NFPA 13, 2002 ed., section 10.6. The condition you describe is not compliant; what it says is that where piping runs under footing to enter the building, it shall be run "adjacent to the foundation" (10.6.3). Where that's not possible, it shall be permitted to run "as close as practical" to footings, exterior walls, etc. such that you "minimize underground piping under the building" (10.6.4)

I have a contractor that ran the 6" main under the floor for over 30', I know about arching the foundation and etc. but I thought there was still a distance limitation, any help?
