Rebuilds on a narrow lot
Most of South Houston was platted long before anyone expected a pickup with a trailer in every driveway, and the lots show it. A South Houston order is usually one standard unit threaded between a fence line and a parked car, which means the driver needs to know the approach before arriving.
Remodels here run long, since South Houston houses tend to be old enough that one repair uncovers three more. We keep the South Houston unit on a fixed weekly service day through the whole job so nobody has to think about calling it in.
Utility cuts and street work
Water and sewer lines under South Houston are old, and crews open the pavement here regularly. A utility job in South Houston gets one unit that moves with the trench, reset each time the barricades walk another block down the avenue.
Because South Houston streets are narrow, placement is negotiated rather than assumed. We park the South Houston unit on the closed side of the work zone where the vacuum hose reaches it and traffic still has a lane to use.
Block parties, church lots and storm cleanup
Community life in South Houston happens on church lots and in school parking lots more than in big parks. For those South Houston bookings, two or three standard units and a handwashing station usually cover a Saturday, with pickup on the following business day.
After a hard rain the low blocks in South Houston take water, and the cleanup afterward is its own kind of work. We put South Houston units at debris staging points and beside gutted houses, and hold them there until the last dumpster is hauled off.
