I rented a regular unit and a wheelchair accessible unit for a park birthday party. We had a wonderful experience! Our guests were all very impressed with the cleanliness. They even said that the units smelled nice lolI made my reservation 3 months before the event and coordinated to have the units dropped off the morning of the event and they were picked up the following Monday (3 days). Delivery was early and the driver was very courteous.We were provided a lock, chain, and key to secure the units after our event ended. I drove by the park on Monday morning to check on the units and I noticed that the locks had been cut. I contacted Stamback to inform them and they didn't seem concerned and they explained that this is quite common when the units are left at parks. There was no visible damage to the units so Stamback was not concerned, That was a relief!Staff have all been very pleasant to talk to. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Great prices, and great service! Thank you!

I love coming into a job site or event venue and seeing the purple porta potties. They’re consistently clean and in great condition - they obviously take pride in their equipment.They’ve started renting roll off dumpsters too - and like everything else they have, the roll offs are in great shape.It’s surprising how big of an impact that the condition of temporary equipment has on a job site. Stamback is head and shoulders above the rest.

The purple Porta potties of this company are fantastic! The last one that I used even had a hand washing station in mini form inside the potty! These are always clean, never smell and always have extra supplies like toilet paper. I regularly use the one at Synergy Petroleum when I refuel my truck. Keep up the good work!

My husband and I have been familiar with Stamback Services since 2016, along with several contractors who initially utilized especially, Stamback's portable toilets. Their signature "Purple Pots" are now seen everywhere for good reason, all over Tucson and southern Arizona for their high quality standards, both in equipment and sanitary maintenance.Recently they also are launching with equal dedication, their roll-off (purple:) dumpster rentals.Stamback is on call 24/7.. their reputation for commitment to customer service now precedes them.Give Stamback a try and see the difference, we very highly recommend!

I have used Stamback's services on multiple occasions for events. Renting their portable bathrooms & hand washing stations. Their delivery drivers (especially Chris) are very helpful and on time, which is nice, because I had experiences using other services in which they never showed up when they said would. I would highly recommend Stamback for their services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Signs that your septic system may need repairs include:

Slow drains or backups in sinks, toilets, or showers.
Foul odors emanating from drains or the area around the septic tank.
Standing water or damp spots in the yard near the drain field.
Unusual noises such as gurgling sounds in plumbing fixtures.
Visual inspection revealing signs of damage or deterioration in the septic tank or drainfield.

The lifespan of a septic system depends on the material it is made of, the design, installation, previous service, exposure conditions, and maintenance of the system.

A septic tank made of concrete or plastic might last 50+ years, although older tanks may not be as well constructed as newer tanks, however 25 – 30 years is the general lifespan.

Each manufacturer has different projected lifespan estimates, as your specific septic system’s lifespan is based on durability, design, installation, and warranty information.

If your septic system includes a pump, the pumps and controls will need to be replaced every 10 – 20 years. If you have an advanced treatment unit, check with the manufacturer for estimates of lifespan and warranty information.

If your drainfield is more than 25 – 30 years old, the natural biomat that forms in the bottom of the trenches or beds can thicken and reduce the ability of the drainfield to properly discharge the wastewater into the ground. This can cause ponding in the drainfield, surfacing of untreated wastewater, or backing up into the septic tank and into the plumbing in the house.

If your septic system is more than 25 years old, it’s likely your system is close to its useful lifespan. For older units, we recommend you start planning for an upgrade before you are in an emergency septic situation.

There are many signs of a septic system in need of repair. Let the Purple Pros from Stamback inspect your septic system and identify potential repairs (or replacement) based on some of these obvious symptoms:

Water and sewage from toilets, drains, and sinks backing up into the property’s plumbing
Bathtubs, showers, and sinks draining very slowly
Gurgling sounds in the plumbing system
Standing water or damp spots near or over the septic tank or drainfield
Strong odors or sewage smells around the septic tank or drainfield
Soft, wet, or spongy soil (especially when there have been no significant rainfall events) around your drainfield
Bright green, soft, lush grass over the septic tank or drainfield, even during dry weather
Straight pipe discharging untreated wastewater to the ground surface
Algae blooms in nearby lakes or waterbodies
High levels of nitrates or coliform bacteria in surface waters or drinking water wells

The cost of septic repairs can vary widely depending on factors such as the type and extent of the damage, the size of the septic system, and the required repairs. Minor repairs such as fixing a clogged drain or replacing a damaged pipe may cost a few hundred dollars, while more extensive repairs such as repairing a failing drainfield or replacing a septic tank can cost several thousand dollars or more. For an exact quote, please reach out to us.

The duration of septic repairs can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the repairs, the availability of parts and materials, and the weather conditions. Minor repairs may be completed within a few hours to a day, while more extensive repairs may take several days or even weeks to complete. It’s essential to discuss the timeline with us to understand the expected duration of the repairs and any potential disruptions to your daily routine.

Common causes of septic system problems include:

Lack of regular maintenance such as pumping and inspections.
Flushing of non-biodegradable items or chemicals down drains.
Overloading the system with excessive water usage or waste.
Tree roots invading pipes or damaging the drainfield.
Soil compaction or erosion affecting drainage in the drain field. To prevent septic system problems, it’s essential to adhere to regular maintenance schedules, avoid flushing harmful substances, conserve water usage, and protect the septic system from physical damage or environmental factors.

Whether you need to be present during septic repairs depends on the nature of the repairs and your preference as the homeowner. In most cases, homeowners may choose to be present during septic repairs to oversee the work, ask questions, and ensure that repairs are completed to their satisfaction. However, if you’re unable to be present, you can coordinate with us to arrange access to your property and communicate any specific instructions or concerns beforehand.

Regular maintenance from professionals like Stamback is the best method to prevent a septic system failure.

Proper septic system maintenance helps you avoid a septic system failure or full replacement and includes:

Inspecting the entire system every 1 to 3 years
Pumping the septic tank every 3 to 5 years and/or when the solids are two-thirds of the volume in the tank.
Avoiding excess water use (e.g. spreading out laundry use over the week)
Flushing only human waste and toilet paper down the toilet
