    Go to a hardware store and rent a wet vac. It is a big drum and a vacuum. Y ou plug it into the wall, and when the drum is full, you empty it outside or down a toilet, int the bathtub, etc.. It is on wheels.

    Get a wet/dry vac. Will have to remove filter when using on water.

    Great for use, as dry vac, in garage or any construction work u do. Very good investment.
