It seems to be in an odd spot too. Where is it coming from and where is it going after the bend?

I believe it goes directly out of my house to the gas meter. It's sealed that way because there's basically a hole in the wall where it goes outside the house. Since the whole basement is unfinished, this was just left the way it was when they finished installing stuff??

I cleaned it periodically this past winter and painted it with rustoleum and that's stopped any issues.

Sounds about right. What were you using to clean the pipe with SCUD?
