How We Started
The owner grew up watching his father run a small septic service in Racine. He saw how many job sites scrambled last-minute for toilets, how often the wrong unit showed up, and how rare it was to get a same-day pump-out when a tank backed up. In 2009, he rented his first five porta potties from a supplier 30 miles away and started taking calls himself. Within two years, demand in Racine forced him to buy his own fleet. Today we maintain over 600 units on our lot, stock our own parts, and answer calls in-house. Emergency septic service and emergency porta potty rental are available seven days a week because we know breakdowns don't wait for business hours.
What We Do
Racine Porta Pros operates five service lines. Standard porta potty rental covers most job sites and small events, a unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground. For crews handling paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities, and we provide handwashing stations with soap and towel service under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). ADA accessible porta potties meet ADA Standards section 213.2, at least one unit in every five must be wheelchair accessible when units are clustered. Restroom trailers suit weddings and corporate events; deluxe units add flushing and sinks. Roll-off dumpsters haul debris from demolition and renovation. Septic tank pumping keeps home systems flowing, tanks typically pump every 3 to 5 years depending on household size. Storage containers store materials on site. Temporary fencing secures work zones. We also rent grease trap pumping for restaurants and commercial kitchens.
Why Racine Crews Call Us First
We own our trucks and hold EPA certifications for waste transport and disposal. No subcontractor delays. A standard unit on a construction site runs about 150 dollars per day, and monthly porta potty rental costs less per day than daily rates. Delivery takes 24 to 48 hours for dumpsters; porta potties arrive same-day if you call before noon. We service every unit weekly under the baseline interval set by ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for sanitation, meaning your crew always has fresh supplies. How often are porta potties cleaned explains our schedule. Racine is our home, we know the streets, the permit office, and which neighborhoods have tight alleys where a 60-foot roll-off clearance matters. Mount Pleasant, Caledonia and Kenosha are all within 12 miles, and we respond to those sites with the same speed as jobs in Racine proper.
The Team
Five full-time service technicians drive routes five days a week. Two office staff answer the phone and schedule. The owner handles large contracts and oversees fleet maintenance. Everyone here has pumped a tank, unclogged a unit or wrestled a porta potty into a basement renovation, we hire people who've done the work.

How many porta potties does an OSHA construction site need?
Under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), one toilet facility serves 20 workers or fewer; one seat and one urinal per 40 workers from 20 up; one seat and one urinal per 50 workers at 200 or more. OSHA portable toilet requirements walks through the math.
What if my septic tank backs up on a weekend?
Call us. Emergency septic service operates seven days. Backup and overflow are urgent, the sooner we pump, the faster your system flows again.
