Expert Car Water Leak Detection & Repair
When water gets into your car, it can cause more than just wet carpets. You might have been to other garages that offer quick fixes, but you find yourself back there with the same problem a few weeks later. At New Again, we take a different approach — we aim to find and fix all the leaks, making sure the problem is solved properly, without leaving you to deal with mould, musty smells, or electrical issues.
When we find a leak, we'll send you a video showing our findings. All our work is documented, and repairs come with a three-year guarantee.
We have a range of methods for detecting leaks, and we also deal with mould, odours and the drying of your vehicle too.
We offer rainwater leak finding and fixing, carpet drying, and mould decontamination. We can even
collect
your vehicle.

Let's talk
Common Problems Caused by Water Contamination
The most immediate problem with a footwell full of water is the threat it poses to your car's electrical systems.
Modern cars are packed full of computers, modules, sensors and wiring, many of these are hidden under the seats and carpets.
Most of these systems are reasonably well water-proofed, or are at least splash proof, so we don't want to overstate the danger, it's not a foregone conclusion that it will ruin all your electrics, but that said, they aren't designed to withstand prolonged damp let alone submersion and they can be very costly to put right. Air bag control units are probably the most likely to be effected which raises safety issues.
The second problem is that the contamination from dirty rain water is likely to lead to damp problems throughout the whole interior of your car.
If you are waiting for the car to dry out naturally, you're in for a long wait, as unfortunately the water really has nowhere to go.
You will soon notice condensation on the windows causing visibility problems, in winter this can lead to frost forming on the inside as well as the outside of the windows. The general dampness of the car can soon lead to the growth of fungus, mould and mildew and an overall damp, musty smell.
Odour Removal
Once rainwater gets into your car, there is a good chance that it will result in mould, mildew and bad odours. Often it will be a warm swampy odour that tips you off to the fact that you have a leak.
We shampoo the flooded area and then use enzymes to kill the bacteria that causes bad smells.
Odours can be very difficult to deal with, and the solution is dependent on the original source of the odour. We have different levels of odour removal and decontamination services for you to choose from, but we'll always guide you with our recommendations to help eliminate the problem.
Drying Cars
When you have damp, soggy or wet carpets it's easy to assume it's only about a cup full of water in your foot well, but with the carpet underlay sodden, it's more likely to be over a gallon, sometimes two or three! This could take months to dry out naturally over the winter, and unless the water is removed it's highly likely that other problems will occur.
To remove the water we would either remove the carpets or lift them (see photo slideshow above) where we’d then use an extractor to remove the water, followed by de-humidifiers, air-movers and finally pipe in warm air to get the car dry.

Why we offer a 28 point check
At New Again, we understand how frustrating it can be to deal with recurring car water leaks. That's why our expert team offers a thorough 28-point diagnostic check, inspecting all the usual leak points and any model-specific trouble areas. Unlike general garages, we don't just fix one leak and send you on your way, only for the problem to return.
The reality is, all the seals, rubbers, and grommets in your car age at the same rate, which means if you have one leak, you're likely to have more. Our service is designed to catch all potential leaks in one go, minimizing the chances of future issues. While no service can guarantee a car won't ever leak again, our detailed check helps us get it right the first time.
Once the inspection is complete, we'll provide you with a clear estimate so you know exactly what needs to be done. Trust the specialists who make sure your car stays dry and worry-free!
