Andy Gump

What Andy Gump does

Andy Gump, Inc. is a third-generation, family-owned provider of portable restrooms and temporary site services headquartered in Santa Clarita, California. Founded by Massena "Andy" Gump through the 1946 purchase of a San Fernando Valley septic service business for $300, the company pivoted into portable sanitation in the 1950s when California enacted ordinances requiring restrooms on construction sites. Andy and his sons Barry and Bill built the company's first five portable units out of scrap plywood in their Mission Hills garage, originally operating as Mission Sanitation. The company is now led by third-generation Nancy Gump-Melancon following a 2012 leadership transition from her father Barry Gump. Andy Gump serves three primary customer segments — commercial and residential construction, special events (weddings, corporate events, festivals, award shows, charity tournaments), and film/TV production — through five operational locations across Southern California (Santa Clarita HQ, North Hollywood, Fontana, Lancaster, and San Diego) covering Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange, Riverside, Ventura, San Bernardino counties, Antelope Valley, and Palm Springs.

The company's core product portfolio spans a tiered lineup of portable restrooms (basic porta potties, VIP flushing units, ADA-compliant single units), luxury restroom trailers across the Executive (5–7 station), Royale (2–12 station), Platinum (7–11 station), and Majestic/VIP (2–6 station) series with porcelain fixtures, hot and cold water, air conditioning, and premium interior finishes, plus handwash stations (Breeze, Bravo, 3-basin hot/cold sinks), temporary fencing (chain link and panel), temporary power (mains, poles, service drops), storage containers, and barricades. Premium units are manufactured to Andy Gump's specifications by partner suppliers including NuConcepts (VIP flushing units and ADA-compliant standalone units), Ameri-Can Engineering (Platinum series trailers with pewter porcelain sinks and custom artwork), Olympia Fiberglass Industries (Executive trailer), and PolyJohn Enterprises (Fleet Series units). The fleet comprises approximately 250 Satellite Maxim 3000 standard units, 100 NuConcepts VIP flushing units, and 90+ restroom trailers. The company holds PSAI (Portable Sanitation Association International) and ARA (American Rental Association) memberships and carries WOSB (Women-Owned Small Business) certification.

Andy Gump generates revenue through rental and service contracts priced per unit and per event, with quotes determined by event type, duration, attendee volume, and unit tier. Distribution is sales-led: enterprise construction accounts (Lennar Homes across all Santa Clarita valley jobs, Shea Homes, KB Home) are managed by account managers, while special-event and film/TV clients engage via the 800-992-7755 sales line, website quote requests, or a customer payment portal. The company has serviced marquee accounts including the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics (300 units at the Coliseum), the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics (a roughly $3 million multi-trailer project), the Emmy Awards, Golden Globes, SAG Awards, Critics' Choice Awards, the Rose Bowl Game and Tournament of Roses Parade, the Breaking Dawn: Part 2 premiere, the Prince William charity polo match at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club, and a Chevy Sonic Super Bowl commercial appearance. The company is privately held, has rejected acquisition approaches from larger solid-waste operators including BFI and Waste Management, and does not publicly disclose financials.

Broad incumbents

• Waste Management: Largest North American waste and environmental services company with portable sanitation offerings through its WM segment. Has previously approached Andy Gump about acquisition; broad incumbent with overlapping sanitary services capabilities.
• United Rentals: Largest equipment rental company in North America with a broad fleet including temporary site solutions, portable toilets, fencing, and storage. Overlaps with Andy Gump on portable restrooms and temporary site services but does not specialize in the premium events vertical.
• Sunbelt Rentals: Major equipment rental company offering portable sanitation, temporary fencing, power, and climate control across the U.S. Broad incumbent with overlapping temporary site services and the capital to compete for SoCal construction contracts.

Direct peers

• VIP Restrooms: Specialty provider of luxury portable restroom trailers for weddings, corporate events, and high-end gatherings. Direct competitor to Andy Gump's Executive, Royale, and Platinum trailer lines in the premium events niche.
• United Site Services: Largest national portable sanitation company offering portable restrooms, temporary fencing, and site services across construction, events, and industrial markets. Directly comparable business model and customer base, but operates nationally rather than regionally.

Direct competitor on construction site bundling, similar in scope to Andy Gump's construction offerings but at larger national scale.

Regional players
