From Courthouse Square to the farms and wooded tracts of Monroe County, Forsyth homeowners need septic systems they can count on. Stewart Septic Services keeps them pumped, inspected and repaired from our home base in Macon.
Forsyth has been the seat of Monroe County since 1823, and its downtown still gathers around the 1896 Monroe County Courthouse and the historic storefronts of the Forsyth Commercial Historic District. Each spring the Forsythia Festival fills those streets, and just off I-75 the Georgia Public Safety Training Center trains officers and firefighters from across Georgia. The former Tift College campus is now home to the Georgia Department of Corrections. Stewart Septic Services serves Forsyth from our home base in Macon.
Outside Forsyth's sewer lines, most of Monroe County treats its own wastewater. Farmhouses along the county roads, wooded homesites and newer houses on big lots all rely on septic systems, and plenty of those tanks were put in the ground decades ago. Regular septic tank pumping and an occasional inspection are the best protection against a backup or a failed drain field.
Monroe County sits between Macon and metro Atlanta, and new homes keep going up on rural tracts all around Forsyth. A house on a raw lot needs a properly designed system, while an older home changing hands needs an honest look at what's buried in the yard. We install new systems as a certified septic tank installer listed by the Georgia Department of Public Health, and our real estate septic inspections give buyers and sellers straight answers before closing. Businesses past the sewer lines call us for grease trap service, too.
Forsyth sits on a ridge in the Piedmont, north of the Fall Line, and the red clay here holds water much longer than sandy soil does. After a hard summer storm, a clay drain field can stay soggy for days. Properties near the Towaliga River, High Falls State Park and Lake Juliette deal with the same wet ground. If water pools over your field after rain, a drain field evaluation will show what's going on.
Erwin Stewart started Stewart Septic Services in 1994, and the family-owned company still grows mostly by word of mouth — people hear “call Mr. Stewart”. We hold an A+ rating with the BBB and a 4.8-star Google rating, and customers mention quick scheduling, fair prices and crews who leave the yard clean. For pumping, repairs or a 24/7 emergency in Forsyth, call Stewart Septic Services at 478-474-2653.

"My neighbor recommended their service and it was a great experience. Every employee I dealt with was knowledgeable, professional, and kind. I thought my tank needed to be cleaned but they told me the problem was only a faulty float valve. They could have taken advantage of the opportunity to do un-necessary work but didn’t."

Answers to the questions Forsyth-area homeowners and businesses ask us most.
Yes. We serve Forsyth and the rest of Monroe County from our home base in Macon. A call to 478-474-2653 is all it takes to get on our schedule.
Forsyth sits in the Piedmont, where heavy red clay drains slowly. After a big storm, a clay drain field can stay saturated for days, and a field that never dries out may be failing. A drain field evaluation will tell you.
Call us. We answer septic emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and our office is open Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 7 PM, and Saturday, 8 AM to noon.
Slow drains, gurgling pipes, sewage odors and soggy or unusually green grass over the tank or drain field are the most common signs. Most household tanks need pumping every three to five years.
Yes. An inspection before closing shows the condition of the tank and drain field so there are no surprises after you move in. We provide real estate septic inspections throughout Monroe County.
