Does Garage Dampness Affect Cars?

[DanielAnn]

Garage dampness does affect cars. The specific hazards are as follows: 1. Hazard one: Corrosion of the chassis. In a humid environment, the oxidation rate of metal accelerates, increasing the failure rate of chassis components. 2. Hazard two: Moisture and mold inside the car. Prolonged parking in underground garages makes the car interior more prone to moisture and mold, especially in rainy southern areas, affecting the health of occupants. Additionally, metal parts such as door hinges, locks, and welded sections of the car body are more susceptible to rust and corrosion. 3. Hazard three: Breeding bacteria and aging paint. After summer rains, due to temperature and other factors, the lack of sunlight in underground garages makes the car interior more prone to breeding various bacteria. Regular dehumidification and disinfection of the car interior are particularly important. At the same time, dampness also affects the car's paint, easily causing paint aging and discoloration. 4. Hazard four: Affects circuits and damages the engine. Long-term exposure to damp conditions affects the car's components and wiring, especially the engine. If not lubricated for a long time, the engine's internal wiring can age, and parts can rust, leading to engine damage.
