My sons been away for 3 weeks so I thought I would be nice and clean his 2009 Toyota Matrix, and was shocked to find all of his carpets wet and growing mold. There is water from the wheel well all the way forward. There’s enough standing water on the carpets in the back seat that you could splash it around. The is mold growing on all the carpets, wheel well, and on the seats as they come up from the floor. There’s even 2 weed sprouts growing out of one area of the carpet. tried taking some stuff out, but started feeling sick, so I stopped. Initially we couldn’t figure out how this even happened. None of the widows were left open, the headliner was completely dry, so we tried to replicate we sprayed it with a hose, and we think it came in through a seal on the tailgate. The car is parked on a slight incline, so as the water rolled in it then rolled forward to the front of the car. This hasn’t ever happened before so we have no idea why it did, other than we’ve had over 13” of rain in 20 days, and a few of the storms dumped 2” in a few hours. Has anyone ever dealt with an insurance company for mold inside. I tried to remove some stuff, and even with a mask I developed a bad headache, and cough, so o stopped. My son and I are so sensitive to mold, so I’m nervous that they won’t be able to clean it correctly, and remove all the mold spores.
we do have full coverage, so if anyone has any tips for how to deal with the insurance company we would really appreciate it.
