Unfortunately this can happen during storms or periods of intense rain.
Dry well not draining.
With uncontrolled storm water you can expect erosion and localized flooding time and time again.
Dry wells are just one means by which homeowners can collect and control storm water runoff.
A dry well handling runoff from large areas may need to be massive to properly store all the water.
You should of filled the tub and surrounding area with gravel dirt just compacts and doesnt drain.
The flexible black plastic drain line is cheap and asy to use so run 2 one for downspouts and a seperate one to a gravel bed in the problem area just the gravel bed area should be perforated the balance solid pipe.
The most common problem with a dry well is that over time lint solids soap and scum in waste water can clog the openings of the well s walls and the pores of the surrounding soil.
We have seen however some contractors still using drywells as their primary method of getting rid of water.
In that case it.

Over time dry wells may become clogged with sediment or other debris.
Do you have a downhill space to drain too.
Although they would probably disagree with me i do not believe drywells are a good way of getting rid of unwanted water.
Eventually these clogs prevent water from draining and filtering into the groundwater altogether.
