I am sorry for what happened, but I do think you dropped the ball first. If you are not in the area for emergencies (temporarily or normally), you really should have someone dependable who can act on your behalf.

It's really nice if you can find someone who is knowledgeable about landlording or maintenance, but what is most important is that you have someone you can rely on to be there when needed.

Did you talk to the plumber after he assessed the situation and before the work was done? If the situation was not as bad as you were lead to believe, the plumber should have informed you where things were at.
