Using a specialized tool like the T&T Top Popper, the heavy concrete septic tank lids are carefully lifted. Below the main lid, internal baffle caps are also removed.

The inspection reveals significant root intrusion and sludge in the outlet line, indicating a severe blockage, and confirms the presence of an existing inlet baffle.
