    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 undertake microbial digestion, while the liquid drains out of the tank to the leach drain and right into the soil.

    A diverter valve connects the leach drain to the septic tank. When the installation of the leach drain is complete, concrete slabs are usually used to seal the drain and keep debris away. This will aid in protecting against blockages and makes leach drains maintenance even more challenging than it is.

    A leach drain doesn't have a standard dimension. Dobson Excavations makes use of the anticipated amount of liquid waste and the type of soil as a guide when suggesting the most effective leach drain dimension.
