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
In a restaurant, leaking water moves from nuisance to operational risk very quickly. Service-speed cooling where every minute of downtime costs a service. We keep the parts and refrigerant these failures usually need on the van.
Cape Town coverage

Brackenfell sits in our Northern Suburbs coverage area, one of eight Cape Town regions we serve daily. That keeps response predictable and travel time short for a restaurant in Brackenfell.
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 walk-in cooler 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.
