Phone Data Recovery — iPhone, Android, Water Damage
Short answer
Do not charge or rice-dry a water-damaged phone — corrosion spreads while it is powered. Bring it in for a $50 same-day evaluation; we tell you honestly whether photos, messages and contacts are reachable before quoting a fixed recovery price.
Dropped your phone in water? Cracked screen and won't turn on? We recover photos, videos, contacts, and messages from broken iPhones and Android phones in our local Houston lab.

Water-damaged phone? Don't put it in rice.
Rice does nothing — corrosion starts on contact. Power the phone off, don't try to charge it, and bring it to us. The faster we get it under a microscope, the more likely we recover your photos and contacts intact.
How we recover phone data
For phones that can still boot, we image the storage and extract data through standard developer protocols. For phones that won't power on, we perform board-level repairs (or, when needed, transplant the NAND chip onto a working donor board) to bring the device back long enough for a full extraction.
iPhone vs Android — what's recoverable
Modern iPhones with a working Secure Enclave require your passcode for full recovery. Android devices are usually more flexible: even on locked phones, photos and media are often recoverable. Always tell us your passcode if you have it — it dramatically improves results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can data be recovered from a water-damaged iPhone?
Yes, often. We see successful recoveries on phones that have been submerged for days. The key is to power it off immediately and not attempt to charge it.
How much does phone data recovery cost?
Evaluation is a flat $50, same day. Most phone recoveries run $400–$900 depending on whether the phone boots or needs board-level repair.
Can you recover deleted photos from my phone?
Sometimes — depends on the OS version, whether the photo is in iCloud/Google Photos trash, and how much the phone has been used since deletion. Stop using the phone and bring it in.
Do I need to give you my passcode?
Strongly recommended. Modern iPhones especially require the passcode for a meaningful recovery. Without it, only limited data is reachable.
