Floor power scrubber/vacuum

After all of the Sheetrock demolition, our concrete and brick floors are covered in a layer of Sheetrock goo. I need to get it up since it holds water. Does anyone know of a device to scrub/vacuum? Maybe something with circulating water that dumps to drain? TIA.

Get a long handled scraper for concrete floors, brick is broom, mop and water.

What about one of those floor scrubbers like they use at Wal Mart, Home Depot, etc that you walk behind? Any place to rent one?

You asking about a floor buffer. That's not going to work especially on an uneven surface like brick.
I worked at a grocery store in high school. We buffed the floors twice a week. It takes a while to figure out how to run one of those things. I don't care how big a boy you are. You can't muscle that thing into going where you want it to go. I could operate that thing with one hand after lots of practice.

A friend of mine had a company use a piece of equipment that is shown in that video above. A pressure washer with a surface cleaner attachment and a built-in vac. If you can't find that, you can buy a surface cleaner attachment for a pressure washer at a big box hardware store. I have one I use to clean my patio/driveway. It works very well and it is easy to use. You could use that and have someone with a large shop vac suck up all the water as you move around.
I may be using this same approach in the near future.

Thanks. I have a pressure washer with surface cleaner. Just worried about it spraying water everywhere and getting the studs wet again. I'll look into that one.

Just make sure we are on the same page, the link above is to a surface cleaner that I was talking about (or something similar). I have never used it inside, but when using it outside, the spray from out the sides seems non-existent. If there is some spray out, you rig up some kind of skirt around it. I am thinking like a price of tarp cut to fit around it. I don't know the volume of water it puts out so an issue could be how often he shop vac would fill up.
Good luck.
