    Leach drains are installed to support septic tank systems. They are tube-like boxes made from concrete or plastic and have openings 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 go through bacterial digestion, while the liquid drains out of the container to the leach drain and into the dirt.

This will help in protecting against blockages and makes leach drains maintenance much more tough than it is.
