Leaking Water in a freezer room is one of the most disruptive faults a warehouse in Observatory can face. As a urgent fault it is dispatched ahead of routine work, typically within 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
Warehouses
Warehouses cannot absorb a long outage. Distribution cold storage holding palletised perishable stock. We keep the parts and refrigerant these failures usually need on the van.
Cape Town coverage
Observatory · City Bowl
Our City Bowl technicians treat Observatory as core coverage rather than an outlying callout. Technicians carry common components and refrigerant, so most Observatory repairs are finished on the first visit.
Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your freezer room to catch wear before it becomes leaking water.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of leaking water in warehouses 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.
