What public records show for food service in Lakewood
Past emergency
Lakewood and DR-4116
FEMA has made 3 major disaster declarations for McHenry County since 2000; the latest, DR-4116, severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding, was declared on May 10, 2013 after an incident that began April 16, 2013, and it covered Lakewood. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. For a school, care home, or shelter in Lakewood, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Lakewood
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for McHenry County since 2016. When construction near a hospital, school, or care home in Lakewood cuts utilities or closes a kitchen in phases, a facility could lease a mobile kitchen trailer and a dishwashing trailer for the length of the work.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Lakewood
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Lakewood can schedule a temporary commercial kitchen for the work, sized to its menu, meal counts, and the electrical service on site, instead of closing its kitchen.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Lakewood
Illinois is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, McHenry County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Illinois are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Lakewood would travel I-55 and local routes, as it would for nearby Crystal Lake and Lake in the Hills. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a nursing home kitchen in Lakewood
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Lakewood's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.
1. Situation
Suppose a nursing home kitchen in Lakewood schedules a 3-month renovation, rebuilding its walk-in cooler and freezer, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), parked near the loading dock, where staff can move food between the trailers and the serving line.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-55 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 3 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.5. Estimated rental cost
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 per month on our starting price list, or about $35,655 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
