Water Damage Phone Repair Kissimmee: Save Your Wet Phone Fast

Dropped your phone in water? Time is critical. Every minute counts when it comes to water damage—the longer you wait, the more corrosion spreads inside your device. Don’t put it in rice. Bring it to us.

At Kissimmee Phone Repair, we specialize in water damage recovery for phones, tablets, and other devices. Our technicians have saved thousands of water-damaged devices using professional-grade tools and techniques that rice simply can’t match.

🚫 What NOT to Do (Common Mistakes)

❌ Don’t Put It in Rice

The rice myth needs to die. Rice doesn’t absorb moisture from inside your phone—it just wastes precious time while corrosion spreads. Studies show rice is actually one of the least effective drying methods.

❌ Don’t Use a Hair Dryer

Heat can damage sensitive components and push water deeper into the device. It may also warp the battery, creating a safety hazard.

❌ Don’t Charge It

Plugging in a wet phone can cause short circuits and permanent damage. Don’t try to charge until a professional has inspected it.

❌ Don’t Shake or Blow Into It

This can push water into areas it hadn’t reached yet, making the damage worse.

✅ What TO Do Immediately

1. Remove it from water immediately
2. Power it off – Don’t try to use it or check if it works
3. Remove the case and any accessories
4. Gently shake water out of ports (charging port facing down)
5. Pat dry with a soft cloth – don’t rub
6. Bring it to us ASAP – The sooner, the better your chances

Our Professional Water Damage Treatment

Step 1: Immediate Assessment

We open your device and assess the extent of water intrusion. We identify which components have been affected.

Step 2: Ultrasonic Cleaning

We use professional ultrasonic cleaning equipment to remove water, minerals, and contaminants from the circuit board—something rice definitely can’t do.

Step 3: Corrosion Removal

Water leaves behind minerals that corrode your phone’s circuits. We carefully clean corrosion from the logic board and connectors.

Step 4: Drying & Testing

We properly dry all components and test the device’s functions: screen, touch, charging, speakers, microphones, cameras, and more.

Step 5: Component Replacement (If Needed)

Sometimes water damages specific components beyond repair. We can replace batteries, charging ports, speakers, and other parts as needed.

Types of Water Damage We Treat

Source	Severity
Dropped in pool	Moderate (chlorine can help)
Dropped in toilet	Moderate to High
Dropped in ocean/salt water	High (salt accelerates corrosion)
Spilled drink on phone	High (sugars are corrosive)
Rain exposure	Low to Moderate
Washing machine	High (prolonged exposure)

Water Damage Repair FAQ

How much does water damage repair cost?

Costs depend on the severity of damage and what components need repair or replacement. We provide a quote after our diagnostic assessment.

Will I lose my data?

If we can save your phone, your data should be intact. If the phone can’t be repaired, we may be able to recover data from the storage.

My phone is “water resistant”—why did it get damaged?

Water resistance isn’t waterproof, and it degrades over time. Drops, pressure changes, and normal wear can compromise the seals.

Should I try turning it on to see if it works?

No! This is the worst thing you can do. Powering on a wet phone can cause short circuits and make damage permanent.
