UPDATE: Jan 2008
If you have a car that has been flooded, it is important to begin to address it as soon as possible. Please read our forum and feel free to ask for advice.

As each item was removed from the car it was cleaned and disinfected. Many of the items could be washed using a hot pressure washer with disinfectant run through it.

Mark hot pressure washes the boot carpet to remove silt and all traces of the flood.

Our pressure washers are far more powerful than the kind found on petrol station forecourts and we can increase the temperature up to 80° Celsius. This means that we can blast the dirt and the silt right out of the carpets.

As soon as each item was washed, it was hung to dry - this is actually the slowest part of the process, as it's no good us placing the upholstery back in the car if it is still wet. The seats and the carpet underlay are very thick and can take a long time to dry, even when we use air blowers and dehumidifiers.

Flood water in the spare wheel area.

With seats and carpets removed, we were left with a bare shell that was full of dirty water (although disinfectant had already been added) The photos above and below show just how much flood water was still in the car.

Flooded footwells, witht he carpet removed you can see the amount of water and silt still in the car.
