Replacing a septic tank - Guesstimate for budget

Can one increase the number bedrooms of permitted on septic with only a larger tank?

Does the larger tank require a larger leach field?

Upthesaukee said it correctly in that you may have to meet current Code, so check with your Code Officer. When we had work done several years ago the work had to be in compliance with current Code.

I totally agree; after all, let's be real, we are dealing with waste, no matter how you spell it or pronounce it, waste is waste.
