Water restoration business (truck | van setup)
Vložit

- In today's video we look our truck and van setups for our water damage trucks. Over the years we had just about every type of vehicle from pick up trucks, large box trucks, cargo vans, ford transits and even the transit connect.
While each vehicle had its place in the company, we eventually settled in on a single type of vehicle and a single setup. In this video we will discuss what we had, what we liked about it and then we delve into the interior rack system.

What type of trucks do you have? Drop it in the comments!
My company uses the Chevy Express vans. I personally have 5 deheus an extractor, 3 totes of supplies and anywhere from 12-16 air movers and 1-3 air scrubbers. Ladder strapped to the interior roof. The other guys in my crew and even customers always are amazed in how well my van looks. Organization is key.
Pic?
The size of 24x60x60 can’t find them anywhere?
Thanks Shane for all your informational videos. Your amazing
Glad you like them!
Where can I purchase these shelves ?I can’t find them anywhere ?
Great video thanks Shane!
Glad you liked it!
How much can the techs make? I'm looking to get out of CDL driving and be home every night. And yes, there are local CDL jobs, but my current commute is 44 miles each way to pick up the truck.
Restoration is not a job you want to be home every night , you will most likely get a call 1-3 times a week and be out all night . That’s how it is with the big companies
Excellent information, joined channel, looking forward to learning more. Prince rupert canada
welcome
I’m glad I came across this because I totally see the value in the low profile fans. When it comes to the dehumidifiers have you ever worked with Abestone? There’s a number of them available slightly under retail value online and I’ve been considering moving on them but don’t know anyone who’s worked with them before.
Not sure about that brand. I'd say buy one and try it out before you invest in a large purchase of 20k of them
I made that mistake!
Good video. However here in
Mississauga . Ontario When it gets to minus 30 c you cant store gear in the truck. But Nice setup. Very efficent
Yeah if I was that far up north then you'd have to keep the truck in a heated garage.
Hopefully you get blessed with some broken pipes in the winter up there?
What if your truck or equipment gets stolen? Do you carry insurance for that? Sometimes you hire a bad apple or drive in a bad part of the neighborhood.
How do you load the portable extractor in the van? They’re pretty heavy to load and unload.
They have large wheels on the back. We just muscle it up and in
Does water enter the cab when hauling wet materials such as carpet in those ford vans?
We have them in contractor bags - never had an issue
Hi Shane! Thank you for a great video. What was the metal shelves in the van? We going to buy a van and organize it 😊
The shelves were adrian steel www.adriansteel.com/products/
@@TheRestorationContractor thank you
Who did your van shelving installation?
There are companies that offer this service... I think Stringfellow was the name of the company in Nashville.
They're pretty easy to install. It just takes a bit of time. Hand tools and a drill the rivnuts would be a pain to do by hand, though. A couple hours to put the shelving together, a couple more to install brackets the rails, and a few hours to assemble and install the partition. AND I JUST GOT TO THE PART WHERE YOU SAID YOU PAID $2k FOR THE INSTALL AND I DO IT FOR $300....Exactly why I wana start my own water restoration business and or go back to my old job. Water mitigation was so fun!
How do we contact you to get on that 10min call you talk about?
You can reach me at 615-685-2128
@@TheRestorationContractor how do we get a hold of you that number no one gets back to you and i want to get going on your training how do i get that going?
Did you use the ford ranger to haul off your mitigation tear out?
Not really. If we had trash that would fit in that truck we may haul it off with the truck but we wouldn't normally make a trip out there just for that.
If demo was needed we typically used a dumpster or dumpster bag from HomeDepot
Does that answer your question?
