Thomaston grew up around its mills, and Upson County stretches out to the bluffs of the Flint River. Stewart Septic Services takes care of septic systems all across it, serving the area from our home base in Macon.
Every May, Thomaston hosts an Emancipation celebration that local families have held each year since 1866, called the nation's longest-running celebration of its kind. History runs deep in the Upson County seat, from the 1908 courthouse on the square to the old mill neighborhoods of East Thomaston. For most of the 20th century, Thomaston Mills and the tire cord plant at Martha Mills set the rhythm of life here. Stewart Septic Services is proud to serve Thomaston from our home base in Macon.
Older homes, older systems — that's the reality across much of Upson County. Farmhouses on family land, houses along the county roads and homes on wooded acreage outside town all rely on septic, and many of those tanks were installed long before anyone thought to map them. When the lid is buried and nobody remembers where it is, septic tank locating comes first.
Thomaston has moved well past the mill era. Manufacturers, a Southern Crescent Technical College campus and new homes on rural lots keep the county growing. We install new systems as a certified septic tank installer listed by the Georgia Department of Public Health, and we inspect systems for home sales so buyers and sellers know where things stand. Businesses off the sewer lines rely on us for commercial pumping and grease trap service.
West of town, the Flint River cuts through the Pine Mountain ridges at Sprewell Bluff Park, a reminder that Thomaston sits above the Fall Line in Georgia's Piedmont. The ground here is mostly clay, in places rocky, and it doesn't always take water the way a drain field needs it to. Before you build on a new lot, a perc test and soil evaluation shows what kind of system the land will support. Low spots near creeks and heavy summer storms can also flood an aging drain field.
Stewart Septic Services has been family owned and operated since Erwin Stewart started it in 1994. We earned an A+ rating from the BBB and a 4.8-star Google rating by doing honest work, showing up quickly and cleaning up before we leave. We also answer emergency calls 24/7.
