flood damage quesiton

Post by Kramer »

so we had a big thunderstorm in Houston earlier and my car got water up to the bottom of the seats, any ideas on what i need to watch out for, the kind of damage i need to look for, can i just take it somewhere to get it vacuumed and dried out?

I can't do anything until Friday morning so any good info would help

    Was this water damage while you were driving or when the car was just sitting there? Reason I ask is if you were driving water got all over the engine compartment and you could have engine problems (purchase & install new filters & tune-up)... otherwise, I would get that thing dried and vacuumed as soon as you could before the mold sets in. Also check to see if the drainage portion of your door is unclogged or water will build up in the door and rust way faster (yes this is probably a stupid suggestion, but it can save many a year on your car).

    That's about all I can think of.
