Low spot in basement

Hi BP community,

I was inside a house last night. And ran into something I have never seen. In the basement there is a low spot in the concrete floor that has some water in it. My contractor was not sure what could cause this.

There have been water issues in the basement before according to the disclosures. It looks like the water issues were related to a sewer backup. In addition there is a big tree outside the house that needs to come down. 

Does anyone know what would cause this low spot? Sewer leak? Tree root? Nothing big deal?
