Need a Temporary Toilet Rental for Kitchen Remodel? Here's What Actually Works

Your contractor just confirmed it. The water will be shut off for three full days while they replumb your kitchen. Maybe longer if something unexpected comes up.

You're staying in your home during the remodel. That's smart—hotels add up fast. But you need a real solution for those days without a working bathroom.

We hear this every week at Light It Up – Rent To Go. A temporary toilet rental for kitchen remodel projects keeps families comfortable at home while the work gets done. And yes, it's cleaner and quieter than you think.

Can I Rent a Toilet for My House During a Kitchen Remodel?

Absolutely. We deliver flushable porta potty rental for home use all across Orange County NY, Rockland County NY, and Bergen County NJ.

These aren't the plastic boxes you see at construction sites. Our residential units flush like a real toilet. They have a hand-washing station built in. The waste goes into a sealed holding tank that we maintain weekly.

Most kitchen remodels only need the unit for 3–7 days. We deliver it the morning your water shuts off and pick it up the day it's back on. You're never stuck without a bathroom.

What's the Best Portable Bathroom Porta Potty When Our Water Is Shut Off?

For a temporary bathroom rental during remodel, you want three things:

  1. A flushing system — You're living at home. You deserve better than a basic porta john.
  2. Low odor — Our units use eco-friendly deodorizer and sealed holding tanks. No smell inside or around the unit.
  3. Easy placement — We set it up on your driveway, side yard, or wherever works best. If your HOA has rules, we help you stay compliant.

Our most popular model for homeowners is the flushable unit with a handwash station. It looks clean. It works like a real bathroom. And it keeps your family (and any visiting relatives) comfortable during the chaos of a remodel.

Will a Flushable Porta Potty Fit in My Driveway?

Yes. Most driveways can handle a standard residential portable toilet rental unit without any issues.

Here's what we need:

  • 4 feet wide by 4 feet deep of clear space
  • A relatively flat surface (we bring leveling blocks if needed)
  • Easy access for our delivery truck

If your driveway is narrow or you have landscaping concerns, we'll walk through your property layout on the phone before delivery. We've placed units in tight spots, steep driveways, and even behind fenced backyards. If there's space, we'll make it work.

How Do You Keep a Rental Porta Potty from Smelling Bad?

This is the #1 question we get from homeowners—and we don't blame you.

Here's how our short-term toilet rental for house renovation stays fresh:

  • Sealed waste tank — Nothing sits open. The flush system keeps waste contained below the bowl.
  • Eco deodorizer — We treat the tank with a safe, effective deodorizer that neutralizes odors on contact.
  • Weekly service included — Even if you only need it for three days, the unit is serviced before delivery. For longer remodels, we pump and clean it weekly at no extra charge.
  • Hand sanitizer and soap — Every unit comes stocked. You're not dealing with a jobsite porta john.

One of our Orange County clients told us, "I was worried it would stink up the whole driveway. Honestly, I've smelled worse bathrooms at gas stations. This thing was fine."

That's the standard we hold ourselves to

Can You Deliver and Pick Up a Porta Potty the Same Week?

Yes. We offer same-day and scheduled delivery across our service area in Orange County NY, Rockland County NY, and Bergen County NJ.

Here's how it usually works:

  • You call or submit a quote request — Let us know your remodel dates and when the water will be off.
  • We confirm placement and delivery — Usually within 24 hours. For urgent needs, we can deliver same-day
  • We deliver and set it up — Our team levels the unit, stocks it with supplies, and walks you through how it works.
  • You use it worry-free — No maintenance on your end. If you need service during the rental, just call.
  • We pick it up — Same day your water comes back on or the next business day.

Billing is simple. No hidden fees. And if the contractor says "just one more day," extending the rental is easy.

Story: Orange County Kitchen Remodel with Zero Bathroom Stress

A family in Orange County reached out to us two days before their kitchen remodel started. The plumber confirmed a three-day water shutoff, and they had two kids under ten who weren't thrilled about the idea of "holding it" or driving to a gas station.

We delivered a temporary toilet rental for kitchen remodel that morning. The unit went along the side of their driveway with a small privacy screen to keep it discreet (HOA requirement). It was a flushable model with a handwash station—clean, modern, and way nicer than they expected.

Our team explained the odor-control system, showed them how the flush worked, and confirmed we'd be back for pickup as soon as the water was restored. The family stayed home the whole time. No hotel. No stress. Just a temporary bathroom that did its job without drama.

When we picked it up four days later (the contractor ran one day over), the dad told us, "This saved us from spending $600 on a hotel. And honestly, it was kind of nice having a bathroom right there while the kitchen was torn apart."

That's exactly why we offer temporary bathroom rental during remodel. You shouldn't have to leave your home just because the water's off for a few days.
