Hurricane season porta potty tips

What happens to rented units when a storm heads for the Lowcountry.

Austin Rental Works · Beaufort, SC

The season

June 1 to November 30

The busiest storm weeks fall from mid-August into October.

Before the storm

Pump, then strap or pick up

We pump units first. Then units get strapped to something solid or brought back to the yard.

Low lot?

Choose pickup

Marsh-front and low lots flood. A strapped unit can still float in deep water.

Two days out

Clear the path

Move loose lumber away, open the gate or text the code, and confirm your plan with dispatch.

After the storm

Units for cleanup crews

Same-day delivery after a storm depends on road access. Call early to get on the first runs.

Book it

Set your storm plan now

Call before the next watch and we note strap or pickup for each unit.
