Ed, you are likely right. I have a cabin that sits 125 yds away from a river called S. Fork Flambeau River in NW WIs. It is 125 yds from the water and it sliding toward the river. In 34 yrs it has moved about 16" toward the river. It is on pilasters however , and not a basement , but still, you would think they would know better than build on that soft dirt.

Hmm, explain all the homes that are on steep hillsides around the mediterranean that have never slid down a hill. Some of these homes have been there for centuries.

The houses are likely on rock. Like I said, I have a cabin 125 yds from the water and it is still sliding to the river . It slid about 12" , maybe more in 25 yrs. It is very loamy soil though .

Exactly. No one in their right mind puts it on dirt unless of course they spend a ton on underpinnings which would really jack up the price.

Years ago, I lived in Boise. I had a co-worker who owned a house on a steep hillside. When they excavated for the house, they put the dirt on the downhill side and made a lawn on it. After a few years, we had a very wet winter. The ground soaked up and come spring, the entire lawn just slide down the hill. It left the house undamaged but right on the edge of a steep dropoff.

Simple fact: gravity will win.

Insurance don’t cover that. Sometimes I see these places and think good hell how did you think the side of a hill was a great building lot.

The builder "Edge Homes" also has several other homes that are sinking, in other parts of Utah, on flat ground lots. Coincidence? You be the judge...
