Recover Photos from Water Damaged iPhone
Dropped your iPhone in water? Your photos may still be saved — but only if you act immediately. Do NOT charge the phone. Call our Melbourne specialists now.
Why Photos Survive Water Damage (When Recovered Fast)
Photos on your iPhone are stored on a NAND flash memory chip — a remarkably durable piece of technology. While water causes corrosion on the surrounding circuitry, the chip itself can often survive liquid exposure if the corrosion is stopped before it reaches the chip.
Our clean room process removes corrosion from the logic board and stabilises the device. Once stabilised, we extract photos either through normal means or via chip-level extraction if the device cannot function normally.
The critical factor is time. Corrosion progresses hourly. A phone brought to us within hours has dramatically better photo recovery prospects than one brought in days later.
What to Do Right Now
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get my photos back from a water damaged iPhone?
Yes, in many cases. Photos are stored on the NAND memory chip, which can survive water damage. The faster you act, the higher the chance. Call us immediately on 0435 277 611.
My phone was in water briefly and still works — are my photos safe?
For now, yes. But internal corrosion may cause failure later. Back up photos immediately via iCloud while the phone still works, and have it professionally inspected.
Are photos recoverable from a phone submerged in seawater?
Seawater is more damaging than fresh water, but photos may still be recoverable. Act immediately — every hour matters even more with saltwater damage.
Will the recovered photos be in full quality?
Yes. We recover original files from the device memory. Photos are returned in their original resolution and format, not compressed copies.
