They appear like they should be catching water from the gutter.

Will you split the water line and add a second meter?

We might have the AC units inspected if the property was 15+ years old, make sure the water heater is less than 6 years old, that kind of thing. 

I moved in with no heat, no water, and a very poor electrical situation but by this time i was working for my mentors construction company and had an abundance of resources at my disposal.

To answer your question I've never counted, but over the many years this seems to be something that pops up, along with missing furnaces, and missing hot water heaters. 

@David C.About once a year, I post about finding some absurd amount of money inside the wall of a foreclosed house or behind a water heater in a dark basement.

Water bills are up 50% to 100%, electric bills are up 33% and gas bills are up 30%, and of course tax bills are up and new bills for new items are created. 

The tenants were out for 24 hours and came back found it and the water had already flooded out to the floor and the ceiling of 1st floor.

Our highest bidder, a downtown-based construction GC business, could not tell us what grade of lumber was quoted, would not share what brand of garage doors they used ("local vendors"), would not identify their steel beam and column supplier or water service vendor.
