Do this right now
Every minute counts with water damage.
Step 1
Power it off immediately
If it's still on, turn it off. Do not plug it in to charge.
Step 2
Don't shake or blow it
This pushes water deeper into the circuit board. Leave it still.
Step 3
Remove the SIM and any case
Get to the phone as bare as possible to let it breathe.
Step 4
Bring it in straight away
The sooner we get it, the higher the chance of full recovery. Don't wait overnight.
⚠️ Don't put your phone in riceRice is a myth. It absorbs almost no moisture from inside the phone and wastes critical recovery time. Bring the device to a professional as fast as possible for the best chance of a full recovery.
What the water damage recovery process looks like
Stage 1
Free diagnostic
We open the device, assess the extent of corrosion and moisture penetration, and give you an honest quote.
Stage 2
Ultrasonic cleaning
The board is cleaned to remove corrosion. Damaged components are identified and replaced where possible.
Stage 3
Test & return
We power on the device, test all functions, and only return it when we're confident it's working correctly.
