Woke up to a coating. But what is this spot? New to home ownership. Dryer vent is on the other side and septic is on the other side of the lawn.

Do you know why the driveway is patched at the end of the stone steps?  Might be related.  Where does the water come into the house?  Is it abnormally wet in this area?

If what your saying is correct and the tank and leaching field are on the other side of lawn, this may be an underground drywell of some sort for roof runoff.

Did realtor have plot plan of property? It should show where septic is. If not, I'd be asking the realtor. Otherwise, go into basement and see if u can trace the main house drain line. That will at least give you some idea as to what the melted spot may be. Septic should have been pumped as part of the house sale if not done recently

They have quite a pack up there, They should be ok.

Ya I'm thinking so too....just hoping for as little damage as possible as I'm leaving for St. Agatha a week from Wednesday.  As I said..glad they're getting this refresher today, cuz the more they have the less damage that can/should be done...

Would probably end up with minimal loss to what they already had.

Had 0.8" on 0.07" LE at 7 AM, and only light echoes since then, so the home front may fall short of 2" - forecast was 1-3.   Still enough for a somewhat messy commute, especially since it began at the far side of Farmington - fasting blood test at the hospital.  About 2.5" in Augusta when I arrived about 9:30.  Maybe 1/2" or so since then, with some real dendrites - mainly snow grains at home.

The main drain goes out that side but goes on a 45* angle across the lawn to get to the septic. Which is about 40' away from this spot.

Good catch. I just ran out and looked and those are actually just two cracks. No patch. Had me worried for a second. Water comes in from the back right so not related.

You should get your septic tank pumped. Maybe get the entire system tested?

It was just pumped in July and passed title 5 prior to us closing on it.

Thats your septic tank. Leaching field likely towards the street.

Leach field was a thought I had. My parents septic was in front of the house and the leached out in the side yard (had to go under driveway) occasionally one spot, especially when the system was older would look like that in a situation like this.

Additionally, the grass was always super high in that one spot
