We found the hot spot so we didn’t have to put holes all over the wall.https://www.amazon.com/Seek-Thermal-Compact-Imager-iOS-Apple/dp/B00NYWABAA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?

Even if you have flat soil underneath, you need to compact it to make sure there won’t be settlement.

It is a lovely thing to see an inch of dust on it, that means that the market is doing well this year.Nowadays (in this business) the process is much more compact and less detailed but we still look at it. 

An area where the soil is very compact? 

Leaving all your belongings, clothes, tooth brush, etc does not appear to be abandonment.When did he last pay rent?

I have found many houses that from Zillow shots look great only to find the house has burned down or has a hole the size of a compact car in the back of the house which is not noticeable from the street view. 

There's an article about the best compact washer/dryers.

Most likely, if is a newer house, is build under compacted granular soil with some sort of concrete foundation (slab or combo with piers/grade beams). 

The way to make it slightly better is to remove the 30 inch standard range that's there and put in a 20-inch compact range, pushing it out away from the cabinet until it's even with the outside wall.

@Yehonatan Baran yeah being from 1950s this is generally from poor soil compaction when the home was originally built and has been like this for years.
