    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 travels through the septic tank system, solid waste sinks to the bottom to undergo microbial digestion, while the fluid drains out of the tank to the leach drain and 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 utilised to seal the drain and keep debris at bay. This will aid in protecting against blockages and makes leach drains maintenance a lot more tough than it is.

    A leach drain doesn't have a common dimension. Dobson Excavations uses the anticipated quantity of fluid waste and the type of soil as a guide when suggesting the most effective leach drain dimension.
