Frequently Asked Questions About Septic & Sewer Services

Most septic systems should be inspected regularly and pumped as needed based on the size of the tank, the number of people in the household, and how much wastewater your home produces. If you’re experiencing slow drains, sewage odors, backups, or other warning signs, it may be time to have your septic system inspected and pumped.

Common warning signs include slow drains, sewage odors, standing water near the drain field, gurgling pipes, sewage backups, or toilets that are not flushing properly. If you notice these problems, contact Outback Pumping Service to determine whether pumping or another septic service is needed.

Sewer rodding uses specialized equipment to clear blockages from sewer and drain lines. It can be used to help restore proper flow when a pipe becomes clogged.
