Troubleshooting Guide

View All Troubleshooting Guide
Who should I call if a vehicle is submerged and someone may be inside?

Call 911 immediately and give the location and what you can see from a safe place. Do not enter the water to attempt a vehicle recovery. Hooked-Up Towing & Recovery provides vehicle recovery; it is not a substitute for emergency rescue.

Can I start a vehicle after floodwater has receded?

Do not start or drive it until water exposure has been assessed. Hidden engine, electrical or brake damage may remain. Tell Hooked-Up Towing & Recovery the approximate water level and whether the engine was running so recovery can be discussed.

Should I enter the water to get belongings out of my vehicle?

No. Water depth, currents, contamination and the vehicle’s stability may be uncertain. Stay on safe ground and follow authorities’ directions. Discuss access to belongings with Hooked-Up Towing & Recovery after a safe recovery.

What if floodwater is still rising around a disabled vehicle?

Prioritize people’s safety and contact 911 for immediate danger. Do not drive or walk into floodwater. Wait for authorities to make the scene accessible before asking Hooked-Up Towing & Recovery to assess vehicle recovery.

What details help arrange recovery of a vehicle from water?

From a safe place, share the location, last known vehicle position, vehicle type and known water conditions. Do not enter the water to measure depth. Hooked-Up Towing & Recovery can assess recovery requirements once emergency needs and scene access are addressed.
