Leaking Water in a freezer room is one of the most disruptive faults a supermarket in Wellington can face. Because it is urgent, our Winelands technicians prioritise it, usually inside 60–120 min. We arrive with the instruments and common parts this fault needs, fix the cause and verify the cabinet holds.

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
Supermarkets
Supermarkets cannot absorb a long outage. High-footfall retail refrigeration protecting perishable turnover. We keep the parts and refrigerant these failures usually need on the van.
Cape Town coverage
Wellington · Winelands
Wellington sits in our Winelands coverage area, one of eight Cape Town regions we serve daily. Vans are stocked for the faults we meet most often in Wellington, so a repair rarely waits on parts.
Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of leaking water in supermarkets cold chains.
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 freezer room under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
