Portable sink rental in Des Plaines starts near the delivery fee band of $100 to $150 a day, on standalone units with a fresh water tank, a foot pump or hands-free valve, and a wastewater tank underneath. Des Plaines Porta Pros sets up hand wash stations, hair-washing sinks, and full sink stations for job sites, camps, and events, usually paired with a standard porta potty rental.
A portable sink station is a self-contained unit: fresh water tank on top, sink basin in the middle, gray water tank below to catch the runoff. No plumbing hookup needed, which is why crews use them on job sites where the water line hasn't gone in yet. Some units run on gravity feed, others include a small pump for pressure, and a few offer hot water for hair washing or food service cleanup. Des Plaines Porta Pros delivers units sized for a two-person crew up through a station built for a full construction site or event footprint. Pair one with a portable toilet rental and you've covered the basic sanitation setup most sites need. For sites already running a restroom trailer rental, a separate sink station gives workers a wash point outside the trailer door, which cuts down on trailer traffic and keeps the line moving. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires washing facilities to include soap and towels or a hand-drying device, not sanitizer alone, so check that whatever unit you book comes stocked.
Hand sanitizer doesn't meet the washing facility requirement under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which calls for soap and towels or a dryer. That rule covers general industry sites. On construction sites, OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets toilet counts by crew size, and pairing those units with an actual sink keeps a site compliant rather than just covered. There's also a narrower rule, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), that kicks in specifically when workers are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, or handling other contaminants; that one requires washing facilities on top of the general toilet count. If your Des Plaines crew is doing exterior painting or pesticide work, that's the trigger. A hand wash station also matters for food trucks and vendor booths at events, where health inspectors expect real soap-and-water washing, not a bottle of gel. Check our handwashing station requirements page for the fuller breakdown, and see handwashing station rental for unit options beyond the basic sink.
Yes. Some portable sink stations include a small water heater or an insulated tank that holds warm water for hair washing, which matters for disaster relief sites, long-term camps, and film sets where people need a real wash, not just a rinse. A portable sink to wash hair works the same way as a standard hand sink but usually sits lower or has a reclined basin edge. Camping portable sink setups follow the same design at smaller scale: a jug-fed basin with a foot pump, good for a weekend at a campsite outside Des Plaines. If you're running a longer event, a shower trailer rental is the better fit for full-body washing, while a hair-washing sink station handles quick washes without the footprint of a trailer. Water tank size varies by unit; ask what's on the trailer or stand-alone unit before booking so it matches your headcount for the day.
Pricing depends on unit type, tank size, and rental length. A basic hand wash station runs close to what a standard porta potty rental costs per day, while multi-basin sink stations or units with hot water run higher. Delivery is usually billed separately from the unit itself.

These are delivery and service fee bands drawn from measured rental data, not the sink unit price itself; ask Des Plaines Porta Pros for a unit quote tied to your site and duration through request a quote. Longer rentals bring the per-day delivery cost down, similar to how a monthly porta potty rental beats booking day by day. If you're budgeting a full site setup, our porta potty rental cost page walks through how delivery, service, and unit fees stack for combined orders.
Placement matters too. ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for stable, firm, slip-resistant ground under any accessible fixture, and section 308.2.1 sets a 48 inch maximum reach height, both worth checking if the sink station needs to serve an accessible route alongside an ADA accessible porta potty. Our porta potty placement guide covers ground surface and clearance questions that apply to sink stations too, and if the site sits near a curb or right-of-way, confirm placement with the City of Des Plaines before delivery day since public right-of-way rules aren't something we'll guess at.
Des Plaines sits close to several towns we also serve. Mount Prospect is 3.4 miles northwest, Park Ridge is 4.6 miles southeast, and Elk Grove Village is 6.6 miles southwest, so multi-site orders across that stretch are routine for us. If your project spans city lines, check service areas or look at porta potty rental in Mount Prospect, IL and porta potty rental in Park Ridge, IL for neighboring coverage.
Day, week, and month terms are all available, and pricing improves the longer you commit, the same pattern as our porta potty rental per day options. Most construction crews book monthly; events and camping trips usually book by the day or weekend.
Not strictly, but pairing them makes sense for handwashing after restroom use. Most Des Plaines job sites and events order sink stations alongside a porta john rental or a full portable restroom rental order so both fixtures sit in the same cluster.
Yes, if it's stocked with soap and towels per 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2). Health inspectors at events typically check for that setup specifically, so confirm your unit includes both before the event date, not after.
Yes. Every unit carries its own fresh water tank and a separate gray water tank underneath to hold runoff; there's no hookup to an existing line. Tank size depends on the unit, so match it to your expected headcount and rental length.
Little difference in practice. "Hand wash station" usually means a simple foot-pump basin; "portable sink" sometimes implies a larger basin or hot water option. Check our portable sink rental options against hand sanitizer station rental if sanitizer alone would suffice for your site.
