Even if you did have insurance i don't know if they would cover it. I've heard that phones usually have a water damage indicator sticker and that most coverages do not warranty water damage because they assume that it was the fault of the user for getting it wet. Thats what i heard anyways. Best of luck.

our put it in a rubbing alcohol bath for a couple seconds, then leave it out to dry. it will evaporate the water much easier.

my brother needed a new battery or phone or something, turns out that sticker said there was water damage. so he went back home, made a little sticker to put over it, and brought it in to another verizon store. he got a new phone
