Who we are
San Mateo Porta Pros started because the owner was tired of waiting three days for service calls. We operate from San Mateo and cover the peninsula fast. When you call on a Tuesday afternoon, you get a human who knows whether your job needs OSHA 1926.51(c) toilet counts or just a backup unit. We've learned what questions matter: Can the delivery truck actually fit? Does your event need ADA accessible units? Will the ground hold a restroom trailer without sinking? Those aren't small details on a job site.
Our team handles portable toilet rental from one unit to forty. We service standard units weekly and respond to emergencies the same day. ADA accessible toilets get placed where they're actually reachable, not tucked behind a trailer. A 60-70 gallon holding tank on a standard unit means fewer emergency pump-outs on a three-week job.
What we do
San Mateo Porta Pros rents everything a construction site or event needs beyond labor. Roll-off dumpsters in four sizes handle demo and debris. Restroom trailers with full plumbing beat portable toilets on long jobs. Septic pumping keeps residential systems running; a tank typically pumped every 3 to 5 years depends on tank size and household size, so we diagnose, not guess. Storage containers secure tools and materials. Temporary fence controls site access and debris. Handwashing stations meet 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requirements with soap and towel dispensers.
We deliver to San Mateo and nearby cities: Foster City is 4.7 miles east, Burlingame 5.0 miles northwest, and Belmont 5.3 miles south. Delivery times matter more than price. You pick the unit. We show up when we say.
How to work with us
Call or email for a same-day quote. Tell us the job size, dates and site access, and we'll name a price that sits inside the measured rental cost ranges for your unit and duration. No hidden fees. Placement needs confirming with the city for anything in the public right of way, and we'll walk you through that. Most jobs start with a site visit so we see what fits where.
We keep units clean. Standard portable toilets get serviced weekly under industry standard ANSI/PSAI Z4.3. Deluxe units come with hand sanitizer, mirrors and better lighting. Restroom trailers have heating, air conditioning and flushing toilets. Emergency service means you call at 3 p.m. on Friday and we're there before close.
How quickly can you deliver in San Mateo?
Same-day delivery on most requests. If you call before 10 a.m. on a weekday, the unit rolls out by end of business. Weekend and emergency deliveries happen but cost more. We keep stock staged so we're not building units to order.
Do you service units on weekends?
Yes. Standard service runs weekly, but weekend pickups cost extra. If your event runs Saturday and Sunday, tell us the dates upfront and we'll price it right.
What's the difference between standard and deluxe?
Standard units have a seat, urinal and holding tank. Deluxe adds hand sanitizer, mirrors, lighting and better ventilation. Cost runs higher but customers report fewer complaints on week-long jobs. See pricing for both.
Can I rent a portable toilet for less than a week?
Yes. Daily rental costs more per day than weekly, and weekend rates sit between. Monthly rental saves the most per day if you know the dates.
Do you handle emergency septic backups?
Yes. Call and we come the same day. We pump, inspect the tank and spot the problem. Most backups mean pumping now and a plumber later, but we've caught cracked pipes and root intrusions early enough to save money.
