What Counts as Water Damage on a Phone?
Not sure if your phone has water damage? Here are the signs customers in Treasure Valley most commonly describe when they call us:
- Phone won’t turn on after getting wet
- Screen has dark spots, blurry patches, or discoloration
- Speaker sounds muffled or crackly
- Charging port isn’t working or charges intermittently
- Phone keeps restarting on its own
- Camera lens is foggy from the inside
- Phone gets unusually hot
If any of these match what you’re seeing, stop trying to charge or power on the phone — that’s the fastest way to cause permanent damage — and bring it to our Boise shop right away.
How Does Water Damage Repair Actually Work?
Our technicians follow a proven process to clean and restore water damaged phones. Here’s what happens when you bring your phone into Four Corners Repair Center in Boise:
- Inspection: We open the phone and assess how far the moisture got and which components were affected.
- Disassembly: We carefully remove the battery, screen, and internal parts to stop any ongoing corrosion.
- Ultrasonic Cleaning: We use an ultrasonic cleaning machine to remove mineral deposits and corrosion from the motherboard and components — no guesswork, no rice.
- Drying: Components are thoroughly dried before reassembly.
- Testing: We test every function — screen, speakers, camera, charging port, and buttons — before we hand the phone back to you.
- Part Replacement (if needed): If the battery, charging port, or another component didn’t survive, we replace it on the spot using quality parts.
This process gives your phone a real chance at recovery — not just a bowl of rice and a prayer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a phone be fixed after water damage?
Yes, many water damaged phones can be fully restored — especially when you bring them in quickly. The longer moisture sits inside the phone, the more corrosion builds up. Acting fast dramatically improves the odds of a successful repair.
Does putting a phone in rice actually work?
No. Rice absorbs some surface moisture but does nothing to remove the minerals and corrosion already forming inside your phone. Ultrasonic cleaning is far more effective. Skip the rice and bring your phone in instead.
How long does water damage repair take in Boise?
Most water damage repairs at Four Corners are completed the same day, often within a few hours. Complex cases involving multiple damaged components may take until the next business day.
Is water damage covered under warranty?
Manufacturer warranties (like AppleCare without the Plus plan) typically do not cover water damage. However, all repairs performed at Four Corners come with our own warranty, so any work we do is backed by us directly.
