After inspecting the pump tank, proceed to the sludge tank. Use a cordless impact driver to unscrew and remove its lid. Observe the contents of the sludge tank; often, a thick crust forms on the surface. To prepare the sludge for pumping, use a 'Crust Buster' tool, which is a specialized mechanical agitator, to break up these thick solid layers. This makes the sludge more liquid and easier for the vacuum truck to pump out effectively.
