iPhone 16 Water Damage Repair in St. Louis

The advanced IP68 water resistance rating on the iPhone 16 is impressive, but it's not a magic shield against all liquid damage. Over time, normal wear and tear can compromise the seals, and a drop in a chlorinated pool or saltwater can be devastating. At our St. Louis shop, we specialize in iPhone 16 liquid damage repair, offering the expertise and tools needed to save your device.

Is My Water Damaged iPhone 16 Worth to Fix?

This is a question we get all the time for both new and older models. The answer is almost always yes. A professional repair can be significantly cheaper than a full replacement. We can often save the data on your water-damaged device, making the repair a worthwhile investment for both your wallet and your memories. We are happy to evaluate any water-damaged iPhone model to give you an honest assessment.

How to Troubleshoot a Water Damaged iPhone 16

If you think your iPhone 16 may be suffering from liquid damage, look for these common signs:

  • Audio Issues: Muffled sound from speakers or a static sound during calls.

  • Charging Problems: The phone doesn’t charge or only charges intermittently.

  • Screen Display: Dark spots, lines, or discoloration under the screen.

  • Overheating: The device becomes abnormally hot, especially near the battery.

  • Condensation: Visible moisture inside the camera lens or beneath the screen.

If you observe any of these symptoms, your best course of action is to power down the device and bring it in for a professional diagnostic.

What to Do Immediately After Your iPhone 16 Gets Wet

  1. Turn It Off: The most crucial step. Powering the phone can cause a short circuit on the internal components.

  2. Unplug Everything: If it’s connected to a charger or any other accessory, unplug it immediately.

  3. Remove the SIM Card: Take out the SIM card tray and dry the card to prevent damage. This also allows a small opening for air circulation.

  4. Dry It Externally: Use a soft, absorbent cloth to wipe the exterior of the device. Avoid paper towels or napkins which can leave behind lint.

Avoid the following if your Apple iPhone has suffered water damage

  • Don’t Use a Hairdryer or Heat: Heat will not dry the phone but can instead cause more damage to the internal components and delicate solder connections.

  • Don’t Put It in Rice: This common myth is ineffective. Uncooked rice can push tiny particles into the charging port, speaker grilles, and other openings, leading to more issues.

  • Don’t Press Any Buttons: Pressing buttons can force liquid deeper into the device’s interior.

  • Don’t Try to Charge It: Applying power to a wet circuit board is the quickest way to cause a permanent short circuit.

JP was excellent! We came in because my wife’s phone had a virus on it. He showed us how to fix the issue without buying a virus app and he didn’t charge us for it. Definitely recommend C&C for all your phone needs.

My phone was acting silly for about three weeks, jumping in and out cutting on and off by itself. The screen look like it was a black-and-white a Polaroid photo and I can’t see see thinking I need a screen. God is good. He fixed my phone in two minutes and bless me with the screensaver because I did have a cracked screen where he could’ve charged me $97. God bless him. You need anything done electronically -C&C on Lindbergh! They got U!!!
