Switch & Ditch | Improve Your Site Conditions With J Bar

Portable restrooms are often a last minute thought before the start of a construction project (and sometimes a late thought, if we’re being honest!) and there are many elements to construction site sanitation that you may not be aware of. 

At J Bar, we strive to educate our customers about the importance of portable sanitation and what it means for our peers in the construction industry. We not only want to earn your business; we want you to be informed and knowledgeable about what goes on behind the scenes! 

We’ve compiled a list of things to consider when you are looking for a portable toilet company to take care of your needs throughout your project, and some interesting facts you may not know.

Believe it or not, the portable toilet service you receive on the jobsite plays a huge role in your crew’s productivity. When your crew has a clean space to take a break and take care of business, they go about their day feeling respected and empowered. This leads to less down time and a little more pep in your team’s step, and ultimately a higher productivity rate all around. 

The portable restroom rental process doesn’t stop when the unit arrives at your site. To ensure the health and safety of you and your crew, weekly (and sometimes more frequent) service is crucial. At J Bar, our rental includes a weekly service that consists of a 10-step, intensive process performed by our training service stewards. 

Our 10-Step Cleaning Process includes steps like a tank pump out and refill with water and chemicals, a complete power wash of the unit inside and out, a top-to-bottom scrub-down, and a finishing spray of hospital-grade disinfectant that kills bacteria on contact for up to 10 days! 

When looking for a portable toilet company to handle your site rental needs, you will probably not consider how important the restroom floors are to you on the job site (well, until now!). If the restroom you are using has a solid floor, there is less airflow, meaning you can get quite uncomfortable and sweaty.

But fear not! J Bar’s sanitary restrooms have grated floors to allow for better ventilation, and our upgraded Elite sanitary restrooms boost solar-powered ventilation fans up top for a little extra air flow. We understand that working during the steamy Texas summer is not the most enjoyable task, but we are here to improve your conditions as best we can by restoring comfort to those uncomfortable situations. 

Did you know that the industry recommendation for the number of portable restrooms you should have on site is one restroom for every eight people? While it is not yet a jobsite requirement, the portable sanitation industry has put a lot of time, effort, and resources into researching how to provide the best service for our patrons. It’s just a proven fact that a smaller restroom to people ratio is better for everyone. 

That’s right… If you are expecting to have more than 8 people on your jobsite at any given time, you are encouraged to rent two portable restrooms (or twice-a-week service for one restroom) for that site to ensure efficient use of those services. If your workday is projected to be longer than 8 hours, it is best to follow that recommendation as well. 

Sanitation is a very important aspect of any job, whoever and wherever you are. We all want to return home safe and healthy and do our best to not bring germs home to our family and friends. Having adequate restroom services on your job site is an easy way to ensure health and safety for everyone.

Like we said above, your rental experience doesn’t stop once the portable toilet is placed on your jobsite. You deserve excellent service before, during, and after your rental period! One of the many perks of working with a small town business like J Bar is that you are able to interact with a truly lovely group of people on the phone, and a helpful and dedicated team out in the field. 

One of J Bar’s core values is Family, and when you choose J Bar, we welcome you into that family! Our goal is to foster lasting relationships with our customers, communities, and vendors. From beginning to billing (and beyond) our team strives to make sure you are cared for in every step of that relationship.
