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

Is it possible to track down the plumbers and hold them accountable?

I'm guessing they're not licensed or insured so even if you find them you'll never get any money out of them because all of their money goes to meth or fentanyl

I mean, I'm a plumber, and the actual plumbing work here is acceptable - I'd rate it 'not bad".

But for some godforsaken reason, they put in that 4x2 combo at a really dumb spot. How they decided smashing the cinder block was the way to go? That one I can't figure.

So, yeah, probably a meth addict.

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 😅
