Do not operate a flood-damaged vehicle until the insurer and appropriate technical specialists have assessed electrical, restraint, mechanical and contamination risks.

Water beneath carpet, insulation and trim can remain long after visible surfaces look dry. Contaminated porous materials may require removal or replacement.

Only after the leak or flood source is resolved and the vehicle is safely dried should cleaning and compatible neutralisation be considered.

A vapour treatment cannot repair water damage or guarantee removal of all mould and bacteria. AVP's role begins only within a documented, safe detailing scope.
