Car Water Leak Detection & Repair Specialist
A leaking car is miserable to own. I know from personal experience - the condensation, odour, mould and breathing in dank air. It's difficult to find the right person to trust too, particularly if you have paid someone before to fix it and they haven't. Few people have the patience to find a leak and the meticulous nature to repair it.
I have been professionally finding and fixing leaks into boots, foot wells and from sunroofs for over 5 years with the business approaching one hundred 5 star reviews. In most cases I have worked on your model of car many times before so know exactly where its leaking and how to fix it. Some common models are listed below. Each leak in different ways, so if you would like enquire about a price please contact me with the make, model, year and where you find water.
Otherwise cars only leak for two reasons; barriers to water fail or drainage pathways become blocked. I methodically test these to diagnose where a car is leaking and in almost all cases can fix it. This tried and tested method has fully resolved leaks on 98% of vehicles to date.
Finding where a vehicle is leaking AND fixing it typically takes 2 to 7 hours at £65p/h. The longer a car leaks for, the more water builds up and the worse condensation, mould, odour and rust become. If you want to stop your car leaking please contact me.
On rare occasions leaks aren't fully resolved first time. If this happens I will work for free to fix it until I am out of ideas.
I also tackle the issues that result from a car that has leaked by extracting water trapped in the footwells and otherwise drying out your vehicle, deep cleaning interiors, removing mould and addressing odours at £35p/h.
What Problems do Leaks Cause?
Constant moisture leads to black, green and white mould forming. It is time consuming to remove, requires chemical treatment to kill off the spores and black mould and permanently stains some surfaces. Below the carpets is much thicker and highly absorbent sound insulation. It can hold tens of litres of water before its ever felt through the carpets. This stagnant water causes a damp odour that gets worse and worse over time. Many people report developing breathing problems from regularly sitting in this mouldy damp environment. The constant moisture also damages electrical components with customers reporting starting, locking and alarm issues along with electric seats stuck in position. In cold weather excessive condensation forms ice on the inside of windscreens with customers having to scrape it off! If that wasn't enough all of the steel components rust and moving parts seize.
