Walk-in Coolers Leaking Water Repair for Supermarkets in Wellington
Leaking Water rarely announces itself gently, and in a supermarket in Wellington the consequences are measured in spoiled stock. Reyds classifies it as urgent, with a typical response of 60–120 min across Cape Town. 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

Diagnosed on site by our technicians

Cracked or misaligned drain pan

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
Downtime in supermarkets is measured in lost trading hours, not just parts. 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
Our Winelands technicians treat Wellington as core coverage rather than an outlying callout. Technicians carry common components and refrigerant, so most Wellington repairs are finished on the first visit.
Prevention
Stop the fault returning
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.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your walk-in cooler to catch wear before it becomes leaking water.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of leaking water in supermarkets cold chains.
