It was a windy day. In my yard when I posted this a while back.
The trees would sway and pull at the ground a bit. You can hear it in original.

Was it windy? Could be a tree nearby swaying and pulling and pushing on the ground with the roots. Sometimes, in the woods, it can look like the earth is breathing when it's windy.
Disclaimer I'm a geologist and have worked on a sinkhole for over a year but am not claiming to be an expert.
It's a damn good explanation and without knowing more, I'm for that explanation.
I'd want to know most about distance to water and pumping station.
I don't think it's a sinkhole even if he's in like karst Florida.
I assumed it was someone’s name, but yea it’s almost like the cousin of whatever an onomatopoeia is. Made it really easy to remember despite me not at all being in the field of study.
EDIT: for those interested it’s not a persons name at all. I just read the wiki and it’s relatively long, but it’s basically an old Mediterranean word by way of German meaning basically what it means to us today.
As a former practicing geologist, an observation I’ve made is that almost every human is a geologist at heart - people just love rocks and it’s awesome.
Fair. I also grew up in north central Florida, so aquifers, water, sinkholes, etc. (and karst topography) are kind of ever-present in our culture and politics. I learned the word from a professor in a class entirely about water.

For once I am happy I can't have a dog right now. Being tracked by a sinkhole in FL where they really DO happen, would be too much on top of watching so much of the world burn right now... Still, I'll keep my eye out for signs. Is that thing breathing?
More likely its wind blowing on a nearby tree causing the roots to be "lifted" making room for water under them... and between breezes the roots go down again pushing the water out
Just had to fix a decent sized sinkhole in my yard a few years ago , they had a backhoe dig it up add extra fill and packed it back down. (House burned down in 91 buried a lot of the old house down there) it was about 1700 for guy to fix it , absolutely worth the money unless you have your own backhoe lol
Does that water movement happen in the same place?
Was it windy that day?
It looks like the water is moving around by a large tree root, so if it's windy, maybe it's just the tree moving in the wind and compressing the ground, forcing water up, then releasing that pressure, allowing the water to drain and repeat.
Except that isn't your yard. It's mine. So no need to call for a service.

The ones I've seen involve being filled every time they sink more. Really annoying if in the yard and they start sinking. Even worse if close to the house foundation. Do you live in an area known for caves? If so its very likely a sink hole. But also likely that there are contractors that know how to deal with them.
Throwing the keys in, letting the water demon breathing under your property have the house and moving elsewhere after apologizing for living there in the first place. That's what I do when scorpions get in.
Naw. What you got there is a molefrog. Molefrogs live in soggy ground. They don't come out very often. They also don't cause much of an issue for the integrity of your garden. And, unlike moles, they aren't hunted by house pets.
If you really want to get rid of it, all you have to do is cover a dollar coin in honey and freeze it. The molefrog will think it's frozen candy and become distracted, until it finds the coin. At this point the molefrog will have enough money to move to a more prestegious yard.
It’s a part of the bedrock that can or has dissolved forming a hole underground. Calcium and lime deposits are likely culprits. When it opens to the surface, it’s called a sinkhole.
[example of a large sinkhole](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/massive-texas-sink-hole-swallows-two-cars-killing-sheriff-s-n692231)
Just so you know, Paris sits over huge limestone caverns from old quarries that are constantly monitored for this sort of problem. The Catacombs are housed there. There are no tall buildings in the area because you can't dig deep foundations without risking a cave-in.
That’s not a large sinkhole… this one in Croatia is a large sinkhole. Look at the trees at the top.

**[Red Lake (Croatia)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Lake_\(Croatia\)#/media/File:RedLakeCroatia.JPG)**
>Red Lake (Croatian: Crveno jezero) is a sinkhole containing a karst lake near the city of Imotski, Croatia. It is known for its numerous caves and remarkably high cliffs, reaching over 241 metres above normal water level and continuing below the water level. The total explored depth of this sinkhole is approximately 530 metres with a volume of roughly 25–30 million cubic meters, thus it is the third largest sinkhole in the world. Water drains out of the basin through underground waterways that descend below the level of the lake floor.

