Water Damage Repair
Phone gone for a swim? It may not all be bad news.
Water Damage Repairs
Spills, rain, pools, washing machines, the kitchen sink — liquid and electronics are a bad mix, and water damage can strike in an instant. The good news is that a wet device isn't always a dead device. If you act quickly, David can give your phone, tablet or laptop the best possible chance of a full recovery.
Why Speed Matters
When liquid gets inside a device, the real damage often comes from corrosion that develops over the hours and days that follow. The sooner the device is assessed and properly cleaned, the better the outcome. David can carry out a careful internal inspection and treatment to halt corrosion before it spreads and causes permanent failure.
If your device has been exposed to liquid, it's best to:
- Turn it off and leave it off — don't try to charge it
- Avoid the "bag of rice" myth, which does little and wastes valuable time
- Get it to David as soon as possible for proper assessment
What David Can Do
- Full diagnostic assessment of the extent of the damage
- Careful disassembly and professional cleaning of internal components
- Corrosion treatment to protect the board and connectors
- Replacement of damaged parts such as batteries, screens and connectors
- Data recovery where the device itself can't be saved
Reports for Insurance Claims
Water damage is often covered by insurance, and David can make claiming easier. He can provide professional reports for insurers documenting the damage found, the cause where identifiable, and the work required or carried out — giving you the paperwork you need to support your claim with confidence.
Honest Outcomes
Not every water-damaged device can be brought back to life, and David will always be straight with you about the chances before significant work begins. Where a device can't be saved, the priority becomes recovering your data — your photos, messages and files — so the loss is as small as possible.
