Default Flex water line into concrete

This line was added (apparently) to provide water service to an ice maker on the other side of this exterior kitchen.

Problem or not?

Normally, isn't gas piping sleeved through concrete to allow gases to escape should there be a leak at some point?

So yes, I think I'll call out both.

You're up late Bob!

Same here. I figure I'd save a couple hundred bucks per month in gas if I moved further north. Seems most of my jobs recently are up there. Of course, property is WAY more expensive there so maybe it's not such a good idea

No its sleeved to prevent the concrete from corroding the metal piping and to prevent soil expansion and contraction from moving the piping
