Need help tracking down a hose for a vacuum drain for a?
I've contacted SEARS, but they were not able to help me. I am hoping someone out there have been in my situation and know of a solution.
Please help.

Not an answer, but a suggestion -- using a wet/dry vac is not the easiest way to deal with your problem.
I had to deal with a flooding situation in a crawl space last month due to a broken pipe. I stopped by a neighborhood hardware and picked up a submersible pump for $50. It pumps 850 gallons per hour on the level, can lift water 14 feet, and sucks the water down to 1/8" deep. It has a fitting to attach a standard garden hose.
I placed the pump as far as I could reach, then kept moving it as the water went down. When it was down to muck, I dug a shallow hole for the remaining water to drain into, placing a cut-off bottom of a bucket to give the pump something stable to rest on.
I figure that the cost was minimal at $50 for the pump and using garden hose and extension cords that I already had. Like any electricity around wet areas, I plugged into a GFCI outlet and was careful to be out of the water when there was current to the pump.
Now I have the pump and it's available if I have another flood and can also drain any other water that might be a problem such as swimming pool or aquarium or stopped up washing machine.
If this flooding is a repetitive situation for you, I suggest that you give your local Agricultural Extension Service a call and ask them for recommendations on how to remove the problem. There are other people you can ask, too, but most of them charge for an answer or expect to sell you whatever work they recommend.
