Frequently asked questions

How many portable toilets do I need?

OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline. For construction sites with 20 workers or fewer, you need 1 toilet facility. From 20 to 40 workers, add 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers. At 200 workers and above, the ratio shifts to 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers. The math changes if you're running an event instead of a construction job, or if your crew works shifts. How Many Porta Potties Do I Need in Davenport, IA walks through the scenarios. Call Davenport Porta Pros and describe your exact setup, we'll quote you what fits your site without over-renting.

What's the difference between standard and deluxe units?

A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures roughly 44 by 48 inches on the ground. It stands about 92 inches tall and services most construction and small-event needs. Standard Porta Potty Rental in Davenport, IA covers daily, weekly and monthly rates. Deluxe units have flushes, sinks and mirrors inside. They cost more but they feel like a real restroom. Deluxe Flushable Porta Potty pricing runs higher because the plumbing and fixtures add weight and maintenance complexity. For Davenport job sites where your crew stays for weeks, deluxe often pays for itself in morale.

What if I need ADA accessibility?

Davenport has customers with accessibility requirements on every kind of job. ADA Standards section 213.2 says at least 5 percent of clustered single-unit portable toilets must be accessible, and never fewer than one. An accessible unit needs a 60 inch diameter turning circle inside, a 32 inch minimum clear door opening width, a 36 inch minimum clear route behind it, and operable parts reachable between 15 and 48 inches high with 5 pounds maximum force to operate. ADA Accessible Porta Potty units cost more than standard ones, but they're required on public projects and many private jobs. We deliver them with the right approach angle and space.

How often do portable toilets get serviced?

One service visit per week per 10 users over a 40 hour week is the industry baseline under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Davenport Porta Pros can run more frequent service on high-traffic sites or less frequent service on smaller crews if the tank capacity allows it. We pump, sanitize, and restock paper and soap on every visit. If your site runs weekends or has unpredictable traffic, tell us, we'll adjust the schedule.

When do I need a handwashing station?

29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and a towel or hand drying device where employees wash hands. Handwashing stations aren't optional if your crew applies paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides. Washing facilities requirements under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) kick in because those contaminants need proper removal, not hand sanitizer alone. Davenport job sites with concrete cutting, painting or chemical work need at least one station. We rent portable sinks with foot pumps, soap dispensers and paper towel holders.
