We have cleaned many types of vehicles that have been in rivers, fjords, sewage floods or just flooded due to leaking windscreens, or incorrectly fitted or perished seals. We have even cleaned a vehicle that has been immersed in sea water, even though most insurance companies write these off.
To effectively clean, dry and disinfect the vehicle, the interior carpets need to be removed and cleaned. Underneath the carpets, are two types of soundproofing, a matted material shown on the left of this picture, and a thick compact foam that holds an immense amount of water on the right. With any wet matted material we will replace it with new. With the thick compact foam (for some cars 6 inches thick), it’s impossible to dry. When you think it’s dry to the touch, try pushing your fingers deep inside and it still will be damp and a breeding ground for mould. We have to cut this away and rebuild it up.
