Water Damage Phone Repair Minnetonka MN

Phone went in the pool, toilet, or Lake Minnetonka? Time matters more than anything with water damage. Here's what to do, what we can fix, and what honest expectations look like.

What to do immediately

• Turn it off right now — electricity and water together cause corrosion. If it's still on, power it off immediately.
• Don't plug it in to charge
• Don't use rice — it doesn't help and wastes time
• Wipe off any visible water with a dry cloth
• Call us — the sooner we can inspect it, the better the odds

What we can fix

Water damage repair is not a guaranteed fix — we'll be upfront about that. What we do is open the device, clean the corrosion from the logic board with isopropyl alcohol, and assess what's salvageable. Components that are corroded or shorted may need replacement.

Phones that were submerged briefly and powered off quickly have the best outcomes. Phones that were left wet for hours or continued running while wet are harder to save.

Honest expectations

Modern iPhones (12 and newer) are rated IP68 — they can survive brief submersion. Older phones and most Samsung models have lower ratings. If your phone survived briefly and was powered off immediately, odds are good. If it sat in water for 30+ minutes while running, we'll try but want to be honest with you.
