Default What would you write

Older small house. 6 inches of crawl in some areas, so the plumbing was ran outside the home. Just a kitchen and bathroom. What do you say??

I would write what I saw. Don't know that I would call it a "defect", but I would certainly point it out...

There are precautions that need to be taken. But, no, not a defect. Not best practice either.
