What to Do When a Car Is Flooded?
1 Answers
If your car is flooded, you should disconnect the battery power and notify the insurance company. Here are the specific steps: 1. Disconnect the battery power: Before the rescue tow truck arrives, it is best to disconnect the vehicle's battery power as soon as possible, usually by removing the negative terminal of the battery and shifting the transmission to neutral. This helps prevent accidental startup during towing, which could further damage the vehicle. 2. Notify the insurance company: If the vehicle is submerged in water, notify the insurance company immediately. However, sometimes the insurance personnel may not arrive on time, so the owner or policyholder should take photos of the flooded scene with a camera or phone as evidence for the claim.
