Emergency Porta Potty RentalWater’s Out. Call Us.
Water main break, a shutoff that was supposed to be two hours and turned into two days, a boil notice, a sewer backup. When a building loses its restrooms, the business stops. We deliver portable restrooms and hand wash stations on emergency call across Ellis County, Dallas and Corsicana.
We Won’t Promise You Two Hours Before We Know Where You Are
Every emergency vendor’s website says fast. Here is how we actually handle it.
Call And You Get A Real Number
DFW is enormous and no two emergencies are the same. A break in Waxahachie at 9am and a break in Dallas at 4:30pm are completely different problems. Rather than publish a response time we cannot honor on every job, we will tell you on the phone what we can actually do, based on where your property is, where our trucks are, and what is already on the schedule. If we cannot get there in time to help you, we will say so instead of taking the order.
We’re Local, Which Is The Part That Matters
Our yard and our units are here, not dispatched from a call center in another state that then has to find a local subcontractor. When you call, you are talking to the company that owns the trucks and the units.
Hand Wash Stations Come Too
A restroom without handwashing does not solve a water outage, especially for a restaurant, a gas station, a school, or anywhere the health department is going to have an opinion. Ask for hand wash stations when you call and they come on the same truck.
Priced When We Know The Job
Emergency delivery is quoted per situation, because distance, timing, unit count, and how long you need them all move the number. You will get that number before we roll, not on an invoice afterward. Our after-hours service call rate is a published $150.
Situations We Get Called For
Almost always the same story: the water went away and somebody has to keep the doors open anyway.
Water Main Breaks
City main lets go and a whole block loses water with no restoration estimate. Businesses on that block either close or get portable restrooms on site.
Planned Shutoffs That Ran Long
The contractor said the water would be off for four hours. It is hour eleven. Nobody planned for restrooms because nobody thought they would need them.
Boil Notices
The water is technically on, but a food service business cannot operate on it. Hand wash stations and restrooms bridge the gap until the notice lifts.
Sewer Backups And Plumbing Failures
Restrooms in the building are unusable even though the water works. Common in older commercial buildings and apartment complexes.
Storm And Freeze Damage
Texas freeze events break pipes across whole properties at once. Portable restrooms keep a property functional while plumbers work through the backlog.
Sudden Occupancy Or Displacement
Staging areas, shelters, crews mobilized fast for a response. Restrooms are usually the thing nobody remembered to arrange.
Properties That Cannot Just Close
For most of these, a day without restrooms is a day without revenue, or a compliance problem, or both.
Gas Stations And Convenience Stores
Public restrooms are part of the business. Losing water overnight without a plan means turning customers away at the busiest hours.
Restaurants And Food Service
Handwashing is not optional and the health department has a view. Hand wash stations matter as much as the restrooms here.
Apartments And Property Management
A building-wide water failure with tenants in place. Portable restrooms on site are the difference between an inconvenience and a habitability complaint.
Schools And Churches
Occupancy you cannot send home on short notice, and a schedule that does not move because a pipe broke.
Offices And Retail Centers
Multi-tenant buildings where one failure takes out restrooms for every business under the roof.
Plumbers And Restoration Contractors
You are already on site fixing it. Bring us in and your customer stays open while you work, which makes you look like the one who solved it.
Four Things That Speed Up The Call
Have these when you dial and we can give you an answer instead of a callback.
The Address And The Access
Exact address plus where a truck can actually get in. Gate codes, locked lots, low clearances, and whether somebody will be on site to meet the driver. Access problems are the single most common reason an emergency delivery slips.
How Many People And How Long
Rough headcount for the property and your best guess at how long the water is out. A two-day outage at a gas station and a two-week outage at an apartment complex are different orders.
Whether You Need Hand Wash Stations
For food service, schools, and anywhere the health department will be looking, the answer is almost always yes. Say it on the first call and they ride out on the same truck.
Where The Units Should Sit
Somewhere customers or tenants can actually reach, on a firm level surface, not blocking your lot. If units are going on a public sidewalk or street, the city will likely require approval.
What It Costs
Emergency delivery is quoted per situation, because distance, timing, unit count and duration all move the number. You get it on the call, before anything rolls. Our after-hours service call rate is a published $150, and rentals that run past the first month roll onto standard monthly rates.

Portable Toilet Rental FAQs
The stuff people ask before they book. No fine-print games.
Every 7 days we pump the tank, clean the interior, and restock the paper goods. You don’t need to be on site. We have access procedures for gated and locked job sites, so service keeps happening whether you’re there or not.
Normal wear and tear is on us. Beyond that it’s tiered so you’re never guessing: light cleaning runs $100, moderate damage $150, and severe damage $200 or more. A total loss from vandalism, fire, or structural damage is billed at replacement cost, roughly $1,200 per unit. Rare, but we’d rather you know the number upfront.
On private property, no permit needed. If a unit goes on a public right-of-way, a city street, or city-owned property, the local permitting office may require one. Rules vary by city, so call the city before you book and we’ll work around whatever they tell you.
Twenty-four hours covers most orders. Same-day happens more often than you’d think, especially close to our Waxahachie yard. Big multi-unit event orders should be booked further out so we can stage the trailer and the crew.
Yes. We carry general liability and auto coverage, and we’ll send a certificate of insurance to your GC or venue on request. Ask when you book and we’ll have it over the same day.
Contractors and companies with ongoing work can be set up on net-30 terms after a short credit check. One invoice covers dumpsters and porta potties on the same site.
Call and we will give you a real answer for your address, based on where our trucks are and what is on the schedule. We deliberately do not publish a blanket response time, because DFW is huge and a number that is honest for Waxahachie at 9am is a lie for Dallas at rush hour. If we cannot get there in time to actually help, we will tell you that instead of taking the order.
Call (214) 225-5865. Our published after-hours service call rate is $150 for work outside standard service hours.
It is quoted per situation, because distance, timing, how many units you need, and how long you need them all move the number. You get the price on the call, before anything rolls, not on an invoice afterward.
Yes, and for a restaurant, gas station, school, or anywhere the health department is involved you should. Ask on the first call and they come out on the same truck.
As long as you need. A few days while a main gets repaired, or months if the building work runs long. Rentals past the first month roll onto our standard monthly rates, and three months or more drops the rate to $199 per 28 days per unit.
On your own property, no. If units have to go on a public sidewalk, street, or city property, the city will likely require approval even in an emergency. Tell us the situation and we will place them where you are allowed to have them.
