    Leach drains are installed to support septic tank systems. They are tube-like boxes made from concrete or plastic and have holes on its sides, which allow water to soak the surrounding ground. When wastewater travels through the septic tank system, solid waste sinks to the bottom to undergo microbial digestion, while the liquid drains out of the container 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 usually used to secure the drain and keep particles at bay. This will help in protecting against blockages and makes leach drains maintenance a lot more difficult than it is.

    A leach drain does not have a standard dimension. Dobson Excavations utilises the expected amount of liquid waste and the type of soil as a guide when recommending the most effective leach drain dimension.

    Leach Drain Maintenance Jarrahdale

    If the leach drain is not maintained properly, chances are, your leach drain repair Jarrahdale expense will be high, and it might include fixings to the septic tank too, which could be overwhelmed without the support of the leach drain.

    • Pump and clean the septic tank of residue at the very least two times or three times a year. The pumping frequency will depend upon the dimension of the container, the size of your household, and the disposal rate.
    • Protect the septic tank system by avoiding the disposal of fabric softener, bleaches, heavy detergents, and biocides right into it. These create scum that can block the septic tank system, and eventually affect the features of the leach drains Jarrahdale
    • Avoid getting rid of non-biodegradable materials right into the drain.
