How to Identify and Fix Car Door Rubber Seal Leaks

Car Mold Guys your experts in car water leaks! If you’re noticing an increase in wind noise on the highway, damp carpets after a Clearwater downpour, or a musty odor that won’t quit, a failing rubber seal is the likely culprit. Identifying the source of the leak can be as simple as the “dollar bill test”: close a bill in your car door and if it pulls out with no resistance, you’ve found your problem area. For minor tears or loose spots, a quick fix with some weatherstrip adhesive can restore a watertight barrier.

Car Mold Remediation / Car Mold Removal

Once mold is discovered in a car, the primary concern often becomes “how the mold can impact my health”.  This is a valid concern, which is why it’s so important to chose a professional car mold remediator with experience and a track record of success.  Car mold is a common problem especially in the Southeast.  The common denominator among most moldy cars is water leaks.  Water leaks in cars is a VERY common problem.  When trapped moisture and organic material get together in a car the result is Car Mold.

No car is beyond remediation.  No matter how bad the mold is in your vehicle it can be restored.  We have a zero car remediation failure record, and offer a 90 day Guarantee!
