What water really does to your phone
Water itself is not what kills a phone — current flowing through a wet board is. That is why charging a wet phone, or forcing restarts, turns a cleanable device into a dead one.
Rain and flooding are the most common cases we see in Surulere, followed by drinks spilled on a table and drops into water at home.
- Phone will not power on after contact with water
- Screen showing lines, blotches or a dim image
- No sound, muffled calls, mic not picking up
- Will not charge, or charges then dies
- Random restarts and heavy overheating
- Fogged camera lens or moisture under the glass
Ultrasonic cleaning and board-level recovery
We disconnect the battery first, strip the device, remove the shields and run the board through a professional ultrasonic bath that removes corrosion rice and hair dryers cannot touch.
The board then dries fully before power is reapplied — which is why this repair is not instant — and we test each power rail, repairing shorted lines and replacing corroded components.

Frequently asked questions
- Can a water-damaged phone be fixed?
- Often yes, especially if it reaches us quickly and has not been charged while wet. Ultrasonic cleaning plus board-level repair recovers many phones.
- Does rice help a wet phone?
- No. Rice leaves the corrosion inside and adds dust. Power the phone off and bring it in for professional cleaning.
- How long does water damage repair take?
- Usually 24 to 48 hours for cleaning and diagnosis, because the board must dry fully before testing.
- Can you recover my photos if the phone cannot be saved?
- In many cases, yes. Tell us data recovery is your priority and we work toward that first.
