BE WARNED!

I've never written reviews before but my experience was so terrible that I feel obligated to warn people about this company.

I needed a plumber to install some water filtration systems I bought, and since they were coming out I asked them to take a look at a clogging issue we were having with one of our toilets. The technician, Richard (who says he is one of the managers) said it would cost $120 for him to snake the toilet which I agreed to. He proceeded to snake it and then told me that while removing some clogs he had hit a hard block and now would need to hydrojet the toilet and it would cost me $450. I wasn't happy about this but I agreed. He had to wait for another technician to show up and then the two of them proceeded to hydrojet the toilet.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, he is asking for access to under my house. After banging around down there for some time he let me know that my outgoing pipes were extremely old and were cracking in several places. He explained to me that there was raw sewage under my house. That I shouldn't so much as turn my kitchen sink on or it would dump under the house and cause further damage, and that I would need to replace all of my outgoing piping. Obviously I was extremely alarmed. He then took a video of the damage so I could see it for myself. There did seem to be damp spots under the house, and he showed a pipe with some water dripping from it so I believed him. However, the quote was for $7,500 and he said he could finish it that night (it was already 5:30pm on a Friday). The piping he was going to use was plastic so it couldn't have cost more that a couple hundred dollars -so what kind of hourly rate is that? When I let him know we would need to get more quotes he quickly dropped his price to $6,500. I let him know we were still going to need more quotes and he left our house with the water off and another warning to NOT use the water (and our water filtration system never got installed).
My husband, daughter and I had to leave our house that night and stay elsewhere out of fear of causing further damage. The next day we had two different plumbing companies over to provide us quotes and one of them told us that there is absolutely nothing wrong with our outgoing lines. The second one said they are a little old but nothing is wrong with them. There was no raw sewage and no signs of leaks. He quoted us $3500 to have all of the lines replaced.
I am so upset that Richard would try to con me like that. He is a thief who preys on innocent people who need help and in my opinion he belongs behind bars. He seems like a likable and capable person and I'm sure he has successfully conned many people in the past. While he was at my house I overheard him on the phone with a different customer telling them that their gas lines were bad and that they would need to replace them. Obviously this is questionable.
I called the company to let them know about my experience and spoke to Abraham Lopez, who says he is the general manager. I wanted to let him know about Richard and give him the opportunity to make things right. He said he would call be back in 2 hours but he never did.
