Act quickly—these steps could save your device from permanent damage!
- Retrieve the Phone
- Remove it from water immediately.
- Avoid pressing buttons! (It can push water deeper inside.)
- Power Down
- Hold Power + Volume Down (Android) or Side Button (iPhone) until it shuts off.
- Dry the Surface
- Gently pat with a microfiber cloth.
- Remove the case and SIM tray.
- Eject Water (For Compatible Phones)
- iPhones 7 and newer: Use the “Eject Water” shortcut (Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual).
- Samsung phones: Use the “Water Eject” app to play low-frequency sounds.
- Remove Moisture
- Skip the rice! Instead, place your phone with silica gel packets (or uncooked instant oatmeal) in a sealed container for 24-48 hours.
- Absolutely Avoid:
- Using heat sources like hair dryers or ovens (they can melt adhesives).
- Charging the phone (may cause electrical shorts).
- Shaking the device (spreads water internally).
- After 48 hours, test your phone:
- Attempt to charge it.
- Check speakers and microphones by playing audio.
- Look for fogging inside cameras or on the screen.

We handle what home remedies can’t:
✅ Ultrasonic cleaning to eliminate corrosion
✅ Alcohol baths for logic board restoration
✅ Component-level repairs (charging ports, antennas)
✅ Data recovery from water-damaged devices
