Walk-in Freezers Leaking Water Repair for Restaurants in Simon's Town
A restaurant in Simon's Town running with leaking water is on borrowed time — every hour of delay costs product and money. Because it is urgent, our South Peninsula technicians prioritise it, usually inside 60–120 min. We isolate the fault, correct it with matched parts and confirm the unit holds temperature under normal load.

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.

Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the walk-in freezer 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 freezer to catch wear before it becomes leaking water.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of leaking water in restaurants cold chains.
