If I could offer a suggestion-I used to do the same thing to many cars since I was in the auto upholstery business, and had to dry out flood or water damaged cars for both dealers and individuals. You’re going the right direction in stripping out the carpets and cleaning the floors, but one area you may be missing is the padding on the back of the carpets. Once this stuff gets wet and sits for any amount of time, it starts to smell, and no amount of washing or drying can totally eliminate it-it’ll come back even when it’s dry and reassembled. We found that ripping off the pieces of wet pad was the easiest and fastest way to take care of this issue…then use the pressure washer on both sides of the carpet, and let dry thoroughly. You can get some material called “jute” at any upholstery supply, it can be cut to the size of the original pad, and attached with spray adhesive (same stuff you used in re-covering panels on your fire-damaged RV). Put the carpet back in, and there’s no smell-guaranteed. Hope this helps!
You are exactly right on this!!! Also the dampness and smells will definitely come right back if you don’t remove it!!! It’s a lot easier to change it while you have it all out!!
One thing you are proving guys, is that just because a vehicle may have been in a flood, it doesn't mean that it only fit for scrap or parts. You are getting those cars back up and running so that they can be used again and keep on going for a fair few miles yet. Really, really well done. 👌👍❤😀
Its wonderful to see you work together with a smile all the time. I wish I could have a brother and do the same... It is a real pleasure to watch your progress,...Congratulation Guys! And thanks for doing all those great videos, It really help me right now in those hard times...
With the explorer , you should take apart the exhaust system and dry it out properly and possibly replace some parts if needed . I would also thoroughly clean the electrical plugs and also do a compression test on the explorer as well plus an engine flush and oil change too and flush the coolant ! Better to be safe than sorry ! Just my opinion as a mechanic. Great video guys ! 👍
Looks like you all do a extra good job cleaning and drying them out, there is no substitute for quality work and all these cars should work nicely for along time to come My hat is off to the Niko Busy Beavers! Contact cleaners in all of the electrical connectors is recommended!
As someone has already mentioned, do check the doors for water depending on the water line. Another thing to say is that a dead battery will produce all sorts of fault codes. Make sure your battery is charged fully then check for fault codes. The modules 'think ' they have a problem simply because the voltage is so low . Great work so far and good video Brothers .👍👍
Great finds!!! Youre doing a great job and also documenting the work that's actually done for buyers builds confidence. People don't realize that not all flooding damages the cars depending on the car and location of the modules, it can be as easy ...still work ...lol removing the interior and good cleaning.
Been in the marine electronics business all my life. Electronics get wet all the time. Remove the plastic covers, put the electronics board and assembly in the wife's oven at no more than 200 degrees. You will be amazed at how they will often come back to life.
Hi brothers ,also do a oil change on automatic gearbox specially the cvt type ,they have breathers on them where water could get in .Thank you from a lock down New Zealand 👍
Really appreciate what you guys are doing to save flooded cars so they can be used again instead of crushed for recycle. Seems anyone can do what you doing if they have basic tools and follow how you do it. Good video, thanks 🙏 guys.
GUys just wanted to say a lot of times the airbag light can be triggered by water in the contacts in either the seat belt tensioner or the seats themselves. Usually the other airbag are to high in the car to get water damage. If there is a low resistance between the contacts then it will throw the light. The scanner will tell you exactly which one it is. Dry it out and clean the contacts and you should then be able to clear that code and the light should go away. No need to replace the module.
I must say you guys go all in. Not afraid of work like a lot of these channels most don’t really want to get their hands dirty. Didn’t want us to see how much water was in these cars as the carpet come out. I would want a Warranty on them for future problems with them.
You guys are doing good keep been very systematic don't skip any steps. What are guys doing to the doors? they need to be check. Need to use electronic lubricant for ground connectors and any sensor connectors you need to fight the humidity and killed. Upholstery and carpet padding must be very dry inside and outside. You guys are doing good. Stay safe and healthy thanks 😊
Might want to use a moisture meter to quickly check the carpet and seats. These are used by residential restoration companies to check moisture content in walls and floors.
That is great advice, I would insist on proof of bumper to bumper fluid change in addition to all the other suggestions if I were buying a flood damaged car.
@@MrSparks54 I know someone who bought a flood damaged car a few years ago and it was never right. The first few months went ok but as time went by problem after problem, all electrical issues. Maybe it was a bad car and had nothing to do with the flood damage but I don't know. I wouldn't risk it personally.
@@lordstingray2382 likely was from water it gets in everywhere and overtime damages the wires and connections. Which in the case of fresh water and some of these wires that have little to know air flow could take years to manifest.
what a process, not many auto dealers would go this in depth of this, work Kudos to Niko Bros. Well done, appreciating these series of videos on point !!!
the only thing I'd say is inside the doors . the water comes in through the door seals I know there are drains at the bottom .but I have found a lot of crap inside the doors. I'm from flood country . when I was 17 I drove. my 67 mustang through water so deep it was shooting out the louvers on the hood and through the shift boot . 2 days later the doors still were sloshing . smh
