Emergency Shower Trailers After a Flood, Fire, or Water Outage: A Facility Checklist
A checklist for hospitals, shelters, schools, and plants that lose their showers without warning. Work through it after a flood, fire, burst main, or water outage to decide where an emergency shower trailer or ADA combo can sit, which utilities it can draw on, who meets the driver, and how long a weekly or monthly rental needs to run while repairs proceed.
Key points
- Call your state emergency agency's resources first when the outage is part of a wider event.
- Have the headcount, site address, and utility status ready when you call us.
- Most shower and restroom units are set up in about an hour once on site.
A burst pipe, a flood, or a fire can close a building's showers in an hour. Hospitals, nursing homes, shelters, correctional facilities, and plants still have people who need them that night.
The first hour
- Make the site safe. OSHA's emergency preparedness pages cover worker safety during response and recovery.
- If the outage is part of a wider event, check your state emergency agency; in Nevada, the Office of Emergency Management. Our resources by state list each state's agencies.
- Call us with the address, headcount, dates, and what water, power, and drains still work. We answer 24/7.
What gets delivered
For most facilities, a 22ft Luxury Shower-Restroom Combination Trailer (6 Individual Stalls) or a Luxury Shower-Restroom Combination Trailer (8 Individual Stalls + 1 ADA) covers showers and toilets in one unit, with an ADA stall for patients or residents who need it. Setup takes about an hour once on site with utilities ready; stairs add 5 to 15 minutes, and a ramp 4 to 6 hours.
Rent by the week while repairs run, or by the month for a long rebuild. We confirm availability before giving a delivery time.
