Our Pre-Delivery Site Checklist for Ann Arbor

We don't just drop a unit anywhere. A bad placement in Old Fourth Ward or a Main Street event can cause headaches for everyone. Here's our field-tested process. First, I or a lead driver will visit your site. We're looking at the ground — is it firm, or will it turn to mud? We note any low spots that could flood. We measure access for our truck and for the pump-out rig later. In tight spots, we might recommend a crane-liftable toilet. We also check for overhead wires or branches. Then we talk it through with you. This upfront work prevents most service issues and keeps your site compliant. It's why we've got a perfect delivery record since 2008.

Key Compliance Checks

  • We'll check the site's slope and drainage — a flat spot on a slight grade is ideal to prevent pooling.
  • Our crew verifies accessibility for our truck and any future pump-out service; tight Kerrytown alleys need planning.
  • I always inspect for overhead clearance, especially under Main Street banners or near construction cranes.
  • We confirm the unit's door swings clear and the path to it is stable, even after a thaw.
  • Finally, we mark the spot and get your approval before we drop the standard construction unit.

Our Approach to Sanitation in Ann Arbor: Built on Local Experience

After that brutal winter a few years back, I realized our job isn't just about renting toilets. It's about solving a very human problem for our community, often under less-than-ideal conditions. Whether it's a university event needing ADA-compliant units or a new mixed-use build in the Old Fourth Ward requiring durable construction units, we start by listening. We've learned that the right equipment, placed thoughtfully and maintained proactively, makes all the difference. Our philosophy is simple: use our hard-won, local knowledge to take the worry off your plate, so you can focus on your event or project. You tell us the 'where' and 'when,' and we'll handle the 'how' with care.

    Plan for Ann Arbor's Weather, Not Against It

    We've been through enough Michigan winters and surprise summer downpours to know you can't just drop a unit and hope. Our setups account for freeze-thaw cycles, ground stability, and wind loads from the get-go.
    In Practice

    We use heated options near the University of Michigan Hospital for winter events, no questions asked.

    Match the Unit to the Neighborhood's Vibe

    A high-traffic festival in Kerrytown needs a different sanitation solution than a quiet construction site in the Old Fourth Ward. We think about foot traffic, aesthetics, and access before we ever load a truck.
    In Practice

    For a Downtown Main Street art fair, we'd recommend our luxury restroom trailer over a standard unit.

    Build Your Setup for Safety First

    A wobbly handwash station or a poorly lit unit is an accident waiting to happen. Our crew's OSHA training means we secure every unit, mark every cord, and think through crowd flow for you.
    In Practice

    We always bring extra lighting and non-slip mats for events in flood-prone areas, even if it's a low-risk zone.

    Service is What Happens After We Drop It Off

    Anyone can deliver a porta potty. Real sanitation means managing waste levels, keeping supplies stocked, and being on-call if something goes sideways. That's the service part of our name.
    In Practice

    We monitor usage for multi-day events in Kerrytown and adjust our pumping schedule to prevent any issues.

When you need it, and you need it *now*. We get it there.
