I would talk with a lawn service or a lawn professional. based on the pictures, I do believe you have other problems.

I think putting top soil down might be the solution and some people have suggested peat moss to absorb some of the water. the ground is always very wet, the roots are exposed, the grass won't grow. the first picture is the area that is bald and very wet.

Most of that damage appears to be from cinch bugs.

Agree and maybe fungus now.

It will take a year or two to recover, resodding may be more cost effective if the areas is small.

Up north St Augustine is called crabgrass. Once you start tugging on it it continues to unravel. you;re asking for trouble when you dethatch. In some cases aeration can help.
