A busted job site toilet, a septic backup before a wedding, a burst line at a restaurant grease trap: Mobile Porta Pros runs same-day emergency service for all of it. Standard unit rentals run $100 to $350 a day, and emergency dispatch moves faster than a routine order. Call, and we start routing a truck.
Same-day delivery is the goal for every emergency call, whether you are 10 minutes from downtown Mobile or out past Tillmans Corner, 10.4 miles southwest of the city. We keep trucks staged and units ready, so a broken unit at a construction site or a sudden crowd at an event does not turn into a shutdown. If you are closer to Prichard, 11.3 miles north, or Chickasaw, 11.5 miles north, drive time is short enough that we can usually still deliver the same day the call comes in. Emergency porta potty rental near me searches spike after storms and after equipment failures, and both situations get the same answer from us: we move it to the front of the schedule. A standard porta potty rental covers most emergency swaps, but if the crowd is bigger than expected, we will talk you through a portable restroom rental upgrade on the spot. Daily standard rates run $100 to $350 depending on unit and duration, and you can see the full breakdown on our porta potty rental cost page.
A septic backup, an overflowing grease interceptor, or a holding tank that fills faster than expected all qualify, and each gets priority routing. A grease interceptor needs pumping once fats, oils, grease and solids build up to 25 percent of the liquid depth, and once that line is crossed, a restaurant can be dead in the water within a shift. Emergency grease trap pumping calls usually come in exactly at that point, and we prioritize kitchens that cannot open without service. On the residential side, a typical septic tank gets pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size, but a sudden failure does not wait for the calendar. Emergency septic pumping service and emergency septic tank pumping service near me are both handled the same way here in Mobile: one call, one truck, no multi-day wait. Daily septic service runs $150 to $300, with a shorter emergency weekend rate between $50 and $150. For ongoing schedules instead of a one-off emergency, see septic pumping service, grease trap pumping, or how often to pump a septic tank.
Yes, and they move fast when a disaster response or a large crew needs washing facilities immediately. An emergency shower trailer rental usually pairs with disaster relief work or a labor camp that lost its facilities overnight, and daily trailer rates start at $175 and can run up to $2,500 depending on size and finish. Weekend trailer rentals run $900 to $3,000. If a job site near Theodore, 12.8 miles southwest, or Daphne, 16.8 miles east, loses its restroom trailer to a mechanical failure, we can swap the unit rather than repair it on site, which is usually faster. Browse the restroom trailer rental options, including the 2 stall restroom trailer and 4 stall restroom trailer for smaller crews, or the shower trailer rental page for full wash setups.

Emergency calls carry the same unit pricing as scheduled rentals, but the delivery fee is where rush jobs cost more, since a same-day route often means pulling a truck off another job. Expect the delivery fee to land toward the higher end of that $100 to $500 day-rate band during an emergency dispatch. If your situation is not truly urgent, a scheduled porta potty rental per day or monthly porta potty rental will always come in cheaper than rush service. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet counts for construction crews at one facility per 20 workers or fewer, and an emergency swap has to still meet that ratio, not just fill the gap temporarily. Every replacement unit we send meets ADA Standards 213.2 clustering rules when the site calls for an accessible unit in the mix, and we carry ADA accessible porta potty stock for exactly that.
Use the same ratio you would for a planned event: one unit per 20 workers under OSHA 1926.51(c), or roughly one unit per 50 to 75 event guests for a few hours. For a fast headcount check, see how many porta potties do I need before you call.
Yes, in most cases. Mobile and towns within roughly 20 miles, including Saraland at 19.2 miles north, get priority same-day routing. Confirm placement details ahead of time using our porta potty placement guide so the driver is not stuck waiting on access.
The tank pumping itself is priced the same, $150 to $300 daily, but rush dispatch adds a delivery or service fee. Grease traps follow the 25 percent depth rule regardless of urgency. See septic tank pumping cost for the full range.
We also handle light tower rental and temporary power pole setups, so a storm outage that knocks out both power and restrooms can be solved in one call instead of two vendors.
