Water Damage Recovery in Bali

Water damage recovery is a race against time. Corrosion begins the moment water contacts your phone's circuit board and contacts. The faster we treat the device, the higher the chance of a full recovery.

What happens when your phone gets wet

Water itself does not destroy electronics — the minerals and salts dissolved in the water do. When water enters your phone, it bridges electrical connections causing short circuits. Then as it evaporates, it deposits those minerals as a conductive residue that continues to corrode copper traces and contacts over hours and days.

This is why "leave it in rice" is outdated advice. Rice does nothing for corrosion and wastes critical treatment time. Professional ultrasonic cleaning and moisture displacement fluid are the only effective responses.

Immediate steps to take

1. Turn the phone OFF immediately. Do not attempt to charge it or turn it on to check if it works.
2. Remove any phone case to let water drain.
3. Do not put it in rice. Do not use a hair dryer.
4. Send us a WhatsApp immediately with your location.

Our water damage recovery process

We arrive at your location with a professional water damage kit. We open the device, remove all components, and apply ultrasonic cleaning techniques with moisture displacement solution to all circuit boards. We then carefully dry and inspect under magnification for corrosion.

After treatment, we test all functions: charging, screen, speakers, microphone, cameras, and cellular. In cases where corrosion has already set in, some components may need replacement. We advise you honestly on the cost of any additional parts before proceeding.

Recovery rates and honesty

Water damage outcomes depend on how long the device was submerged, in what type of water (clean pool water vs salt ocean water), and how quickly treatment begins. Salt water causes much faster corrosion than fresh or chlorinated pool water. Ocean phone drops should be treated as emergencies.

We cannot guarantee full recovery in every case, and we will never promise results we cannot deliver. What we guarantee is that professional treatment gives your phone its best possible chance. If the phone cannot be recovered, we focus on data recovery from the device instead.

Data recovery from water-damaged phones

Even if the phone itself is unsalvageable, the data storage chip is often intact. We can frequently recover photos, contacts, messages, and files from phones that will not power on. Your Bali holiday photos may be saved even if the phone is not.

Pricing and coverage

Water damage recovery is Rp 500.000 for the treatment. Additional parts needed for components damaged by corrosion are quoted separately. We cover all of Bali including Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Ubud, Denpasar, Sanur, Legian, Kerobokan, and Jimbaran.
