Do I need a porta potty during a bathroom remodel?
A porta potty is needed during a bathroom remodel when the house has one bathroom, or when the contractor's crew should stay out of the house. One standard unit with weekly service covers a crew of up to 10 and the family. Many contractors require the homeowner to rent it.
Most remodels run 2 to 8 weeks. A 1-week rate covers short jobs; longer jobs switch to the 28-day rate with weekly service.
What if my septic tank or sewer line fails?
A septic or sewer failure is the most common reason Allentown homeowners call for a same-day porta potty. Call (610) 228-7980 by noon and a unit can usually arrive the same afternoon. Rent by the week until the plumber gives a repair date, then switch to 28-day billing if the repair runs long.
Where should a porta potty go at a house?
Put a home porta potty on the driveway edge, a side yard or a rear parking pad, within about 15 feet of where the truck parks. Keep the door away from neighbors' windows. In Allentown rowhome blocks, the rear alley pad usually works better than the front sidewalk, which needs a city permit.
- Flat concrete or gravel beats soft grass.
- Leave space for the weekly service truck.
- A hasp lock keeps strangers out overnight.
Home remodel and septic questions
How much is a porta potty for a week while my bathroom is redone?
A standard unit for one week starts at $249 in the Lehigh Valley, with delivery, pickup and one service included. The 6% PA sales tax is added to that.
Can I get a porta potty today because my septic collapsed?
Same-day delivery is available when you call by noon, Monday through Saturday, and a unit is in the yard. Call rather than using the form.
Will my HOA allow a porta potty?
Many HOAs allow temporary units during construction. Check your HOA rules and place the unit on the driveway or side yard, not the front lawn.
Will it smell near the house?
Units are charged with deodorizer and vented through the roof. Keep the door facing away from windows, and weekly service keeps odor down.
Can my contractor's crew use the same unit?
One unit covers the family and a crew of up to 10 with weekly service. Larger crews should add a second unit.
How do I end the rental when the bathroom is done?
Call the yard at least one business day ahead. The driver picks it up and billing stops at the end of the current period.
