I recently drove my car through a huge puddle and water came inside the car, about 1 inch of water has saturated into the car floor, I am very worried about mold and mildew under the carpet, I called the adjuster 2 days ago and they still haven't came to look at the damage... should I dry it myself instead of waiting... and if so how do i dry it? it's still soaked. Please help!!

Hi janira-s
Don't wait get shop vac suckup as much as you can. Then at each door remove the door jam cover. Lift up carpet wedge block of wood under carpet. Then get all the fans you can find start blowing into car. Then make for store get some Damp Rid place in car.
Good luck
