I wonder how they repaired that, and who paid.
Remove pipe, replace the house, reinstall pipe.
Remove owner, remove pipe, replace the house, reinstall pipe, install new owner, otherwise it and even worse things will keep happening again. I'd hate to see how it's wired.
My dad used to have a little old house where the previous owner cut a notch like this through the main beam to run a PVC pipe for the toilet. We bridged the gap with a strip of steel plate and then braced it with a foundation jack. That wouldn't work with so many beams cut though.
