Flood-Damaged Car Removal in Canberra & Queanbeyan

Water damage can write off a car even when the body looks fine. Flood-affected vehicles need to be removed and recycled properly, particularly where there is mould, silt or contamination.

Flood-Damaged Car Removal

Flood damage is one of the trickiest write-off categories because the visible damage often looks mild. Water in the wiring harness, the ECU, the gearbox or the fuel system can cause total electrical failure months later, and mould in the carpets and ducting is a health issue. For those reasons, we treat every flood car as a contamination job, not just a removal.

Recent jobs

Two cars we removed this month

Oaks Estate · 2022 floods

A flood car from Oaks Estate

An Oaks Estate resident's car had gone under during the 2022 floods and had been sitting wet since. Mould through the interior and destroyed electronics made it a write-off. We wore protective gear, recovered the vehicle on a flatbed and recycled it at a licensed facility so nothing toxic went to landfill.

Silt-filled ute collected from Queanbeyan

Queanbeyan · Silt-filled ute

A silt-filled ute in Queanbeyan

A Queanbeyan business had a ute that went under in a flash flood, filling the cab and tray with silt. The vehicle was a total loss and the business needed it off the books quickly. We collected within 48 hours, issued the disposal paperwork and documented the condition for the insurer.
