Hi,
We were connected to mains drainage about 5 years ago. We had the old septic tank emptied at the time but weren't really sure if we needed to do anything else.
I noticed that the inspection /manhole cover is now rusting through - it crumbles to the touch. It does have an old paving slab over it so no immediate problem.
Do i just buy a new cover and leave it as is? I have been told a few horror stories lately about unused tanks collapsing or "Rising up through lawn".
Thanks
