    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 enable water to soak the surrounding ground. When wastewater goes 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 pieces are usually utilised to seal the drain and keep particles at bay. This will assist in preventing obstructions and makes leach drains maintenance even more hard than it is.

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