When a storm knocks out water and sewer service, West Gulfport Porta Pros can usually get portable toilets and handwashing stations on site within hours of the call, not days. We stock standard units, holding tanks and hand sanitizer stations for exactly this situation, priced by the day starting at $100.
Start with toilets and clean water for washing, in that order. Losing water pressure means losing flush capacity and losing the tap, so standard porta potty rental units become the only working toilets on a block. OSHA 1926.51(a)(1) requires an adequate supply of potable water at any place of employment, and that same logic applies to a relief site, a shelter, or a work crew staging out of a parking lot in West Gulfport. Pair toilets with a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental so people have somewhere to clean up, since hand sanitizer alone does not meet the standard set in 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which calls for soap and towels or a hand drying device. If crews are also handling debris coated in chemicals or treated materials, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for anyone applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. A single standard unit runs $100 to $350 a day, and most relief deployments land closer to the lower end since they run for a stretch of days rather than one afternoon. If well or septic service is down at a home, a holding tank rental can bridge the gap until the system is repaired, and our septic pumping service crew can pump out a tank that backed up during flooding once the water recedes.
Fast, but clearance still matters. A roll-off or restroom trailer delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and that does not change just because the situation is urgent. Storm debris, downed limbs, or a flooded driveway can block that path, so tell the dispatcher what the access looks like when you call our emergency porta potty rental line. We run out of West Gulfport and can reach Lyman in about 9.2 miles, Long Beach in 10.6 miles, and Biloxi in 14.5 miles, so staging a unit for a shelter or a relief hub in any of those spots does not add much drive time. A temporary power pole or light tower rental can support a relief site running after dark, especially if the grid is still down. For debris cleanup that follows, a roll-off dumpster rental clears storm waste fast, though what cannot go in a dumpster still applies during a disaster, since some hazardous debris needs separate handling. If you are staging equipment or supplies, a storage container rental or mobile office trailer rental gives responders a dry, secure base.
Base the count on how many people are using the site, not on guesswork. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets ratios for construction crews: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers up through 200, and one per 50 workers above that. A shelter or relief distribution point should plan on similar density, and our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math for larger gatherings. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units to be accessible, with a minimum of one, so any relief deployment serving the public should include an ADA accessible porta potty rather than standard units only. Weekly rates for a standard unit run $130 to $500, which usually works out cheaper per day than booking single days back to back if the deployment runs past a week. See the table below for what a longer disaster response typically costs against a short one.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| ada | $200-$400 | n/a | n/a |

Yes. Shelters, distribution points and command posts all count as places of employment or public gathering spots, and the same sanitation logic applies. We deliver portable restroom rental units to schools, churches and parking lots used as staging areas during a declared emergency.
Yes, a hand sanitizer station rental or handwashing unit can go out on its own. Many relief sites already have toilets from another source but need washing stations to meet basic hygiene, especially where food or medical aid is being distributed.
Call our septic team. A residential tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years under normal conditions, but flooding can force an emergency pump-out well outside that schedule. Our emergency septic service line handles exactly this.
Often, yes, depending on road conditions and access. Call ahead with your address and any debris blocking a driveway or lot entrance, since delivery trucks need roughly 60 feet of clear straight approach to place a unit safely.
