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.

I fail to see what the advantage is of running pipe nearly on the ground from the point through the roof.
If you’re moving that much are they using rubber garden hose?
I would think the location of the pipe would nt matter since it would break and leak no matter what.
How does the sewer work if it’s up in the air?
