Electronics and water have never quite seen eye to eye. After years of innovation, we've finally figured out how to make some of them water proof.

Dealing with your plumbing damage wisely will ensure that you are going to be able to minimize the damage that occurs.

If your plumbing damage is excessive you may find that you can suffer terrible losses from the damage. The plumbing damage should be dealt with as soon as possible and you will want to have a plan for the way that you can deal with it.

As you are dealing with your plumbing damage you are going to need to start by shutting off your shutoff valve. When you shutoff your valve, you will be sure that water is not going to continually flow through the plumbing damage.

This city has just barely recovered from the hurricane damage from Katrina, which took out a majority of the city, destroying buildings and paths in its wake.

As soon as it is out, remove the battery, cutting the connection with electricity. Leaving the battery on can only do more harm than good as electricity can wreak havoc on the phone in the moist environment if left attached.

You can check for water damage by removing the battery and checking the white paper circle. If the liquid penetrated to the center of the phone, then the paper will have turned blue as it is reactant to water. Remove any other parts that can come off. Your goal with this is to expose as many parts of the phone as possible so it can air dry evenly and quickly.

When the leak is not coming from the wax seal on the toilet, you will then want to start looking into the tub and the shower area. As you are looking in your bathtub and shower, make sure that you look at the shower-head, spout and handles.

While you are looking at each of the different parts of your bathroom, you should be extensive in your search. After you leave the bathroom, you will then want to look at the area where your washer and dryer are kept.

A leaky washer and dryer can be extremely detrimental and you will need to have it fixed as soon as possible. If you do not feel that you are going to be able to fix your plumbing damage on your own, you should hire a professional as soon as possible.

With relatively slower winds and better levees, the city should stand a fighting chance against the disaster to come. Hurricane damage should be diminished at the very least.

Avoid turning your phone on before this step as it will likely cause it more damage than good. Make sure it's as dry as you can get it before giving it a second chance. Once you're satisfied with how dry your cell is, and then test it out. Turn it on and try out the features.

If the cell is still acting funny, turn it off and drying it again using rice and towels. If by that time it's still giving you problems, consider contacting your provider about getting it replaced.
