By far the most common problems we see resulting from water damage is the growth of numerous microorganisms such as mold, mildew, and a variety of fungus. This filth causes unbearable odors that continue to spread at a rapid pace. Mold and mildew can begin forming within hours of water infiltration and even faster if the environment is hot, sultry, dark and airless. South Florida car owners are especially susceptible to mold and mildew caused by water leaks and even flooding, due to its low-lying coastal marshes, brackish rivers, and swamps that quickly overflow onto roads during torrential rains, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Water can rise so quickly as to deceive a driver trying to get home into believing they can drive through it, only to underestimate the depth of that water. We see cars with water damage caused by vehicles stalling and the dangerously foul water breaching the car doors and saturating, if not flooding your vehicle’s interiors. Impure water can also corrode your vehicle’s wire harnessing and rust the metal in the frame underneath your seats and carpeting.
