Good Morning,
I found a 4" PVC Pipe sticking out of the ground underneath my deck. Is this a vent or some kind of access point? Should it have some kind of vented cap or 180 degree elbow on it? It just seems strange to have an open pipe sticking up but I have no idea how a septic mound works. The pipe is about 5' away from the basement wall. It extends 34" above the ground. If I turn the sink on, I can go out and hear running water so I know it is connect to the line going to the tank. I've never noticed a smell or anything strange in that area. I'm just curious what its for and why it would be wide open.
Thanks
