Water Removal on Cars

When a car is submerged, every nook and corner is exposed to water. This would definitely require proper water removal procedures to ensure that water is not left in the car. The car will need many steps to remove all the water that has permeated its systems. There is the interior for example. The obvious areas are the carpet and upholstery. These should be removed from the car as soon as possible. These need to be dried in a minimal amount of time to prevent molds and fungus. They should be treated with an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent. They should not be reinstalled until all moisture and treatments have dried or been removed.

Let’s break down this process, the upholstery will require vacuuming out all the water from them as soon as possible. Then it needs to be placed into a dehumidifier, with air or low heat driers. The same process should be repeated with the carpet and padding. If possible, the carpet and padding should be removed and replaced. They tend to mold, releasing biological agents into the air of your car which could put your family’s and friends’ health at risk.

You will now understand why a professional is required or why an insurance company often considers a car, that has been submerged, a total loss. Here we will talk about the mechanical aspects of water removal. All the oils and lubricants must be removed, the areas cleaned of all water residue. These areas are the engine oil, the brake fluid, the lubricant from the rear end, the wheel bearings, the automatic transmission; all filters must be removed and replaced. The catalytic converter require a steady pressure to operate properly, thus this is usually removed and replaced. Also the gas tank has been flooded with water. This requires the removal of the tank, flushing it with a water removal agent, putting it back onto the car and refilling it with gas.

Now, the next area of concern is the wiring and computer system. Water removal here is obviously necessary. All are typically removed and replaced or they may continue to have problems in the future. Some of these problems might be ignition coil, fuel injectors, the wiring harness, where your electrical system is centralized. Even small things like control modules might require replacement.

The computer is designed to search out your car’s system to identify a problem. What if this system also is submerged? Will it read your system as it was designed to do? Do you want to take that chance? Well, let’s relate it to the computer you use from your desk every day. If your computer was submerged into water, you would never think of trying to dry it out and depend on it to perform the tasks your require of it daily. Well, would you?

The computer in your car regulates many systems from the operation of the car to the creature comforts. The new DVD players, the mapping systems that directs you to where you wish to travel, the air bags that saves your lives when you are in a serious accident.

This is just a brief summary of water removal from your car that might be required to restore your water damaged car. This article has only scratched the surface of automobile water removal, but hopefully it has giving you enough information to make you double check your professionals’ repairs or lack thereof.
