Porta Potty or Restroom Trailer During an Arizona Home Remodel?

A bathroom remodel can make a house much better when it is finished. Living through the work is another matter, especially when the property has only one usable bathroom.

Temporary bathroom rentals allow homeowners to stay at home while plumbing, tile, fixtures or an entire bathroom are being replaced. Canyon State Waste offers residential bathroom rentals as well as conventional portable toilets, restroom trailers and shower trailers throughout Central Arizona.

The best option depends on how long the bathroom will be unavailable and what facilities remain inside the house.

A Standard Portable Toilet Solves the Basic Problem

If the home still has a working shower and sink but temporarily lacks a toilet, a standard portable restroom may provide everything necessary.

It requires relatively little space and does not need the permanent plumbing work associated with building another bathroom.

Canyon State Waste also rents standard units with sinks for homeowners who want hand washing in the same unit.

For a short project, this can be the simplest and most economical arrangement.

A Restroom Trailer Provides More Familiar Facilities

A restroom trailer is a considerable step up in comfort.

Canyon State Waste describes its trailers as modern units with sinks, mirrors and hot and cold running water.

For a longer renovation, that can make daily life feel much closer to using a normal indoor restroom. Trailer rentals can be especially appealing when several family members need the temporary facilities or when the project affects more than one bathroom.

Competitors also market restroom trailers specifically for renovations because they provide a more residential style experience during extended work.

Think About Shower Access Separately

If the remodel removes the home’s only shower, a toilet alone does not solve the problem.

Canyon State Waste offers portable shower trailer rentals in addition to restroom equipment. The company lists shower trailers among its main temporary sanitation services.

Before reserving anything, write down exactly what will be unavailable during each phase of construction.

A remodel may leave the toilet usable during demolition but remove the shower later. The temporary rental can then be planned around the actual construction schedule instead of paying for equipment that is not yet needed.

Check Your Driveway and Utility Access

A portable toilet can fit in places where a restroom or shower trailer cannot.

Larger trailers need enough room for delivery, setup and eventual removal. Depending on the equipment, access to electricity, freshwater or wastewater storage may also be part of the installation.

Canyon State Waste offers holding tanks alongside its trailers and portable restroom equipment.

Discuss the property before delivery. Gates, narrow driveways, landscaping, overhead branches and street parking can all affect the best location.

Match Comfort to the Length of the Remodel

A three day plumbing repair and a six week bathroom renovation are very different experiences.

For a short interruption, most homeowners may be satisfied with a simple portable restroom. During a longer project, additional comfort becomes more valuable.

There is also nothing wrong with choosing different equipment for different stages. Start with a portable toilet, then add shower facilities if the project reaches the point where the home’s shower cannot be used.

Planning around the construction calendar gives you more control over the rental.
