💩 Why it's ugly

You get calls during storms, sewer failures, frozen pipes, water main breaks, and building shutdowns. Nobody is calm when the bathrooms stop working.

💰 Why it prints money

Emergency sanitation is urgent, non-optional, and often paid by property managers, insurers, municipalities, schools, factories, or restoration firms. Fast availability and after-hours response justify premium pricing.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
