Issue with Plumbing quality of work

[Julien Teoulet]

Hello community. 

I had a leak under slab in one of my property and plumbing contractor had to redirect the line in the attic. 

I could not be present at time of the work and went to check it only a couple of days after everything was done. 

When I went to check my water meter, it is still running (they said they checked and it was good), and I am pretty pissed off about what I found outside. (see picture). 

I am contacting the owner to have a discussion with him, but what are my legal options here? I can't believe this would pass a code requirement but I am not sure how to find out. 

Is there a solution to get a legal expertise done ? 

The plumber is an LLC, accredited by the better business bureau

Thank you

Quote from @Scott Mac:

Did you use a licenced plumber?

Was he a master licenced plumber?

Does Arkansas require all plumbing work to be done by a licenced plumber?

When it goes below freezing will this pipe and the ones in the attic burst from the cold?

Looks like the the hole is not caulked--is that best in your area?

Just my 2 cents.

According to buildzoom.com, they are master licensed plumber. 

I am in Arkansas, we have freezing temperature a few days / year.
