    Leach drains are installed to support septic tank systems. They are tube-like boxes constructed from concrete or plastic and have holes on its sides, which permit water to soak the surrounding ground. When wastewater passes through the septic tank system, solid waste sinks to the bottom to undertake microbial digestion, while the liquid flows out out of the tank to the leach drain and right into the soil.

    A diverter valve links the leach drain to the septic tank. When the installation of the leach drain is complete, concrete slabs are typically made use of to secure the drain and keep particles away. This will aid in preventing blockages and makes leach drains maintenance much more tough than it is.

    A leach drain does not have a common dimension. Dobson Excavations uses the anticipated quantity of liquid waste and the kind of soil as a guide when recommending the most effective leach drain dimension.

The outcome will be a foul odour which will eventually get to the surface.

    Leach Drain Maintenance Armadale
