Fort Valley is the Peach County seat, home to Fort Valley State University and Blue Bird buses. Stewart Septic Services keeps septic systems working in town and out among the orchards.
Peach orchards still frame the roads into Fort Valley, the seat of Peach County and the self-described Peach Capital of Georgia. The town was chartered in 1856, and local lore says its name came from a misread application for “Fox Valley” — no fort ever stood here. Today Fort Valley is home to Fort Valley State University, one of Georgia's public historically Black universities, and to the headquarters of school bus maker Blue Bird. Stewart Septic Services serves Fort Valley from our home base in Macon.
Inside the city, many homes are on sewer. Out in the county, it's a different story. Farmhouses, orchard properties and homes on country roads throughout Peach County depend on septic tanks, and many of those systems went in long ago. Older tanks can have worn baffles, cracked lids or lines that have shifted over the years. We handle baffle replacement, line repair and riser and lid installation to keep older systems in service.
Agriculture keeps Fort Valley busy, and farm operations need dependable sanitation. We provide portable toilet rentals for harvest crews and outdoor events, along with holding tank pumping and commercial septic service for businesses, churches and restaurants outside the sewer lines. When a property sells, our real estate septic inspections give buyers and lenders a clear report.
Fort Valley sits south of the Fall Line, on the sandier soils of the upper Coastal Plain. Those soils generally drain well, but a tank that hasn't been pumped in years can still push solids into the drain field and clog it. Heavy summer storms and roots from shade trees make the problem worse. Regular septic tank pumping is the simplest protection.
