Lake homes on Jackson Lake, farms along the county roads and new houses on big Butts County lots all depend on septic. Stewart Septic Services keeps them working, serving Jackson from our home in Macon.
If downtown Jackson looks familiar, you may have seen it on TV — the Butts County seat stood in for the fictional town of Hawkins in the Netflix series Stranger Things. Jackson has been the county seat since 1826, and the 1898 Butts County Courthouse, now a museum and visitor center, still anchors the square. Nearby, Indian Springs State Park, often called the nation's oldest state park, and the trails of Dauset Trails Nature Center draw visitors year-round. Stewart Septic Services works throughout Jackson and Butts County from our home in Macon.
Jackson Lake shapes much of the septic work in this part of Georgia. The lake was formed when Lloyd Shoals Dam was built on the Ocmulgee River in the early 1900s, and today its shoreline holds year-round homes and weekend places, many on private septic systems. Lake lots are often narrow and sloped, so some homes use a pump tank to push effluent uphill to the drain field. We clean pump tanks and lift stations and fix the floats and alarms that keep them running.
Butts County has long been a bedroom community for both Atlanta and Macon, and I-75 makes Jackson an easy place to land. That means new houses on large rural lots and a busy resale market. Builders and owners rely on us for new system installation — the Georgia Department of Public Health lists us as a certified septic tank installer — and buyers rely on our real estate septic inspections before closing day.
Like the rest of the Piedmont, Butts County sits on dense red clay that soaks up water slowly. Summer thunderstorms can leave a drain field saturated, and the oaks and pines shading so many Jackson yards send roots straight for septic lines. A camera inspection lets us see cracked pipes, root intrusion and blockages without tearing up your lawn.
