#1 in the #2 Business: How SWBC Became the Go-To Insurer for Portable Sanitation

Table of Contents

In the world of commercial insurance, few agencies dare to explore the messy, misunderstood niche of portable sanitation. But SWBC Insurance Services isn’t just any agency; they’re Porta Potty Protectors, proudly #1 in the #2 business.

For over 17 years, SWBC has built a reputation for smart, streamlined insurance solutions across construction, manufacturing, and real estate. Now, they’re making waves in the equipment rental space, with a special focus on portable sanitation, an industry with unique risks and even fewer specialists.

A Principled Approach to Insurance

At the heart of SWBC’s approach is the Principled Path Program, a structured, proactive process that applies to all the industries we serve, from contractors and landlords to portable sanitation providers. It’s designed to eliminate the stress of last-minute renewals, vague coverage, and scattered communication.

Instead of scrambling for quotes, clients receive early engagement, competitive options, and tailored coverage that fits their business. Whether it’s coordinating with carrier underwriters or tightening up safety programs, SWBC’s team ensures every renewal is smooth, strategic, and surprisingly enjoyable.

Why Portable Sanitation?

Portable sanitation may not be glamorous, but it’s essential and can be risky. From fleet management and PPE compliance to hauling and handling hazardous loads, the exposures are real. Most agencies overlook this niche, but SWBC saw an opportunity to specialize, build carrier relationships, and deliver real value.

“Our focus allows us to know the right carriers and programs, ones that others don’t even know exist,” says Darren Meyer, SWBC’s Risk Manager, who works directly with clients to improve safety and secure better terms.

Client Success: Texas Thrones LLC

SWBC’s work in portable sanitation is already making a difference. One standout example is Texas Thrones LLC, a portable restroom rental company based in Portland, Texas. Member Charles Rein shared:

“They helped us find the right insurance coverage at a much better price than we expected, and they made the whole process easy and stress-free. Their customer service is excellent, quick to respond, and always willing to help. Nick & Jarryd are a call or text away and always happy to help.”

From fast certificate turnarounds to hands-on claims support, SWBC’s team delivers reliability that matters.

Meet the Porta Potty Protectors

  • Jarryd Nolen (Austin) and Nick Mernaugh (Gulf Coast) lead the charge.
  • Gabriella Dimbulukeni and Odelia Torres manage carrier relationships and onboarding.
  • Darren Meyer provides risk consulting and carrier liaison support.

Together, they’ve built a process rooted in transparency, intentionality, and long-term partnerships.

Looking Ahead

SWBC is expanding its reach in portable sanitation across the U.S., while also growing into other niches like roofing, real estate, and machine shops. Their goal? More high-five moments, more custom Timelines of Services, and more businesses protected by the Principled Path.
