Advice
After emptying, you often need a dehumidifier + fan(2-5 days typical). In the message, indicate m² and whether you have a 230V socket.
Your situation looks like…
- Heavy rain in the last 24-48 hours
- Ground water that returns after emptying
- Underground cellar with stagnant water
- Condominium garage with water on the floor
- Persistent humidity after pump done by others, consider thermal camera for cold areas in walls
- Garage with a few centimeters of water after storm
A little water on the floor may be enough with the wet vacuum cleaners. With still high water you first need the submersible pump. The 4 questions above will immediately guide you.
Recommended order
- 0. Safety: turn off the power if water is near sockets
- 1. Empty:submersible pump
- 2. Finish floor:wet vacuum cleaners
- 3. Dries:dehumidifier+fan
- 4. Sanitize and clean wet fabrics: if carpets, sofas, car seats or drums have become wet or muddy, use the injection/extraction carpet cleaner to remove dirt and sanitize deeply.
You don't always need to go the whole way: adapt the steps to your situation.
Security (30 seconds)
- Current: disconnect the panel or sockets if water reaches them
- Drain: pump pipe towards manhole or safe area, away from the room
- 230V socket: used near the work point for the pump and dehumidifier
For serious structural damage or suspicious gases: call emergency services, do not enter alone.
Pump or liquid vacuum cleaner?
| Situation | Pump | Wet vacuum cleaners |
|---|---|---|
| High water in garage/basement | Yes | After |
| Wet floor only | No | Yes |
| Mud and residues | Water first | Yes to finish |
| Need today | URGENT+ common | Write m² and liquid |
After emptying: dry
Vacuuming excess water is not enough. Walls and screeds retain large quantities of invisible humidity, creating in a very short time the ideal environment for the proliferation of mold and bad odors.
- Dehumidifier: removes humidity from the air (basement, closed garage)
- Industrial fan: accelerates drying on floors and walls
- Together: often more effective than alone, for 2-5 days according to square meters
Typical humidity recovery package
Starting point: We adapt based on how much water there is and square meters. Often you also need wet vacuum cleaners after the pump: write it in the message.
Dehumidifier: how many days?
| Situation | Approximate duration |
|---|---|
| Wet floors, dry walls | 2-3 days |
| Medium garage, persistent humidity | 3-5 days |
| Major flooding or cellar | 5+ days - write m² |
In the quote we agree exact collection and return dates.
What we often see go wrong
- Only use the pump and then close everything. Without adequate ventilation and dehumidification, humidity will condense on the walls again.
- Wet vacuum cleaners with too much water. First empty with the pump
- Drain pipe inside the garden. The water can return
- Please wait a few days to write to us. In the high rainy season the equipment is booked
Before collection
- URGENT: write it in the message if you need it today - let's check real availability
- Drain pipe: locate a manhole or safe area away from the room before leaving
- 230V socket: pump and dehumidifier require it - bring an extension cord if the socket is far away
- Electrical safety: do not connect tools with water near the sockets
- Transport: pump and dehumidifier take up space, check car or van for quote
- Valid document and deposit required for collection in Via Giardini 16
What to expect
- Rental by the day: pump often 1 day, dehumidifier 2-5 days
- No obligation quota with collection and return dates
- Collection in Via Giardini 16 by appointment
What to write (copy and adapt)
- URGENT if needed today + common
- Where (garage, cellar, garage) and approximately square meters
- Water height (ankle, knee, more)
- Electrical socket available yes/no
- What have you already tried

Questions about flooded garage
How much is the deposit?
It depends on the tool: we will indicate it to you in the WhatsApp quote before you confirm. Valid document is required for collection; usually card or cash. Returned at the end of the rental if the equipment is in good condition. Details:contacts.
Can I collect the pump today?
Write URGENT + common. We check real availability every day from 8:00 to 20:00 before confirming. Out of hours we respond as soon as possible.
How long does the dehumidifier rental last?
Depends on how wet it is. For an average garage often 2-5 days. In the estimate we agree collection and return dates.
Pump and wet vacuum cleaner together?
Often yes: volume pump, floor and residual vacuum cleaner. Write the situation: we'll tell you if you need one or both.
Wet or muddy furniture, sofas or car seats: what to do?
If the flooding has reached carpets, sofas, mattresses or car seats, do not let them dry with mud. After having sucked up most of the water with the wet vacuum cleaner, rent the carpet and fabric cleaner: by injecting water and a specific detergent and vacuuming them immediately, it removes dirt and unpleasant odors from the fabric fibers.
Do you do the emptying?
We rent equipment with explanation upon collection. Emptying is done by you or your technician. For structural damage, you need a construction or plumbing professional.
Groundwater or rain: does it change anything?
The sequence remains the same. If the water returns after emptying, there is an infiltration problem that needs to be resolved with a technician: the rental manages the emergency, not the cause.