Replacing the carpet(new/used) is best but if your trying to dry the carpet is best to hang it up as vertical as possible…Also air flow helps ( fan indoors or outside no fan)The inner cushion never drys when you try sun drying in flat position. At least couple of days hang time.
Great job! But what I don't understand is that the insurance companies in Florida will total the vehicle only if the water line went above the dash. Congrats on a good buy.
Quite a learning experience just bought a very nice run & drive 05 Lexus IS 300 with 75k miles & I wasn’t sure how we would clean it but after watching this I’m ready to get started when it gets here tomorrow. @Niko Bros thanks for posting this video great job guys!
I love the fact are going through the way you guys are. But I wud check doors too. I didn’t see you check them. I wud love to have a shop n sell cars this way. So ppl wud know you guys did work to them the cars back on the road. Keep it up. Definitely a big fan of u guys
I bought a truck brand new in 1989 it got submerged in a pond in 1990 unfortunately. But I still have the truck and it still runs and drives today. The only thing I wish I would have done is put electrical grease in all the wiring connectors. Because that is the only thing I have had trouble with.
Excellent job well done Nico Brothers. Looking forward to buy a Ford Focus RS with light Water Damages. You guys can do the job for me?. Please let me know if you work with Customers Vehicles?.Thanks
I wonder what the entails of putting a flooded car back on the road as a rebuild title, I wasn't sure what the inspectors would be looking for and at. I came across a 2014 GT500 5.8 l Shelby, it was running in the video and moved around the holding lot with no other issues, water line level looks to been at the seat bucket part . It wasn't a submerged vehicle water was all in the floor pans and a little over the bottom seat , a driver would be sitting in water a bit . Nice car it was listed at the time $20k . If I bought it a repair would be needed or it could have been a good parts car for another car build.
I'd be concerned about the air ducts below the front seats, assuming water got to that level. Shove a paper towel rolled up on a stick into the vent below the seat to check for water or contamination. Block off the cabin air filter, all dash vents, and then blow air into a vent while leaving the rear facing floor vents open. Compressed air or leaf blower should remove water from here but you might need to add some disinfectant or something if water was in there for some time. Or, you can vacuum water out from the lower vent.
I haven't gone through a flooded car before. The only thing I can think of is trying to get the water if any out of the exhaust system. Other than that it looks like you guys are doing more than others trying to get a quick flip on these cars.
The water in the exhaust system will blow out or evaporate. The fluids in the tranny, rear end and engine, must be drained and refilled. Trannys have a vent, and water will get in there. Just checking the dipstick on the engine oil is a bad idea. Any water will have settled to the bottom of the oil pan and won’t show up on the dipstick. If they check the dipstick after it runs, the oil will remix with the water and be visible.
The one thing I always see on these flood cars later down the road is wheel bearing failures. Folks never think about them, and 90% of the time they were submerged really good. Sell the car, and a month later wheel bearings are toasted. There is so much folks forget about with a flood car, they just clean em up and ship em down the road.
Hi guys just found your channel some really good work you guys Are doing just one question I’m from uk when you buy a car here With damage or flood damage it’s recorded on a database Is that the same where you are
Do you have to disclose “flood” to a buyer after you’re done? I bought a BMW in the early 80’s (not disclosed) and it was a nightmare. Had to replace entire fuel system from tanks to injectors, full of rust. Paint peeled off, water pump shot, on snd on.
I have the same problem with my passat: there are a lot of coins trapped into seat rails and sometimes they are blocked and the seat is not moving. I had to dissassemble it twice.
That Nissan Sentra at the beginning really had a lot of water under the carpet and padding. You cut away from it as soon as you realized it. Wish you had shown how you got all of it out and dried up.
I’m not a fan of buying a car that has been under water no matter how good it’s cleaned. I just can’t imagine getting into a car on a very hot day after it has been sitting with the windows closed. It would have to smell terrible. The seat cushions will always hold moisture !
Guys - Great series with these flood damaged cars. I personally went through reparation to my slightly flooded new Audi A6 Allroad which was parked in rising water during the storm. I managed to drive it out before the water rose to high catastrophic levels, but nevertheless some water did make its way under the carpet. I monitored the body shop work where they replaced the carpet and padding, dried the residual water that was on the flooring, assessed the wiring (all seemed in good order and dried) and reassembled to near perfection. My only concern is what may surface in years to come regarding electronic gremlins. Your approach seems very thorough and should hopefully get these otherwise good cars back on the road with much more motoring ahead. Addictive content given my issues here!!!
Hi guys. In general I like your teardown procedure. The only thing I would add to it would be to take off the door panels both to dry out and to check connections on the window motors and door locks. Many of the cars had a water line above the floorpan and into the lower door areas. As others have said I think you should take all connectors apart clean and cover with dielectric grease. I have one question for you though. Around NE Ohio a salvage title will depreciate the book value of the vehicle by 30% to 40% just because of fear down the road. If that is the case in your area I think the cleanup work is eating a substantial percentage of your total profits. I'd like to see how many man hours you have spent in the cleanup.
Use are doing a great job cleaning the inside how about everything else that the water touched all the electric connectors under the vehicles and whatever else was sitting in water

