Bushfire Resistant Wastewater Treatment Systems from BioSeptic

BioSeptic systems are bushfire resistant

We have sadly seen the affects of the devastating bushfires in NSW. An area that is being particularly impacted is the Blue Mountains. It has been around 19 years since the Blue Mountains have seen bushfires of this devastation. During the 1995 fires, a BioSeptic employee was part of the NSW Rural Fire Services and helped fight the fires in this area. As he and the other fire-fighters moved from property to property, they noticed a number of plastic septic tanks that had been destroyed and evaporated in the heat; leaving raw sewage in many backyards. Homeowners were faced with cleaning up the mess and the costs of installing a new system or tank, in addition to the heartache of losing their homes.

In the event of a fire, a plastic septic tank will melt in the heat just when you need it the most. What you need is a BioSeptic septic system that is durable and fire proof. BioSeptic wastewater treatment systems use long life concrete tanks and all treatment equipment is contained inside the tanks, preventing bushfire damage. The cover boxes and manholes on BioSeptic systems are also fire resistant. During past bushfires, even when the house was devastated by fire, the BioSeptic tanks withstood the heat.

In rural areas or where bushfires are a threat to homes, it is worth taking into consideration the sustainability of the type of wastewater treatment system you choose. If you have sadly been affected by the recent bushfires and have had your septic system destroyed, we can provide you with a wastewater system that will withstand any future fires. You can help save yourself money and inconvenience by installing a BioSeptic wastewater treatment system on your property.
