We live in a house built in 1923 so I can relate to you folks. But the guy next door has a house built in the 19th Century, and HE had a problem. He came out the back door one night to let his little poodle, who was blind, out to do her business. The little dog scampered out - and disappeared. He heard a splash and ran to get a flashlight. This revealed the litttle dog swimming frantically in a LARGE pool of water where his back porch used to be. Turned out that an old cistern that he didn't know was there had collapsed, taking his entire back porch with it. He had to pay for fill and foundation repairs. And a new back porch.
