I would call another electrical contractor (licensed, insured, bonded, the bigger the company the better...) for a second opinion.

Maybe even call a third. [Linked Image]

Bonding the water lines is a "bandaid" that can be used for a very temporary "fix" but this does not seem to be the case in your situation. It will not cure the problem. It will not turn a non-GFCI circuit into a GFCI circuit. His "fix" may have even turned a potential electrocution hazard into an electrocution and fire hazard.

This is a very dangerous situation and cannot be cured through online help.

Please get a very professional (cost no object) additional opinion(s).

In sincerety,
-Virgil
