[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 161715, member: 816"] i got a few too. using copper pipe under a concrete floor to serve as a drain. also copper pipe in a wall to serve as a sewer gas vent. ever seen what happens to copper when it comes into contact with sewer gas? or maybe some draino? the first problem led to the digging up of about 20 feet of basement floor and an eventual complete remodel of said basement. the 2nd problem was revealed during an upstairs remodel and answered my question of why that particular bathroom always smelled a bit like gas. also... concrete cinder block stacked seam on seam. structurally super sound... not. another vent pipe cut off in the wall with a rag stuffed in to "close" it off and then covered with sheetrock. he also obviously had a drain field issue and was pumping it into the trees and pulled the pipe and pump a few months before he sold it. took me a few years to understand why there was a little depression in the form of a sunken trench running into the trees and a cut electrical wire sticking out of the pipe coming up from the septic tank. and the polarity in the wiring of the entire basement reversed. also the hot and cold of a particular faucet reversed. a light switch that appears to do nothing. i've tried for 7 years to figure it out. and we didn't touch that particular wall when we did the upstairs remodel because it will be done when we do an addition. so, i don't know what's behind the wall. best hope is that it will start a fire and burn that bitch to the ground someday when we and the dogs are gone. i think i've blocked a few other things out of my brain. but, they will probably come back to me eventually.
