Hello,
I am trying to find the access to pump my septic tank but I do not see the normal round concrete access points shown on most septic tanks that I look up. According to the drawing from the last cert. It has a slab lid. This will be the first time that I am pumping it, that's why I'm not sure. Am I supposed to remove the concrete slabs on top? Please see picture and drawing attached. Thanks in advance!
 
Yes, removing those slabs will expose your septic. Be very careful, and don't stand on them. Maybe get a friend to help you lift. If you break them, I'm not entirely sure if you can replace them anymore
 
The guys that come and pump your tank will lift them for you. You only need to open one wich I recommend the front incase you have any blockage or buildup in your inlet line. You may want to re rout that water line or whatever is running over all the lids.
