flood work

Looking to build the best flood truck .Water extraction only .What would you build?and how? BLOWER ENGINE ETC.Thanks Terry.

PLS KEEP IT SIMPLE ,NOT SO NIMBLE .LOL

 

 

 

I do sub work for  one company.

Run a bruin 2  to clean for them  and flood work,witch is fine for now.

But here in Montreal we have really cold times in Jan ,Feb lots of broken pipers .

Would like to put just a flood truck on the road for them.

Because i have missed about 20 jobs this year.

But don't want to spend the money on a full truck .

Would not to able to keep it working all year round.

What i mean is too much work for one ,but not enought for two.

 

Thanks Terry

Terry: Unless you have a fleet of trucks there is a down side to having just a flood truck if you are a small operator like myself.  What happens if while extracting warter you have to doe some powerwashing?  We use our trucks and powerwash and extract.  I ran bruin II 's for a few years went threw alot of belts but still a good unit.  You would be better off either replacing the bruin and using it for a spare or for overflow or purchase a used unit.  But I think you need the flexabiltiy to be able to turn that flood truck into a cleaning machine.  Other options flood sucker portable or a drain vac.  This is of cource just my opinion  good luck with ever you decide.

Thanks guys.

Ted i'll call you about the flood master.I was the one calling from Montreal about the pto.

Shop at  fourniture select .Vincent Begin , he does not have them .Think it's more in line for me then a second truck.

P.S what would a bruin  2 suck a min?. If we have a guy dumping .We also have a pump out from pc what would that pump??.Thanks Terry

Ted:  Ihave to disagree. Wasteing $5000. or $6000 on a mish mash not my idea of a fix.  Don't forget to add another $5000 or $6000 for the truck. You can buy a used cd unit in the truck for less than that. You can also add another few bucks for hoses and wands.

 

Mr. Matthew N. Lozecki., ASD, WRT CDT International Inc., CAT Director of Network Development:  I guess your idea of basics and mine are different.  I guess you go directly to Airmovers. lgr's and so on?  I prefer to remove the standing water first which what this post is all about?? I guess we have had different training??Do you just instruct and reccommend go directly to drying equipment, water extraction is not necessary when airmovers and lgr's are in place?  Does it take you any longer to evaporate the standing water?

What would complete truck consist of?
