Four years ago a neighbor in our former village had 2 sink holes along side and in back of the home. The holes were plugged with concrete and filled in. Then large holes (looked like at least 6 to a side) were bored in to angle under the home on all 4 sides and concrete was pumped in, apparently to fill in and support the slab. A neighbor told me that at least 15 truck loads were needed to just fill the holes drilled. I noticed all seemed to be fine when I recently drove past that property.
I assume the owner will have to disclose in event of a resale. While I would hesitate to buy it, it probably sits a lot more solid than its neighbors.
