What do our seasonal & storm recovery setups look like?
These are real photos of units we set for seasonal & storm recovery jobs: how they're placed, what's inside, and how they arrive. Every unit is pumped, pressure-washed, sanitized and restocked before delivery, so the unit on your site looks like the ones here.
What do you do when a hurricane is coming?
When a hurricane or tropical storm threatens Galveston, we contact renters with exposed units, strap or pull units from beachfront and seawall sites, and reschedule events at no charge. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30 and peaks around September 10, according to NOAA's National Hurricane Center.
- Before landfall: secure or remove units at exposed sites; confirm your contact number.
- During: no service runs while bridges or the causeway are restricted.
- After: recovery crews, shelters, and homes without plumbing get priority delivery.

How many restrooms does a storm shelter or recovery site need?
A storm shelter or recovery site needs about 1 toilet per 20 residents, plus handwashing stations at each cluster. A 460-resident shelter would need about 23 toilets — for example, 4 restroom trailers plus porta potties and hand-wash stations. Emergency managers can call for same-day priority.
An emergency-management caller sourcing restroom trailers for an evacuation shelter with about 460 residents had estimated 1 bathroom per 75 people — 7 bathrooms. We plan shelters closer to 1 per 20, because residents use them around the clock, not just during an event window.
Post-storm need?
Call — recovery crews, shelters, and homes without plumbing are dispatched first.

Questions renters ask us before booking
These questions come straight from real rental calls. Each answer starts with the short version, then the conditions that change it.
What happens if a hurricane or tropical storm is coming?
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. When a storm threatens Galveston, we secure units, pull units from exposed beachfront spots, and reschedule events at no charge. After the storm, we prioritize recovery crews, shelters, and homes without working plumbing.
How far ahead should I book for a holiday weekend or big Galveston event?
Book 2–3 weeks ahead for Labor Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Mardi Gras, and the Lone Star Rally weekend. Those dates sell out first. In our call log, every caller who waited until the Thursday before Labor Day either paid a rush fee or got no unit.
Can you supply restroom trailers and hand-wash stations for an emergency shelter?
Yes. Emergency managers, churches, and shelters can order restroom trailers, porta potties, and hand-wash stations. For a shelter, plan on about 1 toilet per 20 residents and a hand-wash station per cluster. Call — emergency orders are dispatched first.
Will a porta potty smell in Galveston's summer heat?
Heat speeds odor, and Galveston highs average 91–92°F in July and August. Shade, a vent facing the breeze, and twice-weekly service for busy units keep odor down. We add fresh deodorizer at every service and can schedule extra visits during heat waves.
Can you deliver a porta potty today?
Yes. Same-day porta potty delivery is available on Galveston Island and most of Galveston County when you call by 12 PM, Monday–Saturday, and a truck is free. Same-day orders carry a rush fee starting at $75, which we quote before you book. Call (409) 230-8588 — same-day orders are taken by phone, not the web form.
I'm remodeling my house with no water. Do I need a contractor account?
No. Homeowners book the same 28-day construction rate as contractors, with weekly service included. Bathroom remodels, foundation work, and post-storm repairs are common reasons. We place it on your property so the crew never needs your house bathroom.
