    Leach drains are installed to support septic tank systems. They are tube-like boxes made of 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 bacterial digestion, while the fluid drains out of the container 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 pieces are commonly utilised to seal the drain and keep particles away. This will help in preventing obstructions and makes leach drains maintenance even more hard than it is.

    A leach drain does not have a common size. Dobson Excavations uses the anticipated quantity of fluid waste and the type of soil as a guide when suggesting the very best leach drain size.