That's solid advice
Yeah and long advice too 😉
You are exactly right on this!!! Also the dampness and smells will definitely come right back if you don’t remove it!!! It’s a lot easier to change it while you have it all out!!
Just replace with a NEW carpet and padding kit would be best.
i thought the exact same thing. I've had that padding get wet indoors. Carpet can be cleaned but not that stuff. Rip & ditch it.
Thank you for updating the info of the cars purchased at auction. Good luck everyone, it is part of the process.👍
One thing you are proving guys, is that just because a vehicle may have been in a flood, it doesn't mean that it only fit for scrap or parts.
You are getting those cars back up and running so that they can be used again and keep on going for a fair few miles yet.
Really, really well done. 👌👍❤😀

The Niko Brothers are great! I’m so glad you brought back all the RV’s and the flood cars!
Looks like you all do a extra good job cleaning and drying them out, there is no substitute for quality work and all these cars should work nicely for along time to come My hat is off to the Niko Busy Beavers!
Contact cleaners in all of the electrical connectors is recommended!

Make sure your battery is charged fully then check for fault codes. The modules 'think ' they have a problem simply because the voltage is so low . Great work so far and good video Brothers .👍👍
I will suggest the same thing, you left behind doors and those needs to be inspected against corrosion and future smells.

Great work, guys! I like the "get it done" attitude. Very entertaining, keep up the good work.
Guys, the way you do "Flooded Cars" and there repair/review, I would buy one from you for my daughter.
Awesome!!! You guys rock..! Simply amazing I could imagine that smell once you dried out the cars.... thanks guys
Kudos to you guys. You made everything look simple. Love everything about the way you simplified the whole job.
What about removing the door panels? The drain holes can get clogged. You've got to check the plugs in them too.
Been in the marine electronics business all my life. Electronics get wet all the time. Remove the plastic covers, put the electronics board and assembly in the wife's oven at no more than 200 degrees. You will be amazed at how they will often come back to life.
How long do you stick them in the oven for ?
Do you can take a cars main computer and do that ?
Hi brothers ,also do a oil change on automatic gearbox specially the cvt type ,they have breathers on them where water could get in .Thank you from a lock down New Zealand 👍
Keep doing it right and your rewards will come. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day.
Hi Guys glad you are on the right track take god bless you all
You guys take alot of pride in your work. I would not hesitate buying one of these cars from you.
Really appreciate what you guys are doing to save flooded cars so they can be used again instead of crushed for recycle. Seems anyone can do what you doing if they have basic tools and follow how you do it. Good video, thanks 🙏 guys.
I love the process you guys use Very expert and precise. I wouldn’t have any quams with owning one. Great job!

