Early 1900's Victorian property with poured concrete at the side. I plan to get rid of the whole thing because 1) aesthetic choice, but more importantly 2) it's bridging DPC (if there even is one...) and causing damp issues. I'd rather take it all up than cut a channel.

I don't know when the concrete was added, but it looks to me like they poured around cast iron foul drain pipe and added a waste gully to perhaps tie in somehow.

What's my best path forward to avoid damaging any plumbing that is below this concrete?
