Septic Tank Failed? How to Get a Porta Potty Today
What should I do first when my septic fails?
When your septic fails, stop using the plumbing that drains to it, call a septic contractor, and call us for a porta potty. Same-day delivery is often possible in the Waco area when you call early. A monthly rental includes weekly cleaning, so the unit stays usable during a long repair.
- Stop running water into the system.
- Call a licensed septic contractor.
- Call (254) 302-6548 for a unit today.
- Pick a flat spot close to the house.
What does a septic-repair rental cost?
A month-long rental with delivery, pickup and weekly cleaning was quoted at $375 in our recent calls. A senior homeowner on that call asked about a discount and received one. Repairs often run longer than planned, so the rental renews monthly until you call for pickup.
