We just had a plumbing company redo the sewer pipe, and the water line coming into the house, all the way from the street. My question is whether or not leaving the pipe exposed outside, as you can see in the picture, is acceptable? The old pipe ran under the cinder blocks. I feel like they just did not want to dig a hole under the blocks. As you can see they did not secure the water faucet either. They just put a little caulk around it. I live in Georgia.
