Find answers to common questions about our portable toilet rentals, including availability, setup, and maintenance during your rental period.
Yes, we provide ADA-compliant portable toilets that are wheelchair accessible and meet all federal and state requirements.
Portable toilets need to be placed on level ground, ideally in a location that is accessible for our service trucks. We recommend checking local regulations for placement restrictions.
We service and clean portable toilets weekly. However, we can adjust the frequency based on your specific needs, especially for larger events or extended projects.
We recommend one portable toilet per 10–15 people for an 8-hour event. For job sites, the number may vary based on the number of workers and the length of the project.
Get answers to common questions about our septic pumping service, including when to schedule a pump and what to expect during the process.
Typically, the process takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of your tank and its condition.
Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items (like wipes and feminine hygiene products) and limit the use of chemicals like bleach, which can harm the natural bacteria in your tank.
Common signs include slow drains, gurgling sounds in your plumbing, bad odors around the tank or drains, and water pooling in your yard above the tank.
We recommend pumping your septic tank every 3 to 5 years, depending on the size of the tank and the number of people in your household.
