I had some buried hot pipes in a house I had years ago, the wall would always crack, not sure if thats normal or not....
They were probably not insulated and wrapped as they ought to be.
Probably
All of my pipes are either surface, and visible, or hidden by cupboards, boxed in. In the kitchen, I planned the runs, to be hidden behind cupboard, in the hall, I have two heating pipe drops, one either side of the door, with the boxing in carefully disguised.
I think that essentially now the norm, and probably has been for quite a long time. However, if one goes back a few decades, then pipes buried in walls (solid or 'hollow') were seemingly more common - and it's one of those which I once hit with a drill
(fortunately, it was a thick-walled steel pipe, so I didn't penetrate it!)
I presume this is an old house, with the soil pipe on the outside, and no plumbing duct.
Last time I had one, I ran the pipe inside a cupboard.
