What to Do When There Is Water Under the Driver's Side Floor Mat?

[DeLukas]

How to handle water under the driver's side floor mat in a car: 1. The water under the driver's side floor mat is most likely condensation from the air conditioning. 2. When the car's air conditioning is in cooling mode, it generates a significant amount of water, which is typically drained outside the vehicle through a drainage hose connected near the condenser. If this hose was not properly connected to the undercarriage during manufacturing, the water may accumulate inside the car. 3. If the issue is minor, you can locate and reconnect the hose yourself. However, if water has entered the exhaust pipe, do not start the engine. Instead, arrange for a tow truck to take the vehicle to a 4S service center for professional repair. 4. If the water accumulation is due to clogged drainage holes or channels, preventing rainwater from draining properly, promptly clean the drainage outlets, remove the water under the floor mat, dry the carpet surface, and replace the mats with waterproof full-coverage floor mats.
