I have never denied valleywide plumbing coming to the house however like everything else with this man his statements are false.  I did NOT not want to pay for services. He never camera'd the line in full, he never gave me a diagnosis and never provided a copy of the tape because there was none as by his own admission he didnt camera the whole line as he didn't have the correct camera to do it.  He is a disgustng liar.  He told me "at this point we don't know what is wrong with the line. Later, he told me he only saw 1/2 way thru  the line. Perhaps it's because there was a different workers there each time or they just didn't tell him the truth BUT NOTHING CAN DISPUTE THE FACT that my tenant and neighbor both saw his workers go to a neighbor across the street ON MY CHARGED TIME to view another job.  If "i didn't want to pay for services from the beginning" why did he continue to speak to me"? I am amazed if anyone cannot see how ridiculous this"mans" assessment of the situation is.  If the correct camera had been used the issue would have been resolved early on like the professional plummer I hired and paid after him. To  say that I risked losing a tenant,  I DID lose months rent and the continued time lost cause I didn't want to pay him is ludicrous.  It cost me with the rent, several carpet cleanings and tenant arguments. Disgraceful. As I said-i paid the person who fixed it in 3 days promptly and in full as I have ALL contractors who have done work for me.  He is lying. BOTTOM LINE.  This company tried to take advantage of an out of state landlord with incomplete work, incorrect diagnosis and multiple attempts at getting me to pay for work that was Never done.  BEWARE!
