Yeah, you got to wonder how long this would go unnoticed.
Until the floor started showing signs of cracks or just collapsed. Those aren't just notched out they're completely cut through along with the drain line to the left. Lord knows what the rest of the plumbing through the crawl space looks like but I'm guess the same.

Some folks are lazy and cut corners. My new home first task, crawl under the house and look for issues. Found several:

2x4's connected to floor joists and angled at 45 degrees into the dirt! Prime termite interstate! Left over when footers and joist laid out!

Water pipes no insulated! It was raining under there! Condensation was forming on all the lines. In the humid south it is a must to keep mold and termites under control. Took the bride and myself 3 hours to cover all the water lines.

Inexpensive and easy work that should have been done by the builder.

There were more but these were the most important.

Even if he had a straight shot home, it also has to be super flat.
