Rest assured it is unusual. Your pipes met code when the house was built. Things do settle and this IS a sinkhole area but not quite as bad as near Tampa. Unused pipes laying dormant outside in the summer heat can build up a lot of sludge from tiny celled creatures growing in the dark. If you or anyone else is not a year rounder be ready to flush them out and my hubs uses drain cleaner every once in awhile.
