$250 for a service call and an hour of a plumber's time. Seems about typical. The question is, why would you pay someone for a pointless, unneeded procedure that you could have easily done yourself with a garden hose and access to Google, if you were that worried about it.
If Village Plumber did something to trick you into paying them to flush your water heater, then shame on Village Plumber. But I can't blame them too much for taking your money if you called them up and asked them to do it.
