Code for this pipe

Click Image to enlarge

This pipe comes through the foundation wall and through the footer. First there is no filling around the pipe that has been chopped thorugh the block. Second here is the code and the pipe is not installed as required. We also found that the clean out pipe had to be replaced as it was cracked on the bottom of the pipe under the clean out and seeping sewage into the ground


Cost to repair $179.00


Florida Building Code
305.5 Pipes through or under footings or foundation walls. Any pipe that passes under a footing or foundation wall shall be provided with a relieving arch, or a pipe sleeve. Pipe shall be built into the foundation wall. Such sleeve shall be two pipe sizes greater than the pipe passing through the wall.


I guess when we find the down draft pipe that is suppose to come out just below this one it will not have a sleeve either. That is if we ever find it? It appears to be under the slab and not terminated above ground anywhere.
