Delaware's Water-Damaged Car Interior Restoration

One of our signature services at Ride Revived LLC is our Full Interior Cleaning, where we bring our mobile detailing expertise right to your location. However, when dealing with water damage, we implement a specialized restoration approach that focuses on both immediate cleanup and long-term protection of your vehicle's interior. 

The CDC emphasizes that water damage can pose serious health risks, as flood water may contain harmful contaminants. To protect yourself and your family:

•  Always wash your hands after coming into contact with water-damaged areas
• Keep children away from affected vehicles until properly cleaned
• Don't use any items from the vehicle that have been contaminated until they've been properly disinfected

The challenge with water damage isn't always visible. Even if your interior appears dry, water can lurk underneath the carpeting where you can't see it. Using our professional-grade equipment, including our high-powered extractors and industrial air compressors, we can detect and remove hidden moisture that could lead to mold and mildew issues over time.

Water damage can happen in all sorts of ways, whether it's from a light rainstorm, a major flood, or even a spilled drink. No matter the cause, we at Ride Revived LLC are here to restore your vehicle to its original condition with our professional grade equipment and expertise. 

We start by thoroughly inspecting the vehicle to determine the extent of the damage. Our goal is to identify what can be cleaned and what might need replacing. We also check for hidden moisture that could cause further issues down the road.

For liability reasons, we don't remove seats or carpeting ourselves. If we determine that removing them is necessary for a more thorough restoration, we'll let you know. You can either handle the removal yourself or have someone help if needed

If the carpet is still in place and can be cleaned, we will go ahead and shampoo and extract moisture using our professional-grade tools. This process removes dirt, moisture, and any contaminants, ensuring the carpet is cleaned thoroughly without leaving any hidden moisture behind.

Once the carpet is cleaned, we move on to the metal frame underneath. Removing any standing water and ensuring its thoroughly dried. If we see any issues with rust or damage, we'll document them and send you photos, so you are fully aware.

We take the time to clean all fabric surfaces, including floor mats, seats, headliners, and seat belts. Depending on the condition, this step can take several passes to ensure the fabric is completely clean and free from moisture or stains.

Our restoration process extends to all plastic and leather surfaces. We use specialized cleaning products to carefully restore and protect the leather seats, center console, door panels, dashboard, and pillars, leaving them clean and looking like new.

If any foam or padding has been damaged by water, its recommend that it be replaced before reinstalling the carpeting. This ensures that your vehicles interior is as comfortable and protected as possible.

Every water damage situation is unique, so we tailor our approach to suit your needs. While we can guide you through the process and offer recommendations, the ultimate goal is to ensure your vehicle is restored to its best condition. At Ride Revived LLC, we are committed to delivering high-quality results with every job.
