I hired Barry Paripsky (Aquality Plumbing and Heating) to complete repairs in my home after a significant leak and reattach the bathroom sink in April of 2021. Barry charged me 3000.00 and completed the repairs, but never tested his repairs. The water was off until July of 2021 after Barry reattached the sink. When I turned the water on, water came gushing through the ceiling and walls.
After the second leak (and after drywall repairs had already been made to my house) Barry refused to make repairs or compensate for damages. in the case of Barry’s work in my home, I had to hire a second plumber. The second plumber there was a sizable hole that was packed with putty adjacent to the main stack and in an area where Barry had completed work. The hole was significant and could have easily been seen by the naked eye. Even if it had been missed, had water been run through the pipes to test the repairs that he made, he would have immediately noticed the leak at which time we would have discussed further repairs.
However, he did not run the water through to test your work, even after I asked him to do so. Instead, the leak was discovered when I used the sink that he had reattached for me, to which he said: “You ran the water in the sink for too long.” Any amount of time would have had the same result.
The leak caused further damage to my ceiling and drywalls which had just been repaired, along with significant damage to my couch and floors through your negligence.
I am seeking monetary compensation for the damage done to my property caused by his negligence, including but not limited to plumbing repairs, reimbursement for the reinstallation of the sink and vanity that he was already paid for, replacement of bathroom flooring, dry wall, and ceiling that were damaged again, repair to downstairs flooring, and replacement of my couch. Receipts/estimates will be made available upon request.
