When you need an emergency rental
Commercial plumbing failures, sewer backups, broken water mains, post-flood damage, fire-sprinkler discharge, red-tagged buildings, wildfire evacuation centers, base camps for fire crews, and post-earthquake response. In each case, the question is not whether you need portable sanitation — it is how fast you can get it on site.
Vesper's emergency response standard
We answer the after-hours dispatch line 24/7. For verified emergencies in San Diego County we can typically have a clean, fully stocked unit on site within 2–4 hours. For larger deployments (multiple units, hand-wash stations, ADA units, holding tanks), 4–8 hours.
What to have ready when you call
Property address, your contact name and number, the on-site contact name and number (often a property manager or facility supervisor), how many people will be using the unit and for how long, whether the placement is on private property or in the public right-of-way, and whether ADA accessibility is required (almost always yes for tenant-facing commercial).
For property managers and commercial buildings
Tenant-facing emergencies almost always justify deluxe flushing units paired with hand-wash stations, not standard construction units. Tenants notice. We can typically issue a same-day COI naming your building owner and management company as additional insured.
For wildfire and disaster response
We carry surge inventory specifically for fire-season deployments and have working relationships with several San Diego County base-camp operators. Our trucks are equipped for unimproved-road deployments and our drivers are familiar with the back-country access points used during recent fires.
Insurance reimbursement
Most commercial property and business-interruption policies reimburse portable sanitation costs incurred as part of a covered loss. Save the COI, the delivery ticket, the service reports, and the final invoice — and submit them with your claim.
