Nairobi's rainy seasons — the long rains from March to May and the short rains from October to December — make water resistance a meaningful feature for any smartphone. Phones rated IP67 or IP68 achieve that protection through a system of rubber gaskets and silicone seals around every opening. Once these seals are broken or degraded, the phone's water resistance drops significantly.
What Is a Phone Water Resistant Seal?
Water resistant seals are precision-fit rubber or silicone gaskets placed around the display perimeter, rear cover edge, charging port, SIM tray, and all button apertures. On high-end devices they work together to achieve an IP67 or IP68 rating — meaning the phone can withstand submersion at defined depths for up to 30 minutes. These seals are single-use consumables; any device opening requires fresh seals for continued water resistance.
Common Reasons to Replace Water Resistant Seals
- After any repair — opening the device for screen, battery, or any other repair destroys the original seal
- Age degradation — silicone seals harden and crack after two to three years of use
- Accidental water damage — indicates the existing seals have already been compromised
- Seal extrusion — visible rubber bulging around panel edges signals seal failure

At Pro-Logic Technologies, Kangari Building, Nairobi, water resistant seal kits matched to your device model are applied after any repair that involves opening the chassis. Seal replacement is also available as a standalone service to restore water resistance to aging devices.

Should You Replace Your Water Resistant Seals?
Any device that has been opened for repair has compromised water resistance — regardless of the original IP rating. Restoring the seals is especially important for devices used outdoors, on construction sites, or during Nairobi's wet seasons.