Do not forget the door panels and inside the doors 👍👍
Good stuff guys these videos are so addictive
definitely thorough, its a win buying from yall. there is nothing to ever worry about.
I just hope you guys are checking the tram and all wheel seals anything that has grease
Great job cleaning them car's your doing it the correct way
Might want to use a moisture meter to quickly check the carpet and seats. These are used by residential restoration companies to check moisture content in walls and floors.
I'd change all the diff fluid, trans fluid, transfer case fluid, and oil to insure there is no water that got in through vent tubes
Perfect

👉Good work !! Also 17:29... Bose ? Not sure about that one..lol ,. But good job
Great video as usual, and only recommendation is that don't forget doors and I saw many great comments here. So please followup at discretion.
Some modules can be fixed. Open them, clean them with IPA...
You are right, a lot of circuit boards can be clean with liquids and still work. As long as they are thoroughly dried.
good work

Hi guys just found your channel some really good work you guys
Are doing just one question I’m from uk when you buy a car here
With damage or flood damage it’s recorded on a database
Is that the same where you are
Yes they are all sold with water/flood on the title
Fun video love it
Do you have to disclose “flood” to a buyer after you’re done? I bought a BMW in the early 80’s (not disclosed) and it was a nightmare. Had to replace entire fuel system from tanks to injectors, full of rust. Paint peeled off, water pump shot, on snd on.
Flood vehicles should have branded titles.
I have the same problem with my passat: there are a lot of coins trapped into seat rails and sometimes they are blocked and the seat is not moving. I had to dissassemble it twice.
Laundry mat with super size washer of course
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😜
What about behind the dashboard? Doesn't that get wet?
Do a Fab work on that seat and touch up paint
Maybe some new foam
That Nissan Sentra at the beginning really had a lot of water under the carpet and padding. You cut away from it as soon as you realized it. Wish you had shown how you got all of it out and dried up.
Don't forget the trunks, spare tire area usually sits just as low as a seat
Hey guys, what do you do with the old modules that you replace ? Maybe sell them cheap on eBay …….
I’m not a fan of buying a car that has been under water no matter how good it’s cleaned. I just can’t imagine getting into a car on a very hot day after it has been sitting with the windows closed. It would have to smell terrible. The seat cushions will always hold moisture !
👍👍
With flooded vehicles can water get inside the transmission?
I don't know how much you average per car, but whatever it is, you guys earn it.
door cards off, spray with anti bac and mold, on in side,
I'd be worried about possible bent connecting rods on the explore, and check all differentials and transmissions for water.
Guys - Great series with these flood damaged cars. I personally went through reparation to my slightly flooded new Audi A6 Allroad which was parked in rising water during the storm. I managed to drive it out before the water rose to high catastrophic levels, but nevertheless some water did make its way under the carpet. I monitored the body shop work where they replaced the carpet and padding, dried the residual water that was on the flooring, assessed the wiring (all seemed in good order and dried) and reassembled to near perfection.

Your approach seems very thorough and should hopefully get these otherwise good cars back on the road with much more motoring ahead. Addictive content given my issues here!!!
Love your work, but no one explains how you check modules, grounds, etc. Sounds like a good video.
Tear down, clean, assembly, repeat. LOL
👏👍👊🙏
Hi guys. In general I like your teardown procedure. The only thing I would add to it would be to take off the door panels both to dry out and to check connections on the window motors and door locks. Many of the cars had a water line above the floorpan and into the lower door areas. As others have said I think you should take all connectors apart clean and cover with dielectric grease. I have one question for you though. Around NE Ohio a salvage title will depreciate the book value of the vehicle by 30% to 40% just because of fear down the road. If that is the case in your area I think the cleanup work is eating a substantial percentage of your total profits. I'd like to see how many man hours you have spent in the cleanup.
Where do you know where the flood car auction lots are?
Use are doing a great job cleaning the inside how about everything else that the water touched all the electric connectors under the vehicles and whatever else was sitting in water
Great job! However, there’s a lot of work on every car, was it worth the effort on a 2010 VW with over 100k? Thanks…..Jim
