Water Damage Repair FAQ
Can a phone be fixed after water damage?
Yes, many water-damaged phones are fully recoverable if brought in quickly. Success depends on how long the phone was submerged, whether it was in salt water or fresh water, and whether it was charged or turned on after getting wet. Do not charge or switch on a wet phone — this causes short circuits that make recovery much harder.
My phone still works after getting wet — do I still need to bring it in?
Yes. Water damage is progressive. A phone may appear to work fine immediately after getting wet but fail within days or weeks as water causes internal corrosion. Bring it in for professional cleaning even if it seems fine now, as cleaning early prevents motherboard failure.
What does water damage repair involve?
We open the phone, thoroughly clean all water-affected components using appropriate non-conductive cleaning solutions, dry internal components in our heating chamber, check for micro-corrosion under the microscope, and test all functions. We then reassemble and test the phone fully before returning it to you.
How long does water damage repair take?
Water damage repair typically takes 2 to 4 hours. In complex cases involving micro-soldering or motherboard chip replacements, it may take longer. We will examine the phone and give you an accurate time estimate within 15 minutes of you stepping into either shop.
