Hello everyone,
I bought a 1980 home with what appears to be a homemade septic system. It hasnt given me any problems at all in the last 4 years, but I would like to access it just to fulfill my curiosity and in case it needs pumped someday. The two 6" access ports were filled with cement at some point. I've attached a couple of pics of the 9.5' X 6.5' tank lid. Any info that can be ascertained from these pics would be much appreciated. Also any tips on removing that concrete. I drilled a hole in one and it looks to be at least 6" thick. I also hacked away at it with chisels, cutting discs..etc, but there has to be a better way.

Thanks again.
