Try this before you call
- Turn the MacBook off immediately and do not charge it
- Unplug everything and do not keep pressing power
- Wipe away surface liquid and turn it upside down
- Do not use a hairdryer, which pushes liquid deeper

MacBook water damage: your questions answered
Can a water damaged MacBook be saved?
Often yes, especially if it reaches us quickly and has not been powered on repeatedly. We assess it during our call-out.
Should I put my MacBook in rice?
No. Rice does not remove corrosion and only delays proper treatment. Power it off and get it to us as fast as you can.
Will I lose my files after a spill?
Not necessarily. The storage is often unaffected even when the MacBook will not boot, and we prioritise recovery.
Do you come to me?
Yes. We offer a call-out and treat liquid damage as an urgent priority.
Why MacBook water damage is worth doing right
MacBook water damage: corrosion spreads fast
Even after a spill dries, corrosive residue keeps attacking the logic board (the main circuit board). Early cleaning stops the damage becoming permanent.
Rice does not work
The rice trick does nothing for corrosion and wastes vital time. Proper board level cleaning is the only reliable rescue.
Your data is often safe
Even when a MacBook will not boot, the storage is usually intact. We prioritise recovering your files first.
