Water damage can happen quickly, whether from rain, spills or a device slipping into a sink. In Glasgow, sudden showers and busy days mean accidents are easy to imagine.
When you bring in a phone with suspected water damage, I first check how it responds when connected to specialist equipment. I avoid turning it on carelessly, as this can worsen the situation if liquid is still present.
I then look for moisture indicators, corrosion marks and staining around connectors, shields and screws. These signs show how far the water has travelled inside the device.
Depending on what we see, I explain the options, which can include thorough cleaning, component-level repair or, in some cases, data-focused recovery when full restoration is unlikely.
Throughout the process, I am clear about the limits of water damage repair while doing everything reasonable to stabilise the phone and protect important information.
However complicated the fault may feel at first, my priority is always to offer a clear, steady explanation and a repair path that makes everyday life in Glasgow easier, not more stressful.
FAQ
Q1. What should I do immediately after water damage in Glasgow?
If safe, switch the phone off, do not charge it and bring it for assessment as soon as you reasonably can.
Q2. Does rice fix water damage?
Rice may absorb surface moisture but cannot remove liquid from under chips or connectors. Professional cleaning is far more reliable.
Q3. Can every water-damaged phone be fully repaired?
No. Some can be stabilised or used long enough to recover data, but others suffer damage that cannot be reversed.
