I am replacing an old toilet ejection system in basement used for toilet, sink, and shower only. It has a metal basin 24†deep and 24†round with 2 two covered access holes in the basin top. The pump extends down through one of the holes with motor sitting on top of the basin. I have no problem removing the whole pump mechanism and disconnecting the waste and vent pipes.
My problem is that I need to remove the entire metal basin. It’s similar to a half a 55-gallon drum buried in my basement floor. I thought the whole thing was rusted out but, now that I am trying to take it, it’s not that easy. I have broken up the concrete skirt around the perimeter and removed about 3-4" of soil from around top of basin.
Has anyone else had to tackle something like this? Any tips on the best way to get this basin out of there? Anything I should watch out for? I would appreciate any suggestions anyone would care to offer. Thanks.
