Water Damage Restoration

Service Description

The Water Damage Restoration Process Every water damaged vehicle will be different. You could get water damage from an open window during a light rain, you can get heavy damage from a crazy Houston flood, or simply a 5L jug of water could have spilled on the back row of your vehicle. ​ During our process, we’ll use a variety of chemical solutions, Ozone machines, hot water extractors, and other tools to get the job done. Here’s a general overview of what our cleaning process would look like: ​ Inspect the damage: Just like if your house had water damage, we have to inspect the interior to see what we can clean and what needs to be replaced. ​ Remove the seats: Based on the condition, if your vehicle has heavy water damage, we would remove the seats to have better access to cleaning or this would help if we need to remove the carpeting entirely. ​ Remove the carpeting: If needed, we’ll remove the carpeting to expose the underside. We’d throw away the foam and padding to replace it with new material. Clean the carpet: If possible, we’d thoroughly shampoo and clean the carpeting until we’re satisfied with the condition. This can take a day in itself. ​ Clean the metal frame: Now that we’ve removed the carpeting, we can clean any standing water that’s on the frame. We’ll also send you photos of any potential damage we see. Note: We’re not mechanic and we’re not here to diagnose or repair anything mechanical or electrical. ​ Clean the fabric surfaces: Now we can clean the carpet and fabric surfaces like the floor mats, seats, headliner and seat belts. Based on the condition, this can take multiple passes and several hours to complete. Clean the plastic and leather surfaces: With specific cleaning solutions, we’ll thoroughly clean the leather seats, centre console, door panels, pillars, and dashboard. ​ Replace the foam or padding with new material: Before we install the carpeting, we’ll add new foam or padding to the frame. ​ This is a very high-level overview of the process. If you spilled water in a specific area, the process will look entirely different.
