What happens to jobsite porta potties during hurricane season warnings?
When a hurricane warning covers the Rio Grande Valley, reachable long-term units are pumped, then laid down or strapped to something solid. Units on open lots are the priority. Call dispatch as soon as a watch is issued so your site is on the list.
Follow forecasts from the National Hurricane Center.
How can I secure units myself?
Builders can secure porta potties by strapping them to a fence post or stake with a ratchet strap around the unit's middle, never through the door. Move units off low spots that flood. Do not lay a full unit down yourself — waste spills.
How fast can I get units after a storm?
After a storm, recovery crews, shelters and homeowners book units fast. Sites with an open account and a known gate get served first. Call early, and give a dropped pin if street signs are down.
