We treat it as a urgent callout and aim to reach Fish Hoek within 60–120 min. Our technician works through the electrical, refrigerant and airflow side of the fault in turn, then proves the repair.

Industry context
Butcheries
In a butchery, leaking water moves from nuisance to operational risk very quickly. Meat-critical cold storage where temperature drift means loss and risk. We keep the parts and refrigerant these failures usually need on the van.

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 commercial refrigerator to catch wear before it becomes leaking water.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of leaking water in butcheries cold chains.
