    Probably an old septic system

    We think it’s possibly the worlds largest dry well.

    I’d say a septic tank...even though it’s clean and dry. Looks like it was set in with a crane. Just lucky they didn’t find it digging for the pool.

    I'd agree that it's probably an old septic tank.
    when they switched over to city sewer, the probably made them pump it out.
    Is there ports where pipes come in on each side? If so, it's an old septic tank.
    How long you had the place?

    6 years. This house was built in 1976. My buddy thinks it’s the dry well for my French drain. We are putting pavers over it. Just looking to be safe.

    My pool guy said “we would have just dig it up…..” 🤷🏻‍♂️

    A catchment would have been my second guess.
    Going to assume you now have a basement with a sump pump?
    If so, then they probably abandoned it when the pump was installed.

    If not, then if it is dry, did someone install a sealer system on the foundation?

    We do have a sump pump. I’m also assuming yes to the sealer.

    Yeah, it was probably a dry well.
    It was an alternative to running piping all the way to the street storm drainage systems.

    Safe to cover with pavers then?? It’s only about 4-5' across. I will tell you….I jumped on it…. It’s Fvcking solid.

    Hard to say, but usually they are 3-4 inch thick concrete, so as long as you aren't driving over it or putting supports on it, probably ok.
    But if the top cracks, there is a possibility of it caving in.
    Usually that only happens when someone drives over one or someone puts a building support on one.

    They are made with rebar and concrete, so they are pretty tough.
