Electrostar Electronics Recovery Solutions | Damage Restoration in Houston, TX

In our experience, the top causes are water heater leaks (often from aging units in attics or closets), river flood damage during heavy rains (especially in low-lying areas near bayous), attic condensation from improper ventilation, and hidden pipe leaks behind walls. Any of these can soak electronics like entertainment systems, computers, or kitchen appliances before you even notice.

Look for signs like corrosion on metal contacts, a musty smell, intermittent functionality (e.g., flickering screens), or visible moisture under clear casings. Sometimes devices turn on but act erratically. If you suspect water exposure, don't plug it in—power surge can worsen the damage. Call us for a free inspection; we use moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture inside.

First, safely power off and unplug the device. Remove batteries if possible. Do not try to dry it with a hairdryer—heat can warp components. Bring it to Electrostar Electronics Recovery Solutions. We perform a controlled cleaning with deionized water and specialized solvents, then use vacuum drying chambers to remove all moisture. After testing each circuit, we repair or replace damaged parts. This restores most devices at a fraction of replacement cost.
