    Leach drains are installed to support septic tank systems. They are tube-like boxes made of concrete or plastic and have holes on its sides, which enable water to soak the surrounding ground. When wastewater goes through the septic tank system, solid waste sinks to the bottom to undertake bacterial digestion, while the fluid flows out out of the container to the leach drain and right into the dirt.

    A diverter valve links the leach drain to the septic tank. When the installation of the leach drain is complete, concrete pieces are usually made use of to seal the drain and keep particles at bay. This will help in preventing obstructions and makes leach drains maintenance much more hard than it is.
