Get a copy and take to a septic designer. Find out who constructed/installed septic system and speak with them.

There have been various designs of septic systems. From a 55 gallon drum to a 1200 gallon concrete double/triple chamber.

Any part of the system can fail. I view too many newer systems where the homeowner lets trees grow on top of the leach field.
Trees near the tank. Trees near the lines going from house to tank and such.

If this is a pump system find out when pump was changed.

A lot of variables involved.
This was for our home in Merrimack, NH. Where is the house you're asking for?
