Port-a-Potties ? An Emergency Best Friend? Absolutely!
It can happen at any time: unforeseen situations that lead to inoperable toilets. Whether it's an ice storm that knocks out power, frozen pipes that disrupt the flow of water, or a backed-up sewer line ? not having a working toilet can become a real issue, very quickly, for a home or business. Amid these types of circumstances, there is good news, however: Chem Can offers a complete line of portable toilets for emergencies such as these. From basic port-a-potties to Luxury Restroom Trailers that offer flushing toilets, sinks with running water and much more, Chem Can is only a phone call, away!
These emergencies can happen to anyone:
Power Outages
Power outages can take place due to ice storms, destructive winds, lightening, disturbed underground cables due to excavation digging, etc. While some toilets can operate without power, toilets that rely on a pump to operate, won't function during a power outage. It's always a good idea to be proactive and keep empty jugs of water on hand in case toilets will need to be flushed in this manner. If a power outage has you wondering what to do without a functioning toilet, Chem Can's port-a-potties can become your emergency best friend!
Flooded Bathrooms
Burst pipes and leaks can lead to a flooded bathroom. Flooring, sub-flooring, baseboards, and sheet-rock can be irreparably damaged. Shutting off the water supply to stop any water flow is step one but, unfortunately, repair and clean-up for this type of damage can take days or weeks. Chem Can's port-a-potties can help ease the stress the inconvenience of a flooded bathroom can cause.
A Blocked Sewer Drain
Blocked sewer drains can happen, unexpectedly. Small toys that children flush down toilets can cause a blocked sewer drain as well as kitchen grease that solidifies, an overabundance of non-flushable wipes, tree roots that grow into sewer drains, etc. One of the first tell-tale signs of a blockage that prevents the waste water from flowing to the underground sewer mains would be toilets that 'percolate' ? like a coffee pot ? after the washing machine finishes its cycle ? or, if you notice water puddling around the floor drain in the basement.
If the problem is an especially-serious one, extensive damage inside a home can result, and a backhoe and other heavy-duty equipment may need to be deployed to replace part of the sewer line. Again, Chem Can's port-a-potties are, always, available.
A Backed-Up Sewer
Sewer back-ups could be considered one of the worst situations that would lead to inoperable toilets in your home. This situation is especially horrific since raw sewage can back up and come out through the drains due to torrential rains and weather-related flooding. As a side-note: most insurance policies do not cover this condition, but coverage can be added on for a nominal cost. If a backed-up sewer were to happen in your home, Chem Can will be there to provide the sanitary solution you need until the repairs are complete.
