How we work
When you call Cedar Rapids Porta Pros, you reach people who actually do this work. We know what a job site needs because we've delivered to hundreds of them. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground, so we can tell you right away if your space fits. We handle delivery, setup, regular service visits and pickup. One service visit per week is standard for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, though heavier use gets more frequent stops.
Placement matters. A roll-off dumpster needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and we'll walk you through the logistics before delivery day. For restroom trailers and handwashing stations, we make sure power and water hookups are realistic. If a placement question comes up, we figure it out together instead of showing up with equipment that won't fit.
What we rent
Standard porta potties and deluxe flushable units cover most events and construction jobs. We stock ADA accessible toilets that meet ADA Standards section 213.2, with 36 inch minimum clear width routes and 32 inch door openings. Customers doing work in Cedar Rapids that involves applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides need handwashing stations, and OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) spells that out.
Septic work runs year-round. A residential septic tank gets pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size. We also pump grease traps and holding tanks. Emergency septic service is available when a backup or slow drain can't wait. Roll-off dumpsters come in multiple sizes for construction jobs, demolition and cleanup. We deliver storage containers for job site materials or seasonal overflow.
Why Cedar Rapids Porta Pros
We're local. Our service area covers Cedar Rapids and nearby towns like Fairfax (6.4 miles southwest), Hiawatha (7.4 miles north), Marion (9.5 miles northeast), North Liberty (17.7 miles south) and Iowa City (28.0 miles south). Short drive times mean we can respond to urgent calls and keep service visits on schedule.
A job site with 20 to 40 workers needs the right toilet count. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline: 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up. We'll work through the math with you and deliver what the work actually requires, not what we have left in inventory.
Billing is simple. You know the rate upfront, you get a service schedule and you get a price that does not jump mid-rental. Call or request a quote and we'll tell you what the job costs.
FAQ
How soon can you deliver?
Most deliveries happen the same day or next morning. Emergency requests in Cedar Rapids get priority. Call and we'll check the schedule.
Do you service portable toilets during winter?
Yes. Cedar Rapids winters mean we winterize units and keep service going all year. Some customers pause rentals in January or February, but the option stays open.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe?
Deluxe flushable units have a flush mechanism and hand soap, making them better for offices, events and upscale job sites. Standard units are rock-solid workhorses for construction and heavy outdoor use.
Can I rent just a dumpster and a porta potty together?
Absolutely. Many Cedar Rapids contractors bundle a roll-off dumpster with portable toilets for one job. We'll coordinate delivery and service timing.
What happens if my septic tank backs up on a weekend?
Call us. Emergency septic service reaches most Cedar Rapids addresses on weekend and holiday calls. Describe the backup and we'll get a truck to you.
