How to reach Davis Porta Pros
Call us during business hours or submit a request online. A real person picks up the phone. We'll ask what you need, where it goes, and when you need it. If you're renting for a construction site or an event, we'll walk you through the size and quantity. For septic pumping, we ask about your tank size and last service date. For a roll-off dumpster, we confirm the placement location and what you're throwing away, since some materials can't go in. We'll give you a quote on the spot or email it within the hour. Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city, so tell us if that's your plan and we'll help you understand what's required.
Service areas and drive times
Davis Porta Pros covers Davis and the towns nearby. We reach University of California-Davis, which is 2.9 miles southwest, in about 10 minutes. El Macero is 4.5 miles east. Dixon runs 10.5 miles southwest. Winters sits 14.8 miles west. Monument Hills is 16.0 miles northwest. The farther out you are, the more a delivery fee rises, but we'll quote that upfront. A roll-off dumpster delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so if your site is tight, let us know and we'll see what fits.
What to have ready when you call
Tell us the date you need service and how long you'll need it. For a standard porta potty, a deluxe unit, or an ADA accessible toilet, give us the number of people and the duration. For restroom trailers, let us know if you need running water and sewage hookup. For septic tank pumping, a residential tank is typically pumped every 3 to 5 years, so mention when it was last done. For a storage container, tell us what you're storing and whether you need 20 feet or 40 feet. For temporary fencing, measure the perimeter or describe the area. For handwashing stations, note if you need soap and towel dispensers: under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities must include soap and a hand drying device, not hand sanitizer alone.
Do you service emergency calls?
Yes. Call anytime. Septic backups, construction starts, events with short notice, we handle them. Weekend and same-day service costs more, but we quote that when you call.
Can I rent equipment for just one day?
Standard units, deluxe units, ADA units and trailers all rent by the day. Dumpsters rent daily too. Septic pumping is a service call, not a rental, you pay once for the pump and haul. Storage and fencing are typically longer term, but ask and we'll see what works.
Do you handle placement permits?
Placement in the public right of way requires city approval. We can advise you on what Davis requires, but you'll confirm with the city before we drop it. We're happy to walk you through the process.
What if I need to move or cancel?
Call us. We charge a delivery fee for each trip, so if you move a rental to another address in Davis, that's a new delivery. Cancellations depend on how far out your rental is. Call as soon as you know.
Do you rent to homeowners doing renovations?
Yes. Home renovation porta potties and dumpsters are common. Typically a homeowner rents a standard unit or deluxe unit for a few weeks, plus a 20 or 30 yard dumpster. We'll drop both at the same time and pick them up when the job's done.
