Plumbers broke through this foundation to add pipes, compromising the structural support of the home.

Right? Why not just pipe right around the support? It would have been easier.

That’s assuming you brought enough pipe

Crawlspace door maybe? I feel like there’s rarely just a hole like that.

Or perhaps the foundation was already busted, and the plumbing work happened after. Breaking through foundation wouldn't be easy, unlike adding a simple few more sections of pipe. Why would a plumber work twice as hard to do a worse job? Why should we trust the title of the post?

Nah, no way I'd run a drain through a broken foundation component 😅
