You're probably right. In the trailer park where my Grandma Thelma used to live, whole lots were sinking spongily into decomposing brush and trees. You'd walk around the yard and feel it giving way beneath you.

And it's happened to a neighbor of ours whose house was thrown up quickly a few years ago while the local building inspector was in the hospital. The people who built it used the trees they'd cut down as fill and dug a pond to disguise the water issues on the lot. I'm told their basement is a real mess.
