Cochran is a college town surrounded by farm country, and much of Bleckley County runs on septic. Stewart Septic Services keeps it flowing from our home base in Macon.
Before it was Cochran, this railroad town was called Dykesboro. In 1869 it was incorporated and renamed for Judge Arthur E. Cochran, the railroad official who brought the Macon and Brunswick line through, and when Bleckley County was formed in 1912, Cochran became its seat. Today U.S. 23 and State Route 26 meet here, the Cochran campus of Middle Georgia State University brings students to town and the Cochran-Bleckley Cotton & Peanut Museum honors the crops that built the area. Stewart Septic Services works throughout Cochran from our base in Macon.
Step outside the city limits and Bleckley County is mostly farmland, timber and homes on generous lots. Farmhouses, family homes on country roads and plenty of older places in and around Cochran depend on septic systems, some of them installed generations ago. Older tanks may have worn-out baffles or lids buried under a foot of dirt, and we handle baffle and tee replacement, locating and risers so the next pump-out is easier.
Farms bring their own needs, from septic for the main house and a workshop to portable toilets for crews during planting and harvest. We provide portable toilet rental, holding tank pumping and commercial septic service for farms, churches and businesses around Cochran, and new system installation when families build on rural land.
Cochran sits in the upper Atlantic Coastal Plain, where sandier soils usually drain faster than the red clay north of Macon. That helps, but heavy summer storms and a high water table in low spots can still flood a drain field, and sandy soil lets tree roots travel far in search of moisture. If you're seeing standing water or slow drains, our septic system repair service can find and fix the cause.