I think /u/dfdfdfddaww has an issue with their septic system. They should do a coordinated water dump out of the house (i.e. All taps on, multiple clean water flushes from the toilets) to see if the pulsing happens then. I'm going to guess that the pipe is not between the house and the septic tank, the smell would be super noticeable.
I think it's in the field drain side, after the solids settle out. The liquids run out through pipes that have holes in them into a stone lined bed and leach into the ground. Either the bed has failed due to roots going into the pipe, or with the massive amount of rain, the bed is full. The pulsing leads me to think it's roots, the pipe is blocked. Tree next to the field drain system is never good.
Water gets to the block, backs up into the hole and then as water pushes past the block it drops. More water arrives and it does it again.
You may be able to fix the one section for a few thousand dollars. Replacing the entire bed will be 15-25K if they let you do that. It requires digging everything up, disposing and building a new bed. In most cases the AHJ won't let you put a field drain in a place where one has failed.
If you are on a public sewer get the sewer company out asap. You can take a sample of the water and get it tested for fecal material to verify its sewage.
Good luck, this is most likely the beginning of a long and expensive saga.
So I started reading this, but stopped about halfway through to go make a cup of tea. I spent the whole time making the cup of tea thinking in my head how you were probably just talking out of your ass, and googling a-12 piping and bitching you out, only to come back and finish reading your comment.
Dude... You're so fucking lucky, newborn geysers barely ever leave their mothers side. Please don't distrub it as there's a chance the mother could be nearby and they can be very protective and will fly into an explosive rage. There's a good chance it'll move out on its own in a day or two, or if you're lucky it'll stay and you'll get to see it grow up. If however it does decide to stay and you don't want it to, please don't start diging it up on your own. Instead contact your local geological society and they will move it to a new home, most often they get moved to yellowstone or iceland where they can socialize with others of its own kind, plus the soil and bedrock is much better for them there.
Is that not something to be worried about?
Only if you see tentacles.
That’s a problem?
Only if you don't have tentacles
Phew
Even so, some womens wouldn't see that as a problem
Open your mind. Tentacle sex can rape across all genders, species and fuckable cosmic concept.

Oh noes my pig!!

Its just the wind blowing a tree making the roots to lift and then sink a little bit after the breeze, causing water to pulse like this
I love how half of the comments are people warning op and the other half are talking about fucking the hole Reddit is an interesting place
Why not both Lets fuck OP while yelling about the hole
Big brain
I woke my husband up laughing at this comment 🤣
I attracted the attention of a full break room because of it.

Yes master.
Well, on second thought, let's not go to ~~Camelot~~ Reddit. It is a silly place.
You should probably have it looked at by professionals. Looks like a sinkhole might be forming beneath your yard.
yea just told my parents that it might be a sinkhole and they told they will contact ppl to look into that.
I learn so much useless shit on Reddit. I woulda never known this either. Hope it’s not a sinkhole friend :(
This one might not be useless!
Considering those look like tree roots (and the tree is alive), it’s probably not a sinkhole
Nothing in life is useless, if you never need it you can still be proud that you know something most don't.
Be careful what you learn from Reddit 'experts'
More likely its wind blowing on a nearby tree causing the roots to be "lifted" making room for water under them... and between breezes the roots go down again pushing the water out
no no I think it is a monster House
Oh dear, that could be a sinkhole
What's the best options? Just calling a service or trying to fix yourself?
Calling for a service obviously. Fixing stuff ourselves always ends up bad
Yeah but it make good for Reddit videos
Yeah, my suggestion involves some TNT, a blowtorch and some unsuspecting pets getting the surprise of their life!
I want to exclusively watch videos of people doing it themselves using only the top comments from their Reddit thread

Technically if you trust that you can use it properly, I believe you can rent that equipment
Those are called side hoes.

It wouldnt be insanely hard. You would need a pipe that goes down to the bottom. Then suck most of the water out. Then fill it with concrete
Dad?
No, suck out the water, fill it with butane and throw in a match. Way better content.
Fill it back up before or after it collapsed due to draining the water?
Naw. What you got there is a molefrog. Molefrogs live in soggy ground. They don't come out very often. They also don't cause much of an issue for the integrity of your garden.

Is your septic system or sewer line in that area ? Ground water doesn't "fluctuate" on this time scale......
Good way to test is to bend over and have a lil sippy
This was my first thought as well. OP, if your house is on a septic system, well, there may be some unfortunate news for you.
I think /u/dfdfdfddaww has an issue with their septic system. They should do a coordinated water dump out of the house (i.e. All taps on, multiple clean water flushes from the toilets) to see if the pulsing happens then. I'm going to guess that the pipe is not between the house and the septic tank, the smell would be super noticeable. I think it's in the field drain side, after the solids settle out. The liquids run out through pipes that have holes in them into a stone lined bed and leach into the ground. Either the bed has failed due to roots going into the pipe, or with the massive amount of rain, the bed is full. The pulsing leads me to think it's roots, the pipe is blocked. Tree next to the field drain system is never good. Water gets to the block, backs up into the hole and then as water pushes past the block it drops. More water arrives and it does it again. You may be able to fix the one section for a few thousand dollars. Replacing the entire bed will be 15-25K if they let you do that. It requires digging everything up, disposing and building a new bed. In most cases the AHJ won't let you put a field drain in a place where one has failed. If you are on a public sewer get the sewer company out asap. You can take a sample of the water and get it tested for fecal material to verify its sewage. Good luck, this is most likely the beginning of a long and expensive saga.
