The fact is, not all septic tanks in Ireland need to be upgraded.
If your septic tank is structurally sound and the percolation area is fit for purpose and there are no pollution issues then a complete upgrade or replacement may not be required. However, if your Septic Tank or Waste Water Treatment System is not working correctly you may need to upgrade or replace it.
