Hurricane Sandy caused massive damage over almost the
entirety of the East coast, and we couldn’t be more aware of it here in the
Lehigh Valley. Our hearts and prayers go
out to those who have lost so many irreplaceable items and to those less
fortunate than us. Here’s what to do if your
car, truck or SUV has water damage.
Call Your Insurance Company – You usually need to have
comprehensive coverage for flooding or water damage to be covered. Be sure to call your insurer to check if
you’re unsure.
Leave the Engine Be – Until your car has been inspected by
an expert, you need to go as long as possible without starting your car. You could actually cause even more problems
if water is in certain parts of your engine.
Leave a Wet Interior to the Professionals – Fixing the issue
of a wet interior isn’t as easy as simply letting it dry. Carpeting and upholstery can press moisture
pressed against metal parts which can cause rust and can grow mold. Cars and homes have been further destroyed in
the past from people trying to dry their cars themselves using heaters or hair
dryers, so we highly recommend against the DIY method.
If you have any further questions, please call our service department at (484) 223-0570. Good luck
to everyone and stay safe.
