Water Damage Repair · Bhangagarh, Guwahati

Wet Device? Power It Off. Now.

Monsoon rain, spilled chai, a phone in a puddle — liquid damage is one of the most common emergencies we handle in Guwahati, and the one where speed matters most. We treat water-damaged iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and iMacs with proper ultrasonic cleaning and board-level repair.

What This Repair Covers

  • Emergency assessment for wet devices — walk in, no appointment needed
  • Full disassembly and internal drying
  • Ultrasonic cleaning of boards and connectors
  • Corrosion removal and component-level board repair
  • Replacement of liquid-killed parts (displays, batteries, ports)
  • Data-first recovery when files matter more than the device

Signs You Need This Repair

  • Device won’t power on after getting wet
  • Intermittent faults after rain or a spill — speaker crackle, flicker, heat
  • Liquid-detection warnings on iPhone
  • MacBook keyboard or trackpad acting up after a spill

What Could Be Wrong

Direct immersion
Dropped into water, a sink or a bucket. Liquid reaches the board quickly through ports and seams.
Spills
Tea, coffee and soft drinks over a MacBook keyboard. Sugar and milk residue keeps corroding long after it dries.
Monsoon and humidity
Repeated damp exposure in Guwahati corrodes connectors gradually without one obvious incident.
Water resistance that has aged
Seals degrade and are compromised by any previous repair; an older device is not as water-resistant as it was new.

What We Check

Before any quote, and before anything is opened up:

  • Open promptly and assess how far the liquid travelled
  • Microscope inspection for corrosion and residue
  • Ultrasonic cleaning of affected areas where appropriate
  • Measure rails and test components to find what actually failed
  • Evaluate data recovery prospects if the device will not boot

How We Handle It

The most important repairs happen in the first minutes — and they’re yours to do. Power the device off. Don’t charge it. Don’t "test if it still works". Every minute a wet circuit stays powered increases the damage, and every day corrosion sits untreated shrinks the odds of full recovery. Then get the device to our Bhangagarh workshop as soon as you can.

Professional treatment isn’t drying — it’s decontamination. Water leaves conductive minerals on the board even after it evaporates, which is why "it dried out and worked for a week, then died" is such a common story. We disassemble the device, clean the board ultrasonically, inspect under magnification and repair what the liquid actually damaged.

We treat monsoon season seriously: if your device got wet, don’t wait for symptoms. A preventive inspection after a soaking costs little compared to the board repair it can prevent.

Your Repair Options

Clean and restore
Caught early, cleaning plus replacing damaged components often brings the device back to normal use.
Board-level repair
Where corrosion has destroyed tracks or components, microsoldering repair is often still viable.
Data recovery
When the device is beyond economic repair, recovering your photos and files becomes the priority.
An honest assessment
Not every liquid-damaged device can be saved, and we tell you before you spend anything.

Models We Work On

All iPhone, iPad, MacBook and iMac models. Outcome depends on the incident far more than the device.

Still using an older device? That's completely fine. We've been repairing Apple devices for 10+ years, so older models are part of what we see every day. Whether a specific repair is possible depends on the model, parts availability, the type of damage and the device's overall condition — tell us what you have and we'll give you a straight answer.

What Affects the Price

We don't publish fixed prices, because an honest quote depends on what we actually find. These are the things that move it:

  • How far the liquid spread and how much corrosion has formed
  • The type of liquid involved
  • How quickly the device reached us
  • Which components failed and whether board work is required

Diagnosis carries a fee — waived when you go ahead with the repair. You get a clear quote before any work starts. Send us your device details or call +91 91271 99144 for a device-specific estimate.

What To Do — And What Not To

Do this

  • Switch it off immediately and leave it off
  • Keep it upright, dry the outside, and bring it straight in
  • Tell us the liquid type and exactly when it happened
  • Say clearly if data recovery is your priority

Avoid this

  • Do not charge it or connect it to anything
  • Do not put it in rice
  • Do not apply heat from a hairdryer or leave it in the sun
  • Do not keep trying to switch it on

Every repair follows our four-step process — diagnose, explain, repair, test — with a clear quote before work begins and a warranty on eligible repairs. See how it works · Warranty details

FAQ

Water Damage Repair — Common Questions

Does putting a wet phone in rice work?
No — rice barely dehumidifies the air around the phone and does nothing for mineral deposits already on the circuits. It mostly wastes the crucial first 24 hours. Power off, don’t charge, and bring it in.
My device works fine after getting wet. Am I safe?
Not necessarily. Corrosion is progressive — devices commonly fail days or weeks after the liquid exposure. A quick internal inspection and cleaning removes the residue before it eats the board.
Which devices do you treat for water damage?
iPhone, iPad, MacBook, iMac and other Apple hardware. The treatment approach — disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning, corrosion repair — is the same discipline across devices.
