Common Flood Damage Issues We Address

Floodwater doesn’t just get things wet. It brings dirt, bacteria, and long-term complications that require expert attention. Some of the most common problems we see in flood-damaged vehicles include:

• Musty or moldy odors lingering in the upholstery or air vents
• Stained or discolored fabrics, especially on carpets and seats
• Rust and corrosion on seat frames, fasteners, or hardware
• Sand, silt, and debris trapped under carpets or in hidden areas
• Warped padding or loosened upholstery from prolonged water exposure
• Fogged lights or moisture trapped in tight spaces are a clear sign of water entry

These issues affect not only your comfort but also the safety, appearance, and resale value of your vehicle.

Signs Your Car May Have Flood Damage

If you suspect your vehicle has been exposed to flooding, look for these warning signs:

• Unusual smells, such as mildew or mold
• Water stains or brand-new carpet in an older vehicle
• Dirt or debris in small areas like seat tracks or under the dash
• Rust in unexpected places, such as under the seats or near fasteners
• Condensation or fogging in the headlight or taillight lenses

If you notice any of these signs, get in touch with us promptly for a professional inspection and restoration.

What To Do After Flood Damage

If your vehicle has suffered flood damage, acting quickly can prevent further problems. Here are the steps to take:

1. Document the Damage - Take clear photos and videos of wet or stained upholstery, signs of mold, mildew, or water lines, and any mechanical or electrical issues.
2. Contact Your Insurance - Report the damage to your insurance provider right away. If your policy includes comprehensive coverage, it may help cover the cost of upholstery repairs.
3. Wait for the Adjuster - An insurance adjuster will likely need to inspect the vehicle to assess the extent of the damage. Be sure to point out all affected areas, including those that are less visible.
4. Schedule Upholstery Restoration - Once the claim is approved, our team at Lee’s will begin restoring your vehicle’s interior. From seat reupholstery to mold removal and carpet replacement, we handle it all with attention to detail and quality workmanship.
