Chesapeake Porta Pros has served the Hampton Roads region since 2008, starting with portable toilets and growing into a full-service sanitation company. We rent standard and deluxe units, restroom trailers, dumpsters, storage containers, temporary fencing and handwashing stations across Chesapeake and surrounding communities. Our fleet maintains 347 active units.
We opened because construction crews and event planners in Chesapeake kept calling the same three companies, waiting days for a callback. The founder worked construction himself and knew the frustration. He bought 12 standard units, a pump truck and a used delivery van in 2008. Word spread through job sites, we showed up when we said we would, kept equipment clean, and answered the phone after 5 p.m. By 2012 we'd added deluxe flushable units. By 2015, restroom trailers became our fastest-growing rental. Today the company operates from a 4-acre facility on the south side of Chesapeake, with a team of 11 drivers and service technicians who know the streets well enough to navigate around bridge work and Naval Station traffic without GPS.
We stay local because it works. A 22.6-mile drive to Norfolk takes 35 minutes on Route 58. We can respond to emergency calls in Chesapeake within 2 hours, and we know which addresses have tight alleys, which neighborhoods have underground utilities, and which industrial parks need after-hours delivery coordination. Emergency porta potty rental is real work, not marketing. Last year we placed units at three active construction incidents and one flooded neighborhood in South Mills, 26.1 miles south. That kind of trust builds slowly and breaks fast.
We measure our service by ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, the portable sanitation industry standard. One weekly service visit covers standard units up to 10 users over a 40-hour week. Most competitors skip this detail. We post the scheduled service date on your unit and keep a log. If a unit needs extra pumping mid-week, because a job site ran hot or a festival drew more than expected, we charge a service call, not a surprise fee on the invoice. Standard porta potty rental and ADA accessible units both follow the same schedule. No unit sits on a job site without a next-service date confirmed in writing. We've held that standard for 16 years.
Compliance matters. Construction foremen know that OSHA 1926.51(c) requires 1 toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer on a jobsite. We help you count bodies and place the right number of units. We don't guess. Agricultural crews working under OSHA 1928.110 need potable water, hand washing and toilets within a quarter mile. We serve three berry farms in Gates County, NC and one produce operation near Suffolk, 28.3 miles west of Chesapeake. Handwashing stations include soap and a drying device per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), hand sanitizer doesn't satisfy that rule.
Call for a free quote. We'll ask about your event type, how many people you're expecting, the site address and the duration. If you're renting a dumpster or storage container, we confirm that the delivery truck can reach your location, a roll-off needs roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck. We confirm placement in the public right of way with you before arrival, because site-specific requirements vary. For temporary fencing around an event or construction zone, we walk the perimeter and quote by the linear foot. Once you approve, we schedule delivery. Most rentals in Chesapeake arrive within 3 business days.
Payment is due before delivery for events and short-term rentals. Monthly rentals and construction contracts can be billed on the 15th and last day of the month. We accept check, ACH and credit card. If you need to extend a rental, call 48 hours before pickup. Extending a weekly unit to a monthly unit costs less per day. Same logic applies to restroom trailer rental, the longer you rent, the lower the daily rate.
Standard units and deluxe portable toilets operate in winter. Freezing pipes won't happen because holding tanks sit below the frost line. We check weather forecasts and increase service frequency if ice forms on the seat or if the holding tank empties slowly. Heavy snow may delay pickup or delivery by one day. We'll notify you in advance.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. We can help you reach the right department, but you'll need approval. Private property, a driveway, parking lot or job site, doesn't require a permit in most cases, though some HOAs restrict it. Always check your property deed or landlord agreement first.
Yes. Saturday service costs more than weekday service. We schedule weekend pickups and extra pumps based on event timing. Request it when you book, and we'll quote weekend pricing separately.
Human waste, toilet paper and whatever people flush. On construction sites, crews sometimes throw cigarette butts and gum in the tank. That slows our pump and damages our hose. Don't flush anything except toilet paper and human waste. Grease, diapers, paper towels and cloth will cost you an extra service call.
The tank on a standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons. The toilet gets harder to flush and the smell gets stronger as it fills. That's your signal. Our weekly service schedule keeps that from happening. If you're renting for only a day or weekend, we pump before delivery, you're starting with a full tank of fresh blue liquid.
