Wet or Squishy Spots in the Yard
Wet or Squishy Spots in the Yard
Embedded Files
A wet, muddy, or squishy spot in the yard can be easy to overlook, especially after rain. But if one area stays wet when the rest of the yard is dry, it may be a sign of a plumbing, drainage, irrigation, sewer, or septic concern.
What a Wet Yard Spot Could Mean
Possible causes may include:
• A leaking water service line
• A sewer line issue
• A septic concern
• An irrigation leak
• A leaking outdoor faucet or hose bib
• Downspout or yard drainage problems
• A low spot in the yard holding water
Things to notice:
• Is the spot always wet?
• Does it get worse when water is used inside?
• Is there a sewage smell?
• Is the grass unusually green in that area?
• Has your water bill gone up?
• Is water bubbling, pooling, or moving?
• Is it near the water meter, sewer line, septic area, or outdoor faucet?
If the spot is new, spreading, smells bad, or comes with a higher water bill, it is worth having it checked.
