Who We Are
We're a family-run business built on the principle that sanitation infrastructure matters. A construction site without toilets stalls. An event without restrooms fails. A septic backup ruins a week. Cathedral City Porta Pros exists to make sure that doesn't happen to you. Our dispatchers work nights and weekends. Our service techs know the routes by heart. We've pumped septic tanks during power outages, delivered portable units to film sets on 4-hour notice and picked up dumpsters from residential jobs on Saturday morning. That's the work. Show up on time, leave the unit clean, answer the phone.
We rent standard porta potties, deluxe flushable units, ADA accessible models and restroom trailers ranging from 2 to 8 stalls. Cathedral City hosts everything from small home renovations to large-scale construction projects, and we stock units to match. A standard unit holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall. Our deluxe models include flushable toilets and sinks. ADA units meet accessibility standards with 60 inch turning circles and clear door openings of 32 inches, built to ADA Standards section 213.2 requirements for single-user clustering.
Why Construction Sites Use Us
OSHA mandates sanitation on job sites. The rule is straightforward: 1 toilet for every 20 workers or fewer, 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 to 200, and 1 per 50 workers at 200 or more, per OSHA 1926.51(c)(1). We've built relationships with Cathedral City's largest contractors because we understand the code and deliver on schedule. A general contractor with 120 workers needs 2 toilets and 2 urinals minimum by Monday morning; that's what gets delivered. When a project moves to a new site, we relocate. When a unit fails, we swap it. Roll-off dumpsters for debris require about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and we scout locations with the site supervisor to get it right.
We also service farms, events, disaster relief operations and wedding venues across the Coachella Valley. Cathedral City sits 7.1 miles northeast of Palm Springs and 11.6 miles northwest of Desert Hot Springs, putting us close to event spaces and hospitality operations that need portable restrooms on short notice. Whether you're running a wedding, festival, golf tournament or film set, we have the unit mix and dispatch speed.
What We Service
Septic pumping is our second-largest business line. A residential tank typically needs pumping every 3 to 5 years, depending on household size and tank capacity. We also pump commercial grease traps when fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25 percent of the liquid depth. Handwashing stations come with soap and towel dispensers; under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), hand sanitizer does not substitute for a proper washing facility. We rent storage containers for tool lockup and equipment staging on job sites. Temporary fencing is standard for perimeter control, debris containment and crowd management.
We answer phones. We return calls within 2 hours. We show up with the unit you booked, not a substitute. Pricing depends on duration and unit type; daily rental, weekly rental and monthly rental rates differ, and events are quoted by scope. See our cost guide or call to discuss your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long has Cathedral City Porta Pros been in business?
We've been operating since 2008. We started with 3 units and a pickup truck. We now maintain over 800 units across 14 service vehicles and serve the Coachella Valley from Desert Hot Springs to Coachella.
Do you offer same-day delivery in Cathedral City?
Yes. Rental placement depends on availability and location. Call us to confirm delivery for your site. We prioritize job sites and emergency situations.
What's the difference between a standard porta potty and a deluxe model?
Standard units are chemical toilets. Deluxe models have flushable toilets and sinks, so they're more comfortable for office sites and events where users expect restroom amenities.
Are your ADA units really accessible?
Yes. They meet ADA Standards for 32 inch door openings, 60 inch turning circles and operable parts that require no more than 5 pounds of force. We cluster them so at least one unit per group is accessible.
Can I rent a unit for a single day, or is there a minimum?
We rent by the day, week, month or event. Pricing varies by duration and unit type. Call to discuss your exact dates.
