Renting a Porta Potty During a Sewer or Septic Repair
When the toilets in the house cannot be used, a unit in the driveway keeps the family going until the repair is done.
Can I get a porta potty the same day my sewer backs up?
You can get a porta potty the same day your sewer backs up when you call by noon, Monday to Saturday, anywhere in the Omaha metro. A standard unit and an optional hand-washing station are placed in the driveway or side yard that afternoon. A $75 same-day fee applies.
How many units does a household need?
One standard unit serves a household of up to about 5 people for a week. Larger households or long repairs add a second weekly service or a second unit. Add a hand-washing station so no one walks back into the house to wash.
How long does it stay?
A porta potty stays as long as the repair takes. Rentals of more than a week switch to the 28-day rate with weekly cleaning. Call when the plumber is done and billing stops on the pickup date.
Where should it go?
Keep the unit clear of the dig. Excavators need room to reach the sewer line, so put the unit on the opposite side of the driveway or in the side yard. Tell us where the plumber plans to dig.

Questions about this rental
Will my homeowner's insurance cover the porta potty?
Some homeowner policies cover temporary sanitation during a covered repair. Ask your agent. We give an itemized receipt you can submit.
Can the plumber's crew use the unit too?
The plumber's crew can use the same unit. If the crew is large or the job is long, add a second weekly service.
