Frequently Asked Questions in Arden-Arcade, CA

OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the count: one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up, and one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. A 15-person crew needs one unit. A 60-person crew needs at least two. The how many porta potties do I need guide walks you through the math for your exact headcount. Soil conditions and weather matter too. Call us with your site plan and we'll size it right.

Standard units have a 60 to 70 gallon holding tank and sit about 92 inches tall. Deluxe models add a hand sanitizer dispenser, a vent system, a flushing mechanism, and interior lighting. Deluxe units cost more per week but they're worth it on job sites where crews stay all day or on event grounds where perception counts. We service both standard porta potty rentals and deluxe flushable porta potties in Arden-Arcade. Most construction sites choose standard. Events often choose deluxe.

Yes, if your crew handles paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities in those contexts. Soap and towels (or a hand drying device) must be present, not hand sanitizer alone per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). We rent handwashing station rentals that pair a portable sink with hot water and soap. Arden-Arcade job sites in demolition, renovation and chemical application often add one to their order.

An ADA accessible porta potty must meet door width, floor space and turning clearance rules. ADA Standards section 404.2.3 requires a minimum clear door opening width of 32 inches. ADA Standards section 304.3.1 calls for a 60 inch diameter turning circle inside. If you're renting for a public event or a workplace with disabled workers, check local rules. Arden-Arcade requires ADA units on many public sites. ADA Standards section 213.2 says at least 5 percent of a cluster, and never fewer than one unit, must be accessible. We stock them and can deliver within two business days.

A residential septic tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and household size. If you're in Arden-Arcade and you rent out a property, or if your home has unusually heavy use, pump more often. Our septic tank pumping cost page has the ranges. We also offer grease trap pumping for restaurants and commercial kitchens. A grease interceptor is pumped when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Call us when you smell backed-up drains or see slow drainage.
