Can someone describe the configuration of a typical septic system built in 1946. Would it have cast iron components or mainly clay tile. The tank appears to be in good condition . I know where the leach field is located but can find no D box. Would there be a curtain drain or some sort of an overflow bypass. I am considering purchasing this Fannie Mae repo. I am familiar with the configuration of systems built over the past 20 years but not that far back. I did speak with the local health dept and no records from its installation. The san tech explained many of these system had an overflow or bypass that may be tied into a field tile. This is in Ohio farm country. Can a system this old still be working or is it just going from tank thru some bypass into a field tile and dumped miles away. Thanks for any help.
