Going to look at a house with a mound drain field in the back yard. Will of course get an inspection if we purchase, but anything I could look for as a sign of issues before that?

Also, has anyone seen where a mound was needed when first put in but replaced with a more traditional system not needing a mound? Many houses in the neighborhood do not have mounds but a few do. Not sure as to why that is the case, would have thought all around would have same soil/water table levels.

Thanks in advance, and appreciate any insight that can be given!
