ALL DRAINS & PLUMBING

BEWARE of All Drains and Plumbing!! This business is operating without a license and has been fined in the past for doing the same. The owner's son Jared whined about not being able to find my mom's septic tank and then had MY 85 YEAR OLD MOTHER shovel a path to the septic tank for him! After being there 7 hours and doing nothing but removing a toilet and shutting off my mom's water at the pump house, Jared said the current bill was at $1500 and he could fix the issue for a minimum of $2400---but my mom would have to take her cats and move out....BUT JARED WOULD STAY IN MY MOM'S HOME for safety reasons..????! RED FLAG--- RED FLAG--- RED FLAG!!! When my mom told him to stop working because she couldn't afford the exorbitant prices (especially for not even fixing anything)Jared told my mom she could get a PAYDAY LOAN to pay him---Jared said most of their customers have to take out payday loans or title loans to pay them! Jared then arranged to meet my sister to be paid for what he said was owed at that point. Even though Jared told my mom the bill was at $1500, he told my sister if she didn't go through insurance he would take $500 CASH..?? (Not shady at all) When my sister asked for a breakdown of the charges and asked for his business license Jared became verbally abusive and irate. Jared said they don't need a business license to clear drains. Jared took the $500 cash and then walked back to my sister's car and threw $50 dollars at her, saying "Jesus wants me to be kind to those who are aggressive against me"....are you kidding me? My sister asked for a breakdown of the charges and asked for his business license....which are 100% justified (and warranted) and not at all aggressive. These people are unstable! Upon further investigation we found that Joe David Rivera (owner) and his son Jared both have extensive records with the court system---it is glaringly obvious that they get aggressive and irate with customers who question them in any way. One woman was so afraid of Joe David Rivera she had to ask a neighbor to be there with her for protection when Mr. Rivera was at her home. Jared left a HUGE mess at my mom's home, caused issues with her pump and never fixed ANYTHING. Joe David Rivera called in a panic after his son was verbally abusive to my sister, trying to do damage control and offered to give her money back. My sister instructed him to mail the money because she didn't feel safe being around Jared or his dad---and that neither one of them were to return to my mom's home or they will be trespassed and the sheriff will be called. As of the writing of this post, the money has not been returned. They took $450 of my sister's money for NOTHING....Jared didn't fix anything...in fact he caused more issues that needed to be fixed and left a huge mess for my mom to clean up. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ALL DRAINS AND PLUMBING----THEY ARE NOT LICENSED.....they have been fined more than once in the past for operating without a license ---they overcharge----Jared told my mom to get payday loan to pay his inflated, outrageous prices, they tried to get my mom to move out of her home so he could be there alone and are aggressive and verbally abusive to customers!!! WHO DOES THIS TO AN 85 YEAR OLD WOMAN on a fixed come??? SHAMEFUL! Contacting the Better Business Bureau, L&I, Attorney General......

It may have gone fine, except the son showed up, pulled off a bunch of paneling enclosing our clawfoot tub & puddles beneath, & promised to return in the a.m. with materials. The next day I had to contact him to inquire, only to find they were suddenly booked through until the next day at least & wasn't even going to discuss with my landlord until late that night. It was okay that my job had been pushed out though because , he said, I could still shower even with water pooling from the busted overflow, just use towels and the gaping wall wasn't that bad. Since we also had water traveling under the wall into the pantry I texted the father, David, and asked why our job had been set aside for another. According to my landlord, because of this, he quit the job entirely. I'm not sure if that is true, but I do know they agreed to be back on New Year's Day with "no overtime" charges, & they began a job they did not finish. ?

He is OK. Our troubles were our own fault. He is very short on advice and relationship building. Gets in and gets out. He seems to know what he is doing. We wish he had taken a little extra time to tell us the first time how important it was to turn off our outside water.  Seems like a no brainer, but in our case it was especially important due to the pitch of the inside basement pipes relative to the outside valve.  We are not mechanical at all so need the extra instruction.
