Provided is a deployable, foldable fluid collection bag which may be selectively deployed as desired by the user. The bag may be configured to fit in tight spaces and be deployed to collect fluid which leaks during plumbing repairs and installations. The bag may be fabricated from a unitary piece of material and include a base, a first panel and a second panel. The first panel may be coupled to the end portions of the base and to the second panel to define a pair of opposed sidewalls and a pair of opposed end walls.

1. A deployable fluid collection bag comprising: a base wall defining a pair of opposed end edges and a pair of opposed lateral portions extending between the pair of opposed end edges;a first panel integrally coupled to the base wall adjacent a respective one of the pair of opposed lateral portions
1. A deployable fluid collection bag comprising: a base wall defining a pair of opposed end edges and a pair of opposed lateral portions extending between the pair of opposed end edges;a first panel integrally coupled to the base wall adjacent a respective one of the pair of opposed lateral portions, the first panel including a first sidewall and a pair of first end portions integrally formed with the first sidewall and disposed on opposed ends of the first sidewall, the first sidewall including a first aperture to define a first handle, each first end portion defining a first base edge and a first end edge, each first base edge being coupled to a respective one of the pair of opposed end edges to form a fluid-tight seal between the base wall and the pair of first end portions; anda second panel integrally coupled to the base wall adjacent a respective one of the pair of opposed lateral portions, the second panel including a second sidewall and a pair of second end portions disposed on opposed ends of the second sidewall, the second sidewall including a second aperture to define a second handle, each second end portion defining a second base edge and a second end edge, each second base edge being coupled to a respective one of the pair of opposed end edges to form a fluid-tight seal between the base wall and the pair of second end portions, each second end edge being coupled to a respective first end edge to form a fluid tight seal between respective ones of the pair of first end portions and the pair of second end portions. 2. The deployable fluid collection bag of claim 1, wherein the first panel and the second panel are configured to be independently and selectively moveable relative to the base between a collapsed position and a deployed position. 3. The deployable fluid collection bag of claim 1, wherein the first panel and the second panel are configured to be moveable relative to the base between a collapsed position and a deployed position, the first aperture being coaxially aligned with the second aperture when the first and second panels are moved to the deployed position. 4. The deployable fluid collection bag of claim 1, wherein the pair of first end portions and the pair of second end portions collectively define a pair of end walls, each end wall having an aperture formed therein to define a respective handle. 5. The deployable fluid collection bag of claim 4, wherein each aperture is completely formed within one of the pair of first end portions and the pair of second end portions. 6. The deployable fluid collection bag of claim 1, wherein the fluid collection bag is formed from a single sheet of material. 7. The deployable fluid collection bag of claim 6, wherein the material is plastic. 8. The deployable fluid collection bag of claim 1, wherein the base is formed of a continuous sheet of material. 9. A deployable fluid collection bag comprising: a base wall defining a pair of opposed end edges and a pair of opposed lateral portions extending between the pair of opposed end edges;a first panel integrally coupled to the base wall adjacent a respective one of the pair of opposed lateral portions, the first panel including a first sidewall and a pair of first end portions integrally formed with the first sidewall and disposed on opposed ends of the first sidewall, each first end portion defining a first base edge and a first end edge, each first base edge being coupled to a respective one of the pair of opposed end edges to form a fluid-tight seal between the base wall and the pair of first end portions; anda second panel integrally coupled to the base wall adjacent a respective one of the pair of opposed lateral portions, the second panel including a second sidewall and a pair of second end portions disposed on opposed ends of the second sidewall, each second end portion defining a second base edge and a second end edge, each second base edge being coupled to a respective one of the pair of opposed end edges to form a fluid-tight seal between the base wall and the pair of second end portions, each second end edge being coupled to a respective first end edge to form a fluid tight seal between respective ones of the pair of first end portions and the pair of second end portions;the pair of first end portions and the pair of second end portions collectively defining a pair of end walls, each end wall having an aperture formed therein to define a respective handle. 10. The deployable fluid collection bag of claim 9, wherein the first panel and the second panel are configured to be independently and selectively moveable relative to the base between a collapsed position and a deployed position. 11. The deployable fluid collection bag of claim 9, wherein the first sidewall includes a first aperture to define a first handle and the second sidewall includes a second aperture to define a second handle, the first panel and the second panel being configured to be moveable relative to the base between a collapsed position and a deployed position, the first aperture being coaxially aligned with the second aperture when the first and second panels are moved to the deployed position. 12. The deployable fluid collection bag of claim 9, wherein each aperture is completely formed within one of the pair of first end portions and the pair of second end portions. 13. The deployable fluid collection bag of claim 9, wherein the fluid collection bag is formed from a single sheet of material. 14. The deployable fluid collection bag of claim 13, wherein the material is plastic. 15. The deployable fluid collection bag of claim 9, wherein the base is formed of a continuous sheet of material.
