About the Business
- Employees
- 5
- Facilities & Assets
- This is an enterprise that has grown over the years into a trusted provider of portable sanitation and liquid‑waste services across Southeast Michigan. The current owner has dedicated his entire career to expanding its reach and reputation.
From its single service yard and office, the company built a strong foundation by investing in a substantial rental fleet of portable restroom units, hand‑wash stations, and water stations, supported by vacuum and pump trucks, a tanker, and specialized equipment. The septic services are primarily residential. The portable restroom part of the business has a diversified customer base that includes residential, commercial, construction, municipal, and special‑event clients. The combined business maintains a strong recurring revenue stream through rentals, scheduled servicing, and liquid‑waste hauling.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The company maintains a defensible position in Southeast Michigan due to high barriers to entry and vertical integration. Competitors in the portable sanitation market often rely on subcontractors for liquid‑waste hauling or lack excavation capabilities, while this business controls the full service chain. Key competitive advantages include:
1. Broad product range — offering units that appeal to both compliance‑sensitive jobs and upscale events.
2. In‑house liquid‑waste capacity — multiple vacuum trucks and a 6,300‑gallon tanker allow servicing without outsourcing.
3. Excavation capability — owning a dozer and backhoe enables septic install and repair work, differentiating from pure rental competitors.
4. Vertical integration — delivery, servicing, pumping, hauling, and disposal are all handled internally, supporting high margins and reliability.
5. Turnkey growth platform — the fleet and established customer base provide immediate expansion potential for strategic buyers. - Opportunities for Growth
- The company is well‑positioned for expansion due to its strong gross margins, diversified revenue streams, and substantial owned fleet. Growth opportunities include:
1. Expanding commercial contracts with construction firms and municipalities.
2. Adding excavation services as a bundled offering, creating new revenue streams beyond rentals.
3. Regional route density expansion by acquiring smaller competitors or servicing adjacent markets.
5. Digital scheduling and billing to improve efficiency and customer retention.
