A stinky nuisance: When septic tanks burst


In Malaysia, septic tanks are a lifeline for many households, quietly managing the sewage generated daily. However, beneath the surface lies a ticking time bomb: The possibility of a septic tank burst. This alarming scenario can unleash a host of health hazards, environmental damage and a drastic drop in property value. Ignoring the implications of such an event is a gamble that homeowners and property owners cannot afford to take.
