How does the iPhone 11 Pro Max water damage rescue work?

- Pickup service Vienna or express shipping
The courier picks up the iPhone 11 Pro Max in all 23 districts within hours. From the provinces express 24h. The longer water stays in the device, the more corrosion.
- Microscope diagnosis in the cleanroom
We open the iPhone 11 Pro Max under the microscope, document corrosion traces and test mainboard voltages. You receive photos + a fixed price – only then do you decide (49 € diagnostic).
- Ultrasonic cleaning + isopropanol 99
The affected board is placed in special cleaner and freed of corrosion using ultrasonic waves. Isopropanol 99 % removes mineral residue from the circuit traces.

Charging port, speaker, display, battery – certified spare parts. Price depends on the extent of damage. Fixed price in advance.

Rescue iPhone 11 Pro Max water damage – act fast, treat it correctly
The iPhone 11 Pro Max is IP68-certified – in theory up to 6 m of fresh water. In practice: seals age after 2+ years. After water contact, corrosion begins immediately: circuit traces on the mainboard oxidize, contacts deteriorate, the voltage regulation fails. The longer the water stays inside, the more expensive the repair – and the lower the rescue rate.
Reparo works in Vienna with ultrasonic cleaning and microscope board diagnosis. The price is hard to state as a flat rate: 49 € diagnostic, then depending on the damage – pure cleaning 99 €, with display replacement from 249 €, mainboard reballing from 349 €. After the diagnosis you receive a fixed price, no surprises. With a simultaneous display problem: see iPhone 11 Pro Max screen replacement.
The first 6 hours decide – what you can do right away
Switch off, do not plug in, do not put in rice. Then contact Reparo directly – pickup service Vienna often under 2 hours, from the provinces express 24h. With salt, chlorine or sugar water (cola, beer, juice) the 6-hour window is even shorter. All iPhone 11 Pro Max options: iPhone 11 Pro Max overview.

What should I do IMMEDIATELY if the iPhone 11 Pro Max fell into water?
Three things: (1) Switch off immediately – do not plug in to test. (2) Do not put in rice – rice does not draw out moisture fast enough. (3) Have Reparo pick it up immediately or send it in within 24h. Every hour counts – corrosion eats away at the circuit traces.
My iPhone 11 Pro Max has IP68 – why water damage anyway?
IP68 only applies factory-fresh and only to fresh water (1.5-6 m depending on the model, max. 30 minutes). After 2+ years the seals age, the housing adhesive loses elasticity. Salt water, chlorine or soap destroy the seal immediately. IP68 is a protection – not a guarantee.
How long does an iPhone 11 Pro Max water damage repair take?
The diagnosis takes 24h (the device must dry + be cleaned). Then depending on the damage 1-3 working days: pure cleaning the next day, with a display/charging port replacement 2-3 days. Express service 24h available for a surcharge.
Are photos, contacts and apps rescued in an iPhone 11 Pro Max water damage case?
If the mainboard is not completely destroyed: yes, the data usually stays intact. The flash storage is separate from the power supply. We try to pull a backup before the repair. With irreversible mainboard damage: data recovery is complex (200-600 €), which we discuss separately.
Can I bring my iPhone 11 Pro Max directly to Reparo?
Reparo has no customer access. Online booking, courier in all 23 Vienna districts. From the provinces insured shipping, return included in the price.
How does the pickup service in Vienna work for the iPhone 11 Pro Max water damage rescue?
Online booking, time window 9 am-6 pm, courier to your Vienna address. After the diagnosis a fixed price, then the repair. Courier included in the price.
Is shipping from the provinces safe for an iPhone 11 Pro Max?
Yes. After online booking you receive shipping instructions. Insured both ways. We regularly have customers from Graz, Linz, St. Pölten, Klagenfurt, Innsbruck and Bregenz.
Does Reparo give a warranty on an iPhone 11 Pro Max water damage repair?
3 months on replaced individual parts (charging port, display etc.). On the cleaning itself no warranty – long-term corrosion effects can appear months later despite perfect work. We say that openly.
Do I lose the Apple warranty through the iPhone 11 Pro Max water damage repair?
The Apple warranty explicitly excludes liquid damage – even on IP68-certified models. The Reparo water damage repair comes with 3 months function warranty on replaced components.
Is the iPhone 11 Pro Max water damage repair worth it in 2026?
With total damage (display+mainboard+charging port) we are at 400+€. Comparison: a used iPhone 11 Pro Max from around 312 € with a fresh battery – doing the math is worthwhile. Often the repair is still cheaper because of data migration + lost Apple Pay cards.
Was the iPhone 11 Pro Max in salt water, the sea or chlorine water – does that make a difference?
Yes, massively. Salt water is more electrically conductive and corrosive than tap water. Chlorine water damages seals. With salt/chlorine: contact us immediately, even if the device is off. The first 6 hours decide whether it can be rescued.
Should I try rice before coming to Reparo?
No. Rice absorbs moisture very slowly (days) and does not draw water out of the housing interior. In that time corrosion keeps working. Better: switch off the device, come directly to us – vacuum drying + ultrasonic cleaning.
