This photo is hard to see, but what it is, is a cast iron drain on the side of the sewer line. I have never seen this before and wonder if anyone else may know why it is there. The crawlspace has a lot of water issues but I think mostly due to a high water table and poor drainage. Their was no sewer smell ether. The drain also has a trap on it.

Yes you are probably right, the water level has gotten pretty high in crawlspace. There was mud on top of the sewer line. The buyer is going to put a new vapor barrier down, and install a sump.

Larry,
It may also be benefical to put 2 or 3 " of clean 3/8 gravel on top of the barrier.1, to keep the barrier from floating and 2,to keep excess mud out of the sump pump.
