Yep. If you've really got an inch, this will suck pretty well. I'd  
also ee of you can find a floor squuegee. It's a bit of foam rubber on  
stick, very useful for drying concrete floors. If they're smooth, you  
can get thefloor pretty close to dry with one.  As you suck w/ the  
shoo vac, get some to sweeptoyou.
