Running the big hose

[Mark Saiger]

I landed a large 6 story retirement facility. There’s carpet on 5 out of 6 floors. L-5 and L-6 have the most. They’ve been vacuuming with basically a shop vac, and using a rug dr. for any spills or stains. The carpet is only 20 months old, kinda looks 20 yrs...
From the parking spot, to the furthest point, it’s around 450.
I’m planning on HWE for the first time to get rid stains, soil load, and left over chems from botched attempts to clean up spills.... there’s ALOT of stains... one room alone there were 70-80.... I bid high, because of logistics, and all the BS involved.
From truck, 200- 2.5, 250 -2”...
Running the long hose.....

Hose run will take some time setting up... But gravity will be your friend and help with suction as well as your 2.5 inch.

We have done runs like this.

I’ve got a few commercial contracts that are 350’ plus. This facility has the stair core that has the open middle.... I can run the hose straight up... thank god....

I know we’ve discussed this a million times, but I’ve never been in one of those facilities where you go to mopping, they go to walking You were a better man than me.
