Rain for Rent

In addition, at the request of the USACE, the Rain for Rent Chicago branch provided a turnkey pumping system consisting of large diameter axial flow pumps at the Saylor Ville, Iowa Dam. The equipment and personnel were mobilized and the system was up and running within 48 hours.

The Chicago team also responded to numerous other requests for pumps from commercial facilities, the City of Davenport and the City of Cedar Rapids. Mike Zudycki, Chicago Branch Manager, along with the Chicago based team of Rain for Rent professionals, worked around the clock providing Rain for Rent's Solutions-based services. They have been complimented by the USACE, USNG, and local and state agencies for their fine work.

The pumping efforts continue. Rain for Rent has mobilized specialty filtration systems, temporary liquid storage tanks, and vacuum and roll off boxes to assist with multiple environmental clean up activities throughout the Midwest.

As a first responder to the Hurricane Katrina disaster and to the current Midwest flood event, Rain for Rent doesn't just rent iron, they provide Complete Solutions... Proven Results. The USACE has been highly impressed by Rain for Rent's equipment, coordination, dedication, and expertise and therefore has listed Rain for Rent on their website as a flood relief preferred vendor.
