No More Stinky Septic Problems

About Me

No More Stinky Septic Problems

When I moved into my new house, I assumed that the residence used a city sewage system like the four houses I lived in previously. The homeowner did not tell me about the septic tank and I did not think to ask. Not only was I not informed of the septic system, but I was not told that the tank had not been cleaned in six years. I started to smell a foul odor from my toilet soon after I moved in and there seemed to be a disgusting discharge building on my lawn. I knew that I had a serious problem when raw sewage started to come back up through my toilet. After an investigation by a plumber and an emergency septic service call, my septic tank was emptied and repaired. I now know that septic care is extremely important and I want you to know this too.

Learn How To Rent Portable Toilets For Your Upcoming Community Event

3 May 2017
 Categories: , Blog

Many people choose to throw community outreach events to try to get members of the community to meet one another to build community support and morale. If you are planning one of these events in the near future, you need to be sure that there are ample restrooms available for people to use. Learn what to expect when you go to rent portable toilets for people to use at the event.

You Need to Get Permission to Use the Toilets

Before you can place any portable toilets in a community, you need to get permission from the jurisdiction. There are laws regarding the use of portable toilets in public because they will contain hazardous waste eventually. You may need to go to your local Environmental Protection Agency to find out how to get the proper permits for the use of the portable toilets.

Determine How Many Toilets You Need

You should determine how many toilets you need to rent so that you can get a package deal for the rental costs. You want to be sure that there are ample toilets for the community to use to ensure that no one has an accident and that the toilets do not get so crowded that people resort to going outdoors instead. It is often best to rent more toilets that you think you will need, just to be safe.

Determine How Long You Need the Toilets

You need to ask the company to deliver the toilets at a certain time and pick them up at a certain time. The toilets shouldn't be left in the community overnight because it creates a dangerous situation. Teenagers may think it's funny to try to tip the toilets over, which can create a huge mess. It is best to have the toilets picked up roughly an hour after the event is scheduled to be finished.

When the toilets are delivered, you need to know where you want them to be placed. You will not be able to easily move them around after they are delivered, so be sure to designate an area just for the toilets when setting up for the event. If the company has hand washing stations available for rent, you may want to rent some of those as well so that people can wash their hands after they use the restroom. This will cut down on the germs that are passed throughout the event. For additional information, contact a company like Gotta Go Portable Services.
