Our Water Damage Repair Process

We use professional tools and techniques to give your device the best chance of recovery.

1

Initial Assessment

We open your device, inspect the extent of water ingress, and identify affected components.

2

Ultrasonic Cleaning

The logic board and components are cleaned in an ultrasonic bath to remove corrosion and mineral deposits.

3

Component Testing

Each component is tested individually to determine what is working and what needs replacement.

4

Repair & Reassembly

Damaged parts are replaced, the device is reassembled, and we run a full function test.

What Water Damage Can Affect

Water can impact many parts of your device. We diagnose and repair all of these.

Screen & Display

Water spots, discolouration, touch issues, or a completely dead display.

Battery & Power

Device won't turn on, drains rapidly, or won't hold a charge after water exposure.

Charging Port

Corrosion in the charging port causing intermittent or no charging.

Camera

Speaker & Microphone

Muffled sound, crackling audio, or mic not picking up your voice.
