Carpet Drying Service
Fast professional car carpet drying service. If you have wet carpets, we'll return your car clean and dry.
If you have had a leak in your car, it's been caught in a flash flood, or you have driven through a deep ford, and now you have wet carpets, you will need to get your car dried before it causes other issues such as mould, corrosion and electrical problems.
Unfortunately, your car won't dry on its own. Driving along with the windows open and the air conditioning on could take years to dry the car out. Meanwhile, that water will be causing a host of other problems, mould, mildew, corrosion and costly electrical problems.
We return your car clean and dry
We begin by decontaminating your car using antimicrobial disinfectant, which will make it safe to work on and prevent mould and mildew smells. Then we remove the seats and lift the carpet, so we can extract any standing water which is under the carpet. With this done, we can let our powerful hot air blowers and dehumidifiers do their work, pulling all moisture out of the car. We then put the car back together and give it back to you clean, fresh and dry.
We are happy to help with cars that have been caught in fresh water floods or driven through fords, or left the roof down in the rain. If your car has a leak, and you haven't yet fixed it, please see our Water Leak Detection Service.

David Car Drying Service FAQs
Can I save money by skipping the decontamination?
No — decontamination is essential. Once a car has been wet inside, mould and bacteria can quickly grow, and breathing spores is unsafe. We insist on treating every car for your safety and ours. The hospital-grade product we use is low odour, safe, and highly effective.
Can I claim the cost on my insurance?
In many cases, yes. It’s always worth asking your insurer at the start. Even if you later decide the excess makes it uneconomical, you won’t be penalised just for enquiring.
My car was flooded by seawater — can you help?
Salt water brings major complications and usually causes irreparable damage. In these cases, we recommend contacting your insurer and requesting an assessor, as the outlook is generally poor.
How long does it take to dry my car?
Typically 2–3 days. Day one is decontamination, dismantling, and cleaning. The car dries overnight, then we reassemble it the following day. Large executive cars with deep carpets or heavy flooding may need an extra day to fully dry.

Paul WGareth McCaugheyGary even called me personally a week after the car was returned to me to check whether all was still ok and that the car was still dry after all the rain. I was pleased to tell him that all was good because his team done a great job. Now that is what I call service.
