What's significant movement? In Bakersfield, out in the oil fields, the pipe can grow/move as much as 3 foot on a really hot day. They have something called an Ohms loop every 300 yards or so to negate that movement.

If your house is moving so much that some sort of strain relief / flex system is required, I can see the point of not allowing it to run through the moving foundation from a fixed point. Do the wells move also? How about the sewer system or is it just houses only.
