Are You Ready for the Flood Waters to Rise?


According to Accuweather, the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season is likely to be much worse than last year, with 20-25 named storms predicted. Experts warn that now is the time to prepare for emergency water removal before the onslaught of storms and hurricanes.

One way for maintenance and cleaning crews to get ready is by ensuring they have water extraction equipment to quickly collect and discharge flood waters that breach barriers and infiltrate buildings. That’s why flood restoration companies, abatement contractors, hotels, apartment complexes, disaster relief/emergency response teams and municipalities rely on the Nilfisk ATTIX 19AE Flood Sucker sump pump vacuum to handle what Mother Nature dishes out.

With the ability to collect and discharge nearly 1 gallon of water per second, the portable and lightweight ATTIX Flood Sucker sump pump separates solids into a removable stainless-steel basket inside the canister while liquids are simultaneously discharged through a hose, ensuring easy cleanup.

To avoid possible breaker problems, this commercial vac features a “soft start” so it doesn’t pull the full amp draw right away. And it uses a single circuit for the whole unit saving the operator time searching for a second power source.

The ATTIX Flood Sucker can be operated in three modes—vacuum only, pump only, or vacuum and pump. It has as much power as a truck mount but is portable and extracts even more water than a truck mount. The powerful discharge pump expels water up to 30 feet vertically and 150 feet horizontally.

Where ordinary sump pumps leave up to 1.5 inches of liquid on the ground, the Flood Sucker completely removes liquids, leaving a dry surface behind. To help dry areas faster and more completely, you can pair the Flood Sucker with the Nilfisk AM2400D Air Mover, a compact, lightweight, energy-efficient, 3-speed air mover that moves 2,400 CFM.

When disaster strikes and floodwaters loom, count on the Nilfisk ATTIX 19AE Flood Sucker pump to remove water. As a robust solution for flood restoration, this durable and portable sump pump is built to withstand the toughest conditions, ensuring reliable performance when you need it the most.
