⚠️ iPhone Got Wet? Do This Right Now

The most important rule: DO NOT charge your iPhone if it has been wet. This is the single most common way a recoverable device becomes destroyed.

Immediate steps if your iPhone got wet:

  1. Remove from water immediately
  2. Turn it OFF (hold side button + volume, then slide to power off)
  3. Do NOT plug it in or attempt to charge it
  4. Shake gently to remove water from ports
  5. Wipe outside dry with a cloth
  6. Bring it to us as fast as possible — ideally within 1–2 hours

Do NOT put it in rice. The rice myth is persistent but has been debunked repeatedly. Rice does nothing to remove moisture from inside the device and the starch can actually make cleaning harder. You're wasting critical time that could save your phone.

Why Phuket Is a Water Damage Hotspot

Phuket's environment is uniquely challenging for electronics. Between the beach activities, pool parties, water parks, snorkelling trips, tropical rainstorms, and high humidity — phones get wet here constantly. We see water damage cases every single day of the year, and we've developed specific expertise in Phuket's unique damage patterns: sea salt corrosion, chlorine damage from pools, and monsoon rain ingress.

Even "waterproof" iPhone 15 models with IP68 ratings fail here regularly. The IP68 seal degrades over time and the rating only covers still, fresh water — not waves, pool chemicals, or pressurised water. Plus, a single hairline crack from a previous drop can completely defeat the water resistance.

Our Water Damage Repair Process

  • Step 1 — Immediate inspection: We assess the device and check for visible corrosion and short circuits
  • Step 2 — Ultrasonic cleaning: The logic board is submerged in an ultrasonic cleaning bath with appropriate solution to remove salt, chlorine, minerals and oxidation
  • Step 3 — Isopropyl treatment: 99% isopropyl alcohol rinse removes any remaining contaminants
  • Step 4 — Controlled drying: Board dried in a controlled environment — never with heat guns or ovens
  • Step 5 — Component testing: Each component tested — screen, camera, Face ID, charging, cellular, WiFi
  • Step 6 — Replacement of failed components: Any components damaged by corrosion are replaced
  • Step 7 — Final testing & waterproof re-seal: Full function test and adhesive re-seal before return

Salt Water vs Pool Water vs Rain — What's the Difference?

Salt water (sea) is the most damaging — salt crystals form as the water evaporates and continue causing corrosion for days. Highest urgency.
Pool water (chlorinated) is also highly corrosive due to chlorine. Second highest urgency.
Fresh water / rain is least corrosive. Still requires prompt treatment but recovery rates are highest.

Regardless of water type, time is the critical factor. A phone dropped in the sea and brought to us within 1 hour has an excellent chance of full recovery. The same phone left overnight has a much lower chance.

Water Damage FAQs

1) Turn it off. 2) Don't charge it. 3) Shake gently to remove water from ports. 4) Wipe dry. 5) Bring it to us immediately. Do NOT put it in rice — this wastes critical time and does nothing useful.
Ultrasonic cleaning + diagnosis starts at ฿1,500. Full repair including component replacement ranges ฿1,500–฿3,500. We quote after diagnosis before any work. No charge for diagnostic if unrecoverable.
80%+ when brought in within 24 hours. 40–60% for devices charged while wet or left for 48+ hours. Salt water causes faster corrosion — urgency is highest for sea damage.
IP68 rating degrades over time. Ocean waves, pool chemicals, and pressure impacts can defeat it. Apple's warranty doesn't cover water damage even on IP68 models.
In most successful repairs, all data is preserved. If the storage chip is damaged, chip-level data extraction is possible. Success depends on damage extent.
Ultrasonic cleaning takes 1–3 hours. Full repair typically 2–4 hours same-day. Complex board-level repairs may be overnight. We always give a time estimate upfront.
Yes — sea water damage is our most common. Bring it immediately, don't rinse with fresh water, don't charge it. We use ultrasonic cleaning to neutralise salt corrosion.
