Flood-Damaged Vehicle Towing & Recovery

Flood-Damaged Vehicle Towing & Recovery

Floodwater can cause serious electrical, mechanical, engine, drivetrain, and interior damage to a vehicle.

Vehicles may also become stranded on flooded roads, in parking areas, on soft ground, or in other locations affected by stormwater.

Recovery planning depends on water depth, vehicle position, accessibility, ground conditions, vehicle weight, and the safety of the surrounding area.

When conditions allow, professional towing and recovery equipment may be used to move the vehicle to a safer location or transport it to a repair facility, storage location, residence, or another authorized destination.

A flood-exposed vehicle should not automatically be assumed safe to start or drive. Towing may be the safer option after significant water exposure.
