member deleted Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Any ideas what the hose would be for? This is a standard garden hose that goes through the poured foundation wall at the rear of the home. It is cut and is hanging free (not attached to anything) in the utility area of the basement. There is a low deck on the back of the home, so I could not see where this hose came out of the foundation. I could not find it on the exterior anywhere. -Kevin Image Insert: 233.88 KB Image Insert: 241.8 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozofprev Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Don't ya love finding stuff like that? I found something similar years ago. The owners said they, "put that there so they could run electric to an in-ground pool they were hopin' to get." Problem is they never got the pool but when it rained, water came in through the opening, creating an indoor pool. I just put it in my report, disclaim its purpose, and state possible problems.

John Dirks Jr Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Gary's explanation makes sense. Here is another posibility; If you have a house that was originally well water but now has city water, this hose could have been used to supply well water for washing cars and watering lawns and stuff. An effort to keep the water bill down. City water in the house for everything else and still use the well on the exterior. Gary's explanation still sounds better/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fqp25 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Was there an underground irrigation system? Or something that would require water from the potable water supply? It could be a discharge drain from a RPZ or other back flow preventer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Kibbel Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Backwash discharge from a water treatment system? Exhaust tube for after the bong hits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 How about as a "country conduit" for some kind of cable (TV, phone, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Kubs Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Just a guess here - This is a relatively new 1980-1990's development home??? To answer your question it's a "could be any damned thing and has no valid purpose for anything" thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
