Ideal sits where Whitewater Creek and Cedar Creek meet in western Macon County. Stewart Septic Services serves its homes and farms from our base in the city of Macon.
Ideal started out as Joetown. According to local history, two railroad executives stopped there and one remarked that it would be an “ideal” spot for a station, and the name stuck. Today Ideal is a small incorporated city in western Macon County, along Georgia 90 between Oglethorpe and Rupert, at the meeting point of Whitewater Creek and Cedar Creek, two spring-fed tributaries of the Flint River. Stewart Septic Services serves Ideal from our home base in Macon.
Our company is family owned and was started by Erwin Stewart in 1994. Customers tell neighbors to “call Mr. Stewart” because we show up quickly, charge fairly and leave the yard clean. We pump tanks, locate buried ones, repair systems and install new ones, and the Georgia Department of Public Health lists us as a certified septic tank installer company. We also offer septic maintenance plans so you never fall behind on pumping.
Farms and rural homes around Ideal rely on septic, and properties near the creeks can see high water and soggy ground after strong storms. A tank that's pumped on schedule handles those wet spells much better. To set up service, call Stewart Septic Services at 478-474-2653.
