iPhone Water Damage Cleaning

The sooner, the better. Water by itself doesn’t damage electronics – electricity is the real problem. If the phone is off and you don’t turn it on, there’s a very high chance everything will work and you’ll avoid any issues.

If it’s on or has turned itself on, every minute counts. Come to us immediately – don’t put it in rice, don’t plug it into a charger and don’t shake it. Rice has been proven not to help at all, and plugging it in can directly fry the motherboard.

Rice in such situations is a huge myth. Yes, rice can absorb moisture, but not the moisture inside the phone – only from the air around it.

While you’re leaving the phone in rice for a few hours, the moisture inside is corroding the components. Every hour lost reduces the chance that the device will work normally. And if a friend told you they “saved” their phone with rice – they just got extremely lucky and the liquid didn’t reach the board. The rice did absolutely nothing in that case.

Yes. A phone that doesn’t work after getting wet doesn’t automatically mean it’s a write‑off. In many cases the issue is corrosion or a short circuit that can be fixed with professional cleaning, and even if there’s a problem with the motherboard, we can repair that too.

Bring it in, we’ll inspect it and tell you honestly what the situation is and whether there’s a chance to save it.

No. Neither Apple nor Samsung cover liquid damage under the standard warranty – even for models with an IP rating. An IP rating means resistance under controlled conditions, not a guarantee against any kind of water exposure. If the phone gets wet, the manufacturer will not repair it for free.

Of course. We reassemble your phone with a brand-new seal under the display so that it’s as close as possible to its factory condition. You should know that once a device has been opened, its IP rating can’t be officially certified again, but this applies to every repair shop, including Apple. What we guarantee is that the seal is installed perfectly and that your phone is protected from dust and accidental contact with water during normal use.
