How fast can you deliver a porta potty in an emergency?
Same-day delivery is the point of an emergency call, not a promise we make lightly. We stage units close to Wellington, and when a jobsite or event calls with a failed system, we move it to the front of the route. If you're within the range that includes Royal Palm Beach 5.7 miles northeast or Greenacres 10.4 miles east, that's a short run for our trucks. A roll-off or a restroom trailer needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to unload safely, so tell us what your driveway or lot looks like when you call. We also handle emergency septic service and emergency grease trap pumping on the same rush basis, because a backed-up line doesn't wait for a slow morning. If you're not sure how many units your crew needs once the dust settles, our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through it, but for now the priority is getting something on site today.
What counts as an emergency and what does it cost?
A construction site that lost its only restroom, a septic backup at a private residence, a grease trap that's overflowed into a kitchen drain, a wedding venue whose rented trailer failed the morning of. Those are emergencies. Routine swaps and planned events are not, and they book at standard rates through our request a quote page instead.
| service | duration | typical price |
|---|---|---|
| standard unit | day | 150 |
| ADA unit | day | 230 |
| septic pumping | day | 250 |
| delivery fee | day | 150 |
| service fee (rush) | day | 175 |
Weekend emergency callouts run higher, generally landing in the 400 to 1200 dollar range for the service fee alone, because a Saturday night dispatch costs more than a Tuesday morning one. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall, which is worth knowing if you're placing it under a low overhang or near event tenting. For jobs that need more than a single toilet, compare the standard porta potty rental and deluxe flushable porta potty options, or look at ADA accessible porta potty units if the site needs one for compliance.
Do you offer emergency septic and grease trap pumping?
Yes, and it's often the more urgent of the two calls. A grease interceptor needs pumping once fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth, and past that point it backs up fast, usually at the worst possible service hour. A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size, but emergencies don't run on that schedule. Septic pumping in an emergency window runs 150 to 300 dollars a day in this market. If you're a restaurant in Wellington or nearby in Palm Springs, a failed grease trap is a health code problem the same day it happens, not something to schedule for next week. See septic pumping service and septic tank warning signs for what to watch before it gets to that point, and holding tank rental if you need interim capacity while a system gets repaired.
Can you get an emergency shower trailer or restroom trailer out quickly?
We can, though trailers take more lead time than a standard toilet because of hookups and placement. A restroom trailer rents for 175 to 2500 dollars a day depending on size and stalls, and an emergency shower trailer follows similar logistics: it needs level ground, a water source, and often a generator. Disaster response, storm cleanup crews, and displaced households in Wellington are the calls we see most for this. Check the 2 stall restroom trailer or 4 stall restroom trailer pages for what fits a mid-size crew, and disaster relief sanitation for what a longer deployment looks like. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline for how many toilet facilities a construction crew needs, one per 20 workers up to a point, and an emergency swap has to still hit that ratio even under pressure. If handwashing is part of the gap, a handwashing station rental or portable sink rental can go out on the same truck, and 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels at those stations, not just sanitizer.
How much does emergency delivery cost compared to standard delivery?
Expect to pay the standard delivery fee, 100 to 500 dollars depending on distance and timing, plus a rush service fee that can run 100 to 300 dollars for a same-day day-rate job. Weekend emergencies push higher. Ask for the full breakdown before the truck leaves the yard.
Do you serve areas outside Wellington on short notice?
Yes. We already run routes to Lake Worth Beach at 16.1 miles east and Riviera Beach at 20.8 miles northeast, so a call from those areas isn't a special trip. Check service areas for the full list before assuming we can't reach you.
What if I only need a unit for one day?
That's the emergency case by definition, and a single day at 100 to 350 dollars covers it. Compare that against the porta potty rental per day page if you're weighing a one-day rental against a short weekly term instead.
Is there a minimum rental period for emergency units?
No fixed minimum for emergency dispatch, though pricing favors longer terms. A week runs 130 to 500 dollars and a month runs 125 to 325, both cheaper per day than a single emergency day rate.
Can an emergency unit meet ADA requirements on short notice?
Yes, we keep ADA units in rotation specifically for this. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster of portable toilets, and ours meet the 60 inch turning circle called out in section 304.3.1.
