing Payment Options on Angie's List at the Irvine location.
 Gary cut several holes in our house and started work in the upstairs bathroom but did not finish it.  We will have to pay hundreds of dollars to fix the holes!
At a certain point he announced he charged $100 an hour for looking for water leaks.  He arrived in an unnamed van and has a business card saying he is a "tech" under Moses Plumbing's contractor license in Hollywood.  He said he was Moses' partner but does not appear to have a contractor 's license of his own when I looked under his name on the Contractors License Board.  There was no specific water leak.  We relied on Gary's expertise and were disappointed that his strategy for looking for possible water damage consisted of cutting endless random holes.
Gary seems to like doing what he wants to do and looks for any work which he can charge for.  He proposed to charge hundreds of dollars more for the upstairs bathroom which did not require the fix he proposed including the cheap plastic door he wanted to install.
He did install the replacement hardware for the wet bar ok, but then wanted $150 extra to fix the shut-off valves for the supply lines because one had a slight leak.  
We don't intend using him again and only did so originally because of the "A" ratings he received.  It was our first use of a contractor from Angie's list and very disappointing.

I at first felt really bad that he needed to go under the house to assess the repairs needed. In thinking about it myself... you couldn't really pay me enough to go down there. He needed to repair and secure the subfloor from below so as not to rp out the tile in the bathroom. he took about 2 days to do the repair- lots of the time under the house to secure the floor, and he needed to break out the pipe to replace it and put in level to the floor which was what had caused the original leak. He did a great job. Showed up on time- communicated everything he did as he did it, and gave me options. I am very satisfied with the work and will definitely use him again on other plumbing projects I have on "the list".

"I'm sorry to hear that u are dissatisfied with the service, the big deal u purchased does not cover in accessible water heaters for flushing and yours was in the basement, the plumber we sent out was not familiar with wording on the deal, so I'm happy to accept that u are entitled to your refund. This feedback has been positive and we now verify info before we make a trip to our members"

Seems the free inspection is just way to lured customer for more work. He found many things and gave estimate. I found that my bathtub is draining the water slowly, seemed like it was blocked. So I called the home warrenty and schedule service that for three more items reported by inspection by Moses. To my surprise the plumber took hardly ten minutes to fix the items which Moses gave the estimate of 4/5 hrs and around $400. According to home warrenty plumber beside service call charge it was $5 more to fix the things. Also if I knew the problem it would have been just $5 cost to fix the things I got the estimate of $400.
Response from GARYS PLUMBING( REPIPE SPECIALIST)
"I'm sorry your disappointed with the service I provided and the meticulous detail and eagle eye I have for spotting current and pre- emotive solutions, however I didn't understand this negative response to my service , so I called (Member name removed)personally and offered him a refund which he declined, he was quite cordial and mild mannered, I still didn't understand his disappointment ( maybe a language barrier) the service he purchased included a whole house plumbing inspection so it's my duty to spot the problems , show and explain solutions and NATURELY give prices , ( I currently am rated A for pricing with angies list, so if my customers rate me highly and somebody else thinks they are too high they can always get a second opinion(I am not a pressure sales person ) I think the word upselling has become a dirty word, in reality creating value , benefits ,and a proper fix is perceived as ripoff. I serve to serve again , it's written on my van, so to the vast majority of angies list members, thank you , I wish to seve you."

Mr Gary arrived on time. Very quickly we realized that the $89 we spent were mainly for him to come and tell us all the issues with our plumbing. He did not tune the toilets because he claimed that the flushing unit on all 3 toilets had to be replaced. He did not clean the drain because he was not willing to get around the AC unit in the backyard. He did not adjust the pressure regulator since it was old and he did not want the liability but he was more than happy to replace it. He spent about 15 mins in total cleaning our self cleaning shower heads, starting the water heater drain and fixing one leaky outside spigot. He spent most of his time writing up a long list of plumbing issues. A total of $1700 worth of work.
We are disappointed. Mr Gary talks a good game but we feel cheated and disappointed for flushing our $89 down the drain.
Response from GARYS PLUMBING( REPIPE SPECIALIST)
"[member name removed] expressed his dissappointment while I was still in his home with the service I performed, how ever he is being scarce with the truth. I spent 2hrs an d 45 minutes in the house, ( 90 minutes on $89 service 45 minutes doing inspection and detailed quotation with a cost per job, and 30 minutes answering at least 30 questions). I knew before I left his house he was going to write a negative report.the reason I did not offer a refund was on principal , i fixed 2 leaky hose bibbs. All shower heads and faucet spout aerators , flushed his water heater and carried out a full plumbing inspection, his kitchen sink could not be cleared from an access point blocked by an a/c unit it was physically impossible and he stated i was UNWILLING (an absolute lie). I put a pressure gauge to measure his house pressure which was high, my service was complete in this respect, Client wanted me to adjust it, I declined due to liability issues. In my opinion the real reason for this negative review is the issue of the toilet tune up they were beyond a tune up I quoted $ 270 dollars to rebuild all 3 toilets he tryed to negotiate and price me down to $150 I told him he i would not do it, at this point he was extremely angry and it was obvious, he said do it for $150 and I don't want the written guarantee on the work that your going to give me with the $270 job. At this point I knew I had to leave , I told him people like himself write up negative reviews because of what they consider high prices and that I thought he asked a lot of questions about how to fix his plumbing and that he might do it himself, he said he had time to do neither, ( well he did write a review , and I gave him a price to correct one of his plumbing mistakes, another set of lies. So why the blow for blow long winded response and 10 minutes of my time, to expose a frivolous unsubstantiated claim of false reporting.My overall reviews speak for themselves , I have to accept that I will never be able to please everybody and accept that 1 out of 10 will be negative."

Gary was very responsive to my phone calls and conducted himself as a real professional.  He identified a leak in my toilet and corrected it.  I decided to replace the water heater, which he arranged quickly and installed himself, correcting some of the installation errors that my previous plumber had made on my old water heater.  I especially appreciated how thoroughly he explained what he was doing and why.  I will certainly consider using him in the future for any plumbing needs that may arise.
Response from GARYS PLUMBING( REPIPE SPECIALIST)
"I'm pleased your happy with my work, most people put off replacing the water heater, if its 10. Years or older and doesn't sound or look good and yearly flushing gets expensive just replace it"

Gary came out on time for the initial estimate. Was very professional and detailed with what the problem was and options to fix. He was on time for the entire repair process and stuck to the proposed estimated time to complete the repair, even with the holiday weekend coming up. Old cast iron pipe was removed and new ABS line was installed. Work was completed in 2 days. He kept me in the loop the entire time and arranged the repair so we had a working bathroom right away. He was the only plumber (4 estimates) who gave me a few options and even asked if I wanted his opinion on a few things. He will be the first person I call should future plumbing issues arise.

Gary handles more of the Orange County area and Moses handles the San Fernando/Santa Clarita area.  They were a bit slow at returning my calls and emails but more then made up for it with there service.  They are extremely busy but are worth the wait.  Since it took some time to come out and flush the water heater, Moses repaired a toilet and unclogged a sink at no charge to make up for the delay in coming to my home.  It's nice to have a business take accountability for their business.  I will definately use them again.

I contacted Moses Plumbing to troubleshoot and correct a faulty gas water heater.   Company owner tole me he could perform the service that same day, and I would be his last appointment of the day.   However, he got delayed at another job and called at about 8:00 PM to advise that he had to postpone until the following day.   He arrived the following afternoon as promised, identified the problem with my water heater, and replaced the thermocouple.   He was knowledgeable and friendly, and I would recommend Moses Plumbing!
