A 50 year old, 3” cast iron sewer pipe has been pouring sewage through two quarter-size holes for at least three weeks, possibly as long as 6 months.
I’m finding a plumber to replace the cast iron with PVC, but I want to clean the space also.
The floor is dirt / rock covered with plastic sheeting. The pool of sewage is hard to estimate because I haven’t crawled around the entire space to inspect, but it’s probably between 10 and 40 gallons.
Can I pump this out with an electric pump? Can it go into directly into my septic tank? Do I need to replace the plastic?
