Transporting or Storing Water-Damaged Vehicles?

Place Cargo Dry Desiccants Inside Water Damaged Vehicles to Wick Moisture from Interior Materials.

Floods, storms, heavy rain and the like are not always avoidable and while individuals are likely to escape a storm, their car might not be so lucky.  In fact, Carfax estimated that in 2021, over 387,000 vehicles on the road had been previously flooded to some degree.

Automobiles can get water damage from a deteriorated door or window seal, driving through a flooded underpass or from an open window, door or sunroof and it is important to avoid moisture damage as it can have a deadly effect to an automobiles's interior compartment.

A FLOOD OF FLOODED CARS

Thousands of automobiles are damaged or destroyed by floods every year but not all those vehicles end up in a junkyard.  Most water damaged vehicles will be scrapped, recycled or broken down for parts. Some cars will be “totaled” and then sold at a salvage auction to junkyards and vehicle rebuilders throughout the country. The degree of water damage will ultimately dictate the path of the damaged vehicle.

It is imperative to dry the vehicle’s interior as soon as possible. Moisture in the cabin can lead to corrosive rust, odor, mold or mildew all of which could cause more prolonged issues later down the line. To combat water damage inside a car, wet/dry vacuuming and electric fans are a great way to dry the interior. When this step is completed and the car is ready to be sealed closed for transportation or storage, we recommended the use of an industrial desiccant as it can help revive a car from water damage.

DESICCANT TECHNOLOGY

A desiccant is a drop-in pouch or packet filled with non-toxic absorbing granules designed to regulate humidty, condensation, airborne moisture and induce or sustain a state of dryness in any environment inside its sealed vicinity to prevent mold, mildew or corrosion.

PROTECTING GLOBAL COMMERCE

Desiccants are an important component in protecting products as the pass through global supply chains. These high performing and powerful moisture absorber packs and are used every day worldwide inside oceanic shipping containers and secondary packaging to protect, preserve and prolong delicate products from environmental conditions that lead to product deterioration or destruction.  They’re also awesome for drying the interior cabin of motor vehicles, marine vessels, car transporters and so much more!

INVISIBLE ACTION & PROTECTION

Sometimes when a car suffers cosmetic damage to its interior cloth, wood, leather, vinyl, and other materials, the critical component to fixing this type of damage is to let the car dry out. Cleaning and drying a flooded car can be a difficult and time-consuming process that could require several days to completely dry. Desiccants are a great way to continually wick dampness from sealed cabin interiors when fans are no longer an option. Simply place the appropriate number of pouches throughout the cabin, close all doors and windows and transport or store the vehicle.
