Is It Serious If a Car Is Flooded Up to the Foot Mats?

[LaNaomi]

If the car is flooded up to the foot mats, it is quite serious. It is recommended that the owner take the car to a professional auto repair shop for thorough cleaning and drying. The following two flood heights can help determine whether the car can continue to be driven: 1. Exhaust Pipe Height: Many car owners worry that water reaching the exhaust pipe will backflow. In fact, the pressure generated by the engine during exhaust is very high, enough to expel any water that backflows into the exhaust pipe. Therefore, as long as the car does not stall and maintains sufficient and stable power, it can prevent water from backflowing into the exhaust pipe and safely pass through flooded areas. 2. Half-Wheel Height: Cars are equipped with various electronic components and sensors. If water enters the interior, it is highly likely to damage these electronic components or sensors.
