Other Repair

Waterproof drones do exist, but most of them are not made to be used in a wet environment. The first thing to do if your drone gets wet is disconnect the power supply, then dry it with a hairdryer or wrap it in a dry cloth.

Typically, when a drone is harmed by water, the conductors of the motor fuse, and then the lithium-ion batteries get damaged. Also, saltwater is more damaging than fresh water because the salt in saltwater corrodes metal much faster than fresh water.

Several factors affect the cost of repairing a water-damaged drone including:

• The type of drone.
• The repair shop’s prices.
• The severity of the damage.
• The cost of the replacement parts.

In general, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100-$500.
