Read the OP again. He has no idea what the pipes were for, they MAY be for
sewage.
Face it, you blew it, recommending that he just block off the pipes without
knowing what they are for is a very bad idea!

You're talking about a sewer line.
Not a matter of cutting off a pipe of unknown contents.
The other two have been verified as not carrying sewage.
Perhaps I've misread the OP?
If so, in what way?

The sewage has been verified as only going in one of the pipes.
Yes, they are likely stubbed off downspout connections. Need
to be gone.
Do you see it some other way?


Yes. You may be surprised what they may be. A contractor working

on
building a garage for the home behind mine run into a pipe when he dug

the
foundations. He just broke it up and went on his way. When I flushed

my
toilet he came over to tell me to not do that it was flooding his
foundation. Well the city building department thought otherwise. He

had
to
stop his construction, patch the pipe and pay for my new sewer tap.

About
a
month later after the new sewer tap was in he was allowed to continue

his
work on the garage. The owner of that home was non-too happy with him.

You don't just cut of what you don't know, unless you are a fool.

Eliminate them. They need to be gone.

Don't you think it would be smart to find out what they are before
eliminating them? Just plugging them up is about the dumbest idea
I've heard in a while. All sorts of damage may occur if something
is draining into them, like downspouts.
