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
For restaurants, refrigeration reliability is a commercial requirement rather than a convenience. Service-speed cooling where every minute of downtime costs a service. We keep the parts and refrigerant these failures usually need on the van.

Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your cold room to catch wear before it becomes leaking water.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of leaking water in restaurants cold chains.
