From a very young age, John Lemme grew up next door to his grandfather's well business. He began working for the family business in 1987 and continually learned from his grandfather. He decided after 30 years in the family business, to open his own well and water service company, J Lemme Well and Water Systems. He is by far, the most sought after well/water diagnosis expert, in Rhode Island. We offer well water pump and tank install, filtration systems, well drilling and so much more. No water? 24/7 service phone, please call 401-385-3330.

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

You only need to pump the septic tank. The leach field allows the liquid and waste to naturally seep into the ground, so there’s no need to pump the leach field. You should call a local septic tank pumping service to remove the materials from the tank every three to five years. Without pumping the septic tank occasionally, solids could flow into the leach field pipes and clog them.

Think of a leach field and septic tank as the peanut butter and jelly of wastewater management. They go together. However, it is possible to have a septic tank without a leach field, as some types of septic systems don't require them. For example, your home may have a septic mound rather than a leach field or a sand filtration system, instead.

The size of your septic tank plays a role in determining the proper size of the drain or leach field. As a general rule, you should have 1 square foot of drain field size per gallon of septic tank capacity. However, you could install a leach field that’s as much as 2.5 square feet per gallon of septic tank capacity. Most professionals determine the right septic tank size and drain field size by the number of bedrooms in the house. A three-bedroom house needs a minimum 1,000-gallon septic tank, for example.

A septic tank should be emptied about once every two to three years. The number of people in your household and the size of your tank can influence how often to pump the septic tank. The average septic tank size is about 1,250 gallons, so anything smaller may need to be pumped once every year or two.

For the most part, choosing between 30/50 psi and 40/60 psi is based on your water-pressure preference. However, it can also depend a little bit on your house—if you have older plumbing, a lower water pressure can be easier on the pipes (and a bit more gentle on your well pump). 

The lower 30/50 pressure is usually enough for a single-story home, but you may want 40/60 if you have multiple stories, as the extra pressure helps water flow smoothly up to the second floor.
