    Probably a broken drain pipe. Plumbers do plumbing.

    No doubt it is a broken pipe. You'll have to obtain a reputable plumber and they will more than likely have do some digging. This can be costly.

    If you have a septic field and a lot of rain recently, it could also be some backflow, it which case it will eventually go away.
