Please see below for some frequently asked questions about our porta potties, the ordering process, how we service our cans on-site, and our septic services.
What areas do you serve?
We take pride in providing portable restroom rentals in a service area that includes Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and most of Connecticut. If you’re in the Greater Boston area, you can count on us for prompt, professional service. If you need to determine whether we cover your location, give us a call!
How long in advance do I need to order a portable toilet?
We encourage our clients to give at least 2 days advance notice for 1 toilet. For 2 or more toilets please try to give us a week. We are very responsive and the best in the industry at same-day service, but we make no guarantee.
Do you provide handicap-accessible portable restrooms?
Yes, we offer handicap-accessible portable toilets in addition to our standard portable toilets. These units feature extra space for wheelchair maneuverability and caregivers. These units are ideal for public events and ensure comfort and privacy for all guests.
Do you offer luxury portable toilets?
Yes, for upscale events such as weddings and corporate gatherings, we offer porta potties equipped with flushing toilets and in-unit hand washing stations. These are popular units for event organizers wanting to provide their guests with an enhanced portable restroom experience.
Can I rent porta potties for construction sites?
Yes, we regularly provide customers with portable toilets for construction sites of all kinds. Our durable units are designed for heavy use and serviced on schedule for your crew’s convenience.
Can I order a toilet for just one day?
Yes, we do a lot of 1-day events. Typically for a Saturday party, we drop off a spotless porta potty on Thursday or Friday and we pick it up on Monday.
Where can I place my porta potty?
We make every effort possible to place your toilet in the exact spot you want. Three things to consider are level ground, proper lighting, and easy access for servicing. Please keep in mind our trucks have a 30-foot hose!
What is included in my weekly service?
Weekly service includes pumping the tank, cleaning and sanitizing the interior and exterior of your unit, restocking all supplies such as toilet paper and hand sanitizer, and replacing or repairing all broken parts of the unit.
Where does the waste go after the tank is pumped?
Our team transports the waste to a number of local wastewater facilities where they break it down in accordance with local regulations.Â
How often will my toilet be serviced?
Our base prices include one service per week. Additional services can be added at an extra cost. Please allow our team access to your toilet on service day.Â
Will my porta potty be clean for my event?
Yes, we use different-grade toilets for events, so your toilet will never have seen a construction site! Also, all cans are dropped off spotless.Â
How do you keep the waste from freezing in the winter?
We mix in antifreeze with our deodorizing water mix which is all placed in the tank. This keeps the waste unfrozen in colder climates. These products and all the products we use at Royal Porta Johns are safe for the wastewater treatment facility.
How do I request a quote for a portable toilet rental?
You can contact us by phone, email, or through our website form. We’ll provide a free quote based on the number of units, rental length, and type of event or project.
How often should my septic tank be pumped?
Most residential septic tanks should be pumped approximately every 3-5 years. However, the right schedule depends on several factors, including: the size of your tank, the number of people in your household, daily water usage, and the age and condition of your septic tank. If you’re unsure about your schedule, Royal Porta Johns can help evaluate your system and recommend a maintenance plan that fits your property.
What are the warning signs of septic system problems?
Common indicators that your septic system may need attention include sewage backing up into sinks, toilets, or tubs, slow-draining tubs, gurgling sounds in your plumbing, standing water or soggy areas near the drain field, strong sewage odors around your yard, and unusually bright or fast-growing grass over the septic field. If you notice any of these signs, contact Royal Porta Johns right away. Early intervention can prevent more serious and expensive damage.
Do I need septic service if my system seems to be working fine?
Yes. Septic problems often develop gradually and may not show obvious symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Routine maintenance and inspections from Royal Porta Johns help identify potential concerns such as rising sludge levels, worn components, or restricted flow before they lead to costly repairs.
How long does a septic tank repair take?
Repair times vary depending on the issue. Minor repairs, such as filter replacement or pipe clearing, may be completed in a single visit. Structural repairs or more complex problems may require additional time. After diagnosing the issue, our team will provide a clear explanation of the timeline.
How much does septic tank repair cost?
Costs depend on the severity of the damage, accessibility of the tank, and the specific components involved. At Royal Porta Johns, we provide transparent estimates so you can make an informed decision before any work begins.
