Heres the situation - my home used to have an oil room holding one of
those large steel tanks.

whoever removed the tank didnt fully remove the metal attaching to the
tank ( small bits visible ) but the big problem is that the cement used
to cover the hole is very uneven and raised a few inched from the level
of the rest of the basement

The section is about 2.5 X 1.5 feet right against the wall. im not sure
if its releveant but sections of this cement look discoloured - old oil
maybe?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you feel like telling us what your objective is,
or should we just guess?
