Construction Porta Potty Rental in Irving, TX

Conditions for Job Sites

New Housing

About 13.8% of Irving's housing units were built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024), above the U.S. share of 11.4% and higher than three in four U.S. places in our data: newer construction sits alongside older stock, so job sites range from new homes to additions and repairs.

Homes From the 1970s and 1980s

The median year built for Irving's housing is 1986 (ACS 2020–2024), newer than most U.S. places in our data, and 36% of housing units predate 1980. Housing from that era is now 35 to 55 years old; crews replacing roofs, windows or mechanical systems on it need a toilet on site like any other crew.

Apartments, Townhouses and Rentals

The most common housing type is buildings with five or more units, about 48% of units (higher than nine in ten U.S. places in our data), followed by detached houses at about 39% (ACS 2020–2024). Apartment and condo projects bring larger crews, and a property manager decides where units go. About 62% of occupied homes are renter-occupied (ACS; owner share lower than nine in ten U.S. places in our data), so property managers and landlords often book the units for renovations and decide where they stand.

DOE's Building America map puts Dallas County in the Hot-Humid climate region (IECC 2021 zone 2A, PNNL county guide). This region pairs heat with humidity for much of the year; for long rentals in the hot months, ask how often units will be serviced.

Heat

About 106 days a year reach 90°F or more, more than nine in ten U.S. places in our data, so heat is the normal condition for months at a time. About 20 days a year go past 100°F. For long rentals in the hot, humid months, ask how often units will be serviced. For long summer shifts, ask for a summer service frequency, and place units near shade and the crew's drinking water, not out on bare, sun-baked ground.

Occasional Freezes

Only about 29 nights a year reach 32°F (fewer than three in four U.S. places in our data), but one hard freeze is enough to damage anything that holds water. A rare freeze mostly affects hand-wash stations on site; ask what happens to them when one is forecast. Snow is light, about 2 inches in an average year.

Placement and Access

Put units on firm, level ground the service truck can reach, close to where crews work, clear of crane swing, excavation and vehicle routes, and move them as the work moves.

Who to Ask About Local Rules

Irving is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For a unit placed in the street, on a sidewalk or in another public right-of-way next to the job site, ask the Irving city government before you book what applies.

If you rent your home, check with the landlord or property manager before a unit goes on the property.
