What purpose is there for 8 terra cotta pipes buried underground?
I was digging to bury conduit and found 8 8inch terra cotta pipes buried underground on my property. This intrigues me, can someone explain what these might be for? I found Eight 8 inch terra cotta pipes laying side by side about 24 inches underground, the house was built in the 1930's. Also forgot to mention the house sits on property that was a dairy farm in the 30's and 40's.
Most likely they are some drain line. They maybe carrying away the water from either downspouts or some peripheral drainage system. Of course, if your house is old enough, it may be a clay main drain line.
