The first photo shows damage from hail. Good news is that those are the old leaves, new ones grow from the center of the rosette. Soon it will have lovely new leaves.

The second container really does look waterlogged. If it were mine, I would take all the living rosettes from the container and replace all of the soil. You can use Fox Farm Ocean Forest for your planting mix. I would add some coarse sand or pumice to it. Always top dress with either #2 chicken grit or 1/4" minus that has been washed.
It is rare that we need to water our semps here in the Portland area. I water in our drought months sparingly.
I hope this was helpful. Smiling
