Plumber Walked Away from Job

[AJ P.]

Hi everyone, I had a plumber come over, walked him through everything I wanted done, and he told me he would be done before Thanksgiving. He wanted 1/3 payment up front in cash and I paid him. He's done everything on my list but adding the bathroom in my basement. My contractor has gotten impatient waiting for him and has started taking matters into his own hands (he did the jack hammering of the floors which my plumber said had "complications" and would "take forever to get through"). He's told me over the last 4 days that he would be there to finish up but each day had another excuse why he couldn't come and it is very delayed at this point. Well, last night he must've gone over (without telling me) grabbed his tools and left. I've tried getting in touch with him today but he blocked my phone number (my texts don't deliver and my call goes right to voicemail. I called from another number and it went through so I know his phone isn't messed up or something). He left a lot PVC over there that I assume he intended to use, but I am unsure what to do now. I'm reaching out to other plumbers to be safe, but are those supplies mine to use now for the next plumber? My contractor mentioned he might've left them since he felt bad about up and leaving the job. I'm fine with what I paid him for the work he's already completed, but would just like to hear from him that he's done with the job or what the situation is. I wasn't sure if him blocking my phone number is grounds for me to be able to move forward with someone else (I intended to do so if he wasn't done by this weekend anyways) or how to really handle the situation. I'd greatly appreciate any advice and more than happy to share additional information if needed. Thank you!
