In Malaysia, septic tanks are a lifeline for many households, quietly managing the sewage generated daily.

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.
