Leaking Water in a commercial refrigerator is one of the most disruptive faults a commercial kitchen in Goodwood can face. Our Northern Suburbs team treats leaking water as urgent and responds in around 60–120 min. We isolate the fault, correct it with matched parts and confirm the unit holds temperature under normal load.
Symptoms
What you may be observing
Water pooling under or around the unit
Ice melting and running off the evaporator
Wet floors creating a slip hazard in the workspace
Visible dripping from the cabinet base
Possible Causes
Diagnosed on site by our technicians
- C01
Blocked or frozen defrost drain line
- C02
Cracked or misaligned drain pan
- C03
Clogged condensate routing from debris build-up
- C04
Defrost cycle overflowing the drain capacity
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
Commercial Kitchens
Commercial Kitchens cannot absorb a long outage. Centralised production kitchens running continuous cold loads. We plan the fix to end the risk, not just the symptom.

Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Monitor cabinet temperatures daily and log deviations so leaking water is flagged before stock is lost.
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 commercial refrigerator 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.
