We had that a couple of years ago here. A contractor I know had taken a chimney out of a very old house here and not patched the hole in the roof. 8" of rain in two or three days soaked the ground in the crawl space and collapsed an old laid stone foundation and it blew out.

He was working on the job t and m and the owner never realized that he had screwed up and just kept paying him to work on the house.
