Use McCoy Plumbing (Moscow, Idaho) at your own peril! William R. Buckley
UPDATE!
Called Hilliard's Plumbing in Pullman, Washington. They sent out a service plumber. He removed the toilet, found the real problem, spent time to explain it, and showed conclusively the shoddy job done by McCoy. In point of fact, the stand-pipe was decayed. That is, there is a large gap between the top of the pipe. The pipe has rotted, and there are holes in the pipe. Apparently, the pipe was in this condition when I bought the home; it was built in 1920.
When one calls for the services of a plumber, they do so wanting competence. I am not a plumber, so I expect a plumber to know what he is doing. McCoy did not send out a plumber, while Hilliard's did send out a plumber.
McCoy takes money while doing a shoddy job. This is nothing short of fraud. Hilliard's on the other hand, takes time to do the job correctly, to inform the customer of the details of plumbing problems. McCoy's is a jerry-rigger; Hilliard's is a professional plumber.
I would like to provide pictures of the stand-pipe, but it appears that such support is not available on Angieslist. So, I will post the photographs on my profile page on FaceBook:
https://www.facebook.com/wrbuckley
That way, all who read this post will find the relevant photograph. You'll know the quality of McCoy by noting the fact that they hid the damaged stand-pipe with two rings of wax, instead of actually fixing the problem.

First, they installed the entire row of plumbing for 1 bathroom a foot off from the plans. Since it wasn't discovered until after radiant and floors and concrete were laid, there was no way to repair it. Instead of an apology, all I got was, "Well, it doesn't matter whose fault it is, what matters is what do you want to do about it?" That is precisely what the installer said. Ken Himself didn't even allow the word "Sorry" or "I apologize" to exit his mouth. No offer to decrease costs. Instead of an apology, he nickled and dimed us for everything that had to be changed, whether it was our mistake or his guys' mistake. Just discovered today that they installed the wrong water valves (Different than what I wanted, but he never asked me what I wanted or told me that what he installed would prevent me from buying half of the water control valves on the market). He said he can't fix it because drywall already happened. They put the pot filler only 10 inches off the stove. What good is a pot-filler that is only 10 inches high? I could carry a 10 inch pot to the sink. I need it for BIG pots, so I don't have to carry a Huge pot of water. I am sure he will try to charge me to fix that as well. What else? Too small of a pipe to master bath, that had to be replaced. THere were so many things they did shoddy. I can't begin to enumerate them. For the amount of money he has charged me, he should be plating my bathrooms with Gold, not installing the cheapest parts and chewing me out for his mistakes. I haven't lived in the house yet to see if all of the actual assemblage was good. I will update down the road if I run into more problems.

Plumbing reviews from real Angi homeowners in Pullman, WA
They were professional, quick, and knowledgable. They went beyond the work required to help me find the source of a leak in our basement (which wasn't a plumbing leak, but surface water hitting a crack next to the house).

First. They were asked to do one thing only. They were asked to remove the vinyl floor covering so that my handyman could inspect the flooring underneath. Yet they went way beyond that and then asked my handyman to sign a document giving them permission to do what they had not been asked to...

I called McCoy to address a leaking stand-pipe, atop of which is the toilet. I have a two story home with a basement underneath, and the stand-pipe for the toilet on the first floor goes straight down to the floor of the basement. Sound to you like a reason to re-affix the toilet? The tub...

FAQs for plumbing projects in Pullman, WA
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Who will do the work? Are they all licensed and qualified plumbers?
What happens if any breaks or damages occur?
What is your response time in an emergency?
Is cleanup included in the quote?
Do your services come with a guarantee?
Discussing these questions with your plumbing contractor will help eliminate future issues and clarify expectations.
Before your plumber pays you a visit, it’s a good idea to clean up any boxes, garbage, or other obstacles that could be in their way. In addition, it’s best practice to clean the area that needs to be inspected or worked on, like a toilet, for example. Make sure to keep kids and pets out of the way once the plumber arrives.
Typically, plumbing repairs cost about $325 per job but can range from $175 to $4,000 or more. Simple fixes, such as a toilet repair, will be less expensive at around $150 to $400. However, if you have a pipe that has burst, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 or more.
The project that needs to be completed, the size of your home, and the type of plumbing pipes you have can all impact the final cost. External factors such as supply chain issues and shortage of materials all play a part in how much this repair might be.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
