About the service
At Geek Fix, we specialize in advanced water damage repair services to rescue your devices from liquid accidents. Whether your phone slipped into the pool, caught a splash of coffee, or your laptop was left out in the rain, acting fast is critical. Our expert technicians don’t rely on guesswork or myths; we use professional diagnostics and deep chemical cleaning processes to reverse corrosion and save your valuable hardware and personal data.
Expert Liquid Damage Recovery Services
When liquid enters a device, it initiates an immediate chemical reaction that creates corrosion and short circuits on the motherboard. Even if a wet phone turns on initially, hidden moisture will slowly destroy the copper traces over the following days. At our shop, we completely disassemble your device to tackle the root of the problem. Our emergency liquid recovery services include:
- Ultrasonic Motherboard Cleaning
- Corrosion Mitigation & Scrubbing
- Micro-Soldering Component Restorations
- Battery Safety Isolation

What to Do (and NOT to Do) Immediately
Critical Warning: If your phone gets wet, do NOT put it in a bag of rice. Rice leaves behind a fine starch dust that mixes with the moisture inside, creating a thick paste that accelerates corrosion and permanently destroys charging ports and internal components.
Turn the device completely off right away. If it is already off, leave it off. Running an electrical current through wet circuits causes irreversible short circuits.
Take off any protective phone cases, unplug charging cables, and immediately remove the SIM card tray to allow trapped air to escape.
Thoroughly dry the outside of the device with a clean microfiber cloth or paper towel. Do not use a hairdryer, as heat can melt solder joints and push water deeper inside.
Get the device to our shop as quickly as possible. The sooner our technicians can open the housing and disconnect the battery, the higher its survival rate.
Friendly Asked Questions.
Can you guarantee that a water-damaged phone can be fixed?
Because liquid damage is completely unpredictable and depends heavily on how long the device was submerged, what kind of liquid it was (saltwater is significantly more destructive than freshwater), and whether it was turned on, no repair shop can offer a 100% guarantee. However, our advanced ultrasonic cleaning method offers an exceptionally high success rate if brought in quickly.
How much does a liquid damage diagnostic cost?
We offer an initial assessment to open the device and check the severity of the internal corrosion. If the device requires extensive ultrasonic cleaning or advanced micro-soldering, we will provide a completely transparent, upfront quote before starting any advanced repairs.
Will I lose my photos and data if my phone has water damage?
Data recovery is our primary goal during a liquid damage treatment. Even if the device cannot be permanently restored to daily working condition, our technicians frequently manage to get the logic board stable enough to pull your irreplaceable photos, contacts, and files safely.
Does a phone's built-in water resistance rating protect it completely?
No. Water resistance ratings (like IP68) degrade over time due to daily phone drops, heat exposure, and aging adhesives. A phone that is two years old is significantly less water-resistant than it was out of the box, making professional inspection essential after a bad drop in water.
