Unfortunately you cant teach "common sense", and its lacking in this Country big time..
This was done by a highly recommended plumber, so you never know.
Believe it or not there are plenty of qualified plumbers, engineers, technicians here in the DR. The trick is to get references of course.
Reading/English comprehension?
You should have called me, I would have used duct tape instead.
It's pretty apparent why some of you bash Dominicans.
MAYBE ................BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT..........
Good work doesn't create bashing..........only bad......

I had some ceiling repairs done around 8 months ago due to a water leak.
The ceiling started leaking again and after some investigation I found the problem.
The idiots wrapped a big sponge around the leaking pipe, instead of actually fixing the leak!

Make sure you watch anyone working on your house like a hawk, beter still, fix the issues yourself.
That plumber was recommended by who? And how much did you pay him, don't tell me you paid him 100 pesos and expected more than 100 pesos worth of effort.
(...) don't always trust a recommendation, despite who's telling you.

Speaking of plumbing I have seen it done correctly here so it can be done the right way. Also, for those in the construction business like myself (19 years) know that inferior crap like this happens in the States as well. In fact my brother makes a good living suing contractors.
OK... I'll freely admit that some contractors and tradesmen in the U.S. will cut corners on occasion. BUT I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IF ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THAT "REPAIR" EVER HAPPENS.
maybe a Dominican immigrant working as a plumber in the U.S. LOL LOL
actually quite impressive to come up with such an idea; my gardener would have used a piece of "goma" :bunny: (piece of a tire tube)
