Aircon units in Durban CBD show up with aircon leaking water more often than most owners expect. Older commercial buildings, roof-level plant and tight access windows around trading hours. Reyds technicians work through the likely causes in order rather than guessing, so you pay for a repair instead of a replacement part that was never faulty.
On a aircon leaking water call in Durban CBD we check blocked condensate drain, cracked or misaligned drip tray, ice build-up melting off the coil before we quote anything. If the fault is a refrigerant leak we find and fix the leak first; topping up gas without repairing the cause is money thrown away.
Inland humidity around Durban CBD still loads filters and drains quickly, so drainage and airflow get checked on every visit. Call 084 690 1545, WhatsApp us a photo of the unit and its data plate, or send through a quote request and we will come back to you with a realistic scope and price.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my aircon leaking water in Durban CBD?
The usual causes are blocked condensate drain, cracked or misaligned drip tray, ice build-up melting off the coil, indoor unit installed out of level. A technician needs to measure pressures, amp draw and the temperature split to confirm which one applies to your unit.
Can I keep running the unit until you arrive?
No. Switch the unit off at the isolator. Running a unit with this fault risks compressor or electrical damage that turns an affordable repair into a replacement.
