Water Damage

347,000 vehicles get water damage every hurricane season — not all of them belong in a junkyard

18 Jul 20265 min read

Every hurricane season in the US, hundreds of thousands of vehicles end up with some level of water damage. The number sounds like a mass total-loss event — but the reality is that a significant share of those vehicles are perfectly rescuable with the right diagnostics.

Fresh water vs. salt water: not the same thing

Fresh rain or street-flood water is corrosive but relatively predictable. Salt water from a storm surge is far more aggressive and progressive in its damage — it keeps corroding connectors and grounds weeks after the car appears to have dried out fine.

Why not all water damage is a total loss

Many insurers and shops write off a flooded vehicle without an unbiased technical diagnosis of which modules are actually compromised. In a high proportion of cases, the modules are rescuable at the microcomponent level.

A real geographic differentiator

No national mail-in competitor has a local presence in South Florida. That means same-day diagnostics, right in the middle of hurricane season, without shipping your car or your module out of state.
