You need a gas powered pressure washer to break up the clumps. Cut a piece of 3/4" plywood large enough to cover the access hole. Cut a hole large enough for the spray head, and blast away. Keep away from the sides of the tank to prevent damage to tank.
you're welcome. I've used power washers to dig post holes and extracting roots from shrubs and a Holly tree. The Holly tree root ball went down over three feet. Used a plastic bucket to confine the overspray and splashing; used a wet or dry vac to vaccumm up the slurry. Think of it as liquid dynamite.@@wheelrideforbeer
Thanks for the video. We hadn’t pumped ours in over 12 years.. ours was as bad as that one. I used to work out of town so I wasn’t at home when it was pumped years ago. I’m retired so I took a more hands on approach this time. I dug up the lid and had it ready for the pump truck. I installed a riser this time so I don’t have to do that again. Thanks to your videos and a few others, I’m more educated on the proper maintenance mainly pumping every 3-5 years. Thanks again for taking the time to help us DIYers out by making these videos!

Why does the hose spit the water back out sometimes?😂
Hi Karson - thanks for the comments - There's a lotta poop in there! It can't always handle the amount and needs to take a breath sometimes.
