The PVC pipe next to the gutter is a radon mitigation system.  Not for radon, but because my house sits atop a toxic waste dumping ground.  Well, not exactly, but that sounds impressive.  The underground water is contaminated with solvents cause some clever guys decided to dump them in the ground nearby and hundreds of houses have these things.  It's not very dangerous from all I've read but someone is paying a lot of money to do testing and keep these systems running.  They've got scrubbers underground cleaning up the water so in theory some day this thing can be turned off.  

They won't install the system into the new addition until they've done some testing and they find the levels are too high in that part of the house.  Then they'll retro fit it into house and make a mess.  Kinda annoying - I'd rather they just work with the builder and get the thing integrated into the project.  But nope, they aren't doing a thing unless the tests come back too high, which isn't likely to happen until the house is sealed up.
