The Reyds Solution
We clear and flush the drain line, repair or replace the drain pan, and verify the defrost cycle so condensate routes cleanly out of your unit — stopping the leak and the hazard it creates.
Industry context
Restaurants
In a restaurant, leaking water moves from nuisance to operational risk very quickly. Service-speed cooling where every minute of downtime costs a service. We keep the parts and refrigerant these failures usually need on the van.
Cape Town coverage

Our Northern Suburbs technicians treat Durbanville as core coverage rather than an outlying callout. Familiarity with Durbanville means less guesswork about access and parking on arrival.
Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Replace door seals at the first sign of perishing to stop the warm-air ingress that drives many leaking water callouts.
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the cold room under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so leaking water is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your cold room to catch wear before it becomes leaking water.
