How to reach us
Phone is the fastest way. Have your project details ready: job type, date, number of people, site conditions and how long you need the rental. We answer questions about standard porta potty rental versus deluxe flushable units and help you figure out how many you need based on OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), which requires one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer on construction sites. If your job involves applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) mandates handwashing station rental with soap and towels, not hand sanitizer alone.
Email works too. Send project photos, site maps or a rough sketch of where you want equipment placed. We respond within business hours. For roll-off dumpster rental, mention what's going in it and whether weight is a concern. For septic pumping service, tell us your tank size if you know it and when it was last pumped; residential tanks typically pump every 3 to 5 years depending on household size.
Use our online request form to lock in a quote without a phone call. You'll get a follow-up within one business day. The form asks for your location in Tacoma, project start and end dates, and which services you need. We handle storage container rental, temporary fence rental, restroom trailer rental and other services, so list everything at once.
What to expect after contact
We confirm availability and price. Tacoma Porta Pros quotes you on the rental cost and service fees. If you need ADA accessible porta potties, we verify your site can accommodate the 36 inch minimum clear width required by ADA Standards section 403.5.1. We also discuss placement: a roll-off dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to deliver safely.
Pickup and delivery are scheduled. We work around your timeline. For events in Tacoma like weddings or festivals, we confirm dates weeks ahead. For construction, we align with your crew schedule. If placement needs city approval (the public right of way sometimes does), we help you confirm the rules with the city. Emergency requests happen too: call and we'll discuss same-day or next-morning options for emergency porta potty rental.
We service regularly. Standard service is one visit per week under the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline for up to 10 users. Longer rentals get more frequent service at no extra cost per visit. We pump grease trap pumping when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. For septic tank cleaning, we empty and inspect. All waste goes to licensed treatment facilities.
Common questions
How do I know what size dumpster I need?
Project scope tells you. Small home renovations use a 10 or 20 yard dumpster. Construction debris and demolition take a 30 or 40 yard. Call us with what you're throwing away and we size it right. Overages cost money, so we'd rather quote high and surprise you low.
Can I get equipment on a weekend in Tacoma?
Yes. Weekend delivery and service cost more than weekday rates because of demand. Tell us your weekend dates when you call. We handle events, emergency repairs and time-sensitive jobs. Availability does vary depending on the week.
What happens if my septic tank backs up?
That's urgent. Call immediately. We dispatch fast for emergency septic service. A backup usually means the tank is full or has a blockage. We pump it and inspect the drain field. If damage exists, we tell you and refer a septic contractor. Prevention beats emergency: pump every 3 to 5 years.
Do you service the areas around Tacoma?
We do. Fircrest is 4.1 miles southwest, University Place 6.8 miles southwest, Fife 7.2 miles east and Lakewood 9.3 miles southwest. Puyallup is 11.6 miles southeast. Call with your address and we'll confirm service to your area. Some farther spots like Lacey (24.5 miles southwest) work too depending on equipment and demand.
How do I request a quote for multiple services?
Tell us everything at once. If you need temporary fencing and storage containers and restroom trailers on the same job, one call or form covers it all. We bundle services and price them together. That saves you time and often saves money.
