I bought this home in 2011 and the spot in the yard was present but has grown since then. I usually only deal with it in the spring time when it stays wet for months in end. Once summer hits, it dries up and the only time I notice it is if it rains for several days. As you can see, nothing grows on it until it dries up in summer time and then its usually crab grass.
This spot is almost at the bottom of our yard, rather decent slope. There are no other spots in our yard and the septic system as a whole seems fine. No backing up in the house, all plumbing is functioning normal. Once thing to note, our household increased in size from 3 to 5, 4 years ago. We added two teenage girls that take a ridiculous amount of showers.
Ive beem reading up on septic leakage and draining. What are you thoughts on why the one large spot? Backed up drainage in other areas that force all the water down this drain pipe? Bad soil? We do have lots of clay.
Ill be calling out a professional soon, just want some ideas before they arrive.
