If my house was a modern house the water pipes would have been in the celling.

Putting the pipes under the house, not even in protective sleeves is just corrosion waiting to happen.

Besides copper pipes under my house with no protection my house has galvanized nipples connecting all the valves and cast iron sewage pipes. All this in a house a half mile from the ocean.

Building codes have been changed, but my house is old.
