A truckmount comes into its own on flood jobs for cleaning up. Once all the damaged contents are skipped the building needs to be washed out and all the crap sucked up. As there is usually no electrics on the truck mount is ideal for this stage of the job. I have done dozens of houses and cellars over the last 2 weeks with my Prowler and Turbo Hybrid hard surface tool, brill.

Why not contact your local, Chem-Dry, Rainbow, Belfor, Munters and Revival operators and see if you can sub-contract. Few of them have truck mounts and all of them have stacks of work.

if you need any help, we have a  good supplier of desiccant machines,

the guys on the tv, the so called specialist saying hhw long to dry a house, the coverage ive seeen so far is one machinr per property, no wonder it will take so long.

we are using dry boxs, and getting good results,

we are ready to move to the flood areas at very short notice.

He may be totally knackered pumping out at one end and it filling up at the other. ;)

Been here and there, (ker ching) looking at opening a full office in southern Spain as only a rep there! :-X

Hope you and family are keeping well

Cut your tong out, efficiency dose not comes into the equation; it’s all down to costs, as preserved. ;) ;)
