I have a 30 year old custom made walk-in freezer (40ft X 24ftX12ft) in a warehouse and I am currently having water leaking into the box from all around the ceiling
Here is some background information:
The freezer is built as follows-The freezer was built inside an old stock room where the outer wall is made of cement blocks, the middle section is insulated and the inner wall made of plywood and finished with galvanized sheets. On the top-outside of the box, made of plywood, (not cement), there appears to be condensation due to the fact that lots of heat is released from equipment surrounding the box (i. the compressor unit of the freezer), which causes water particles to condense in the summer and enter through the ceiling of the box, accumulate in the inner walls and leak into the freezer.
Do you think we need to remove the insulation to resolve this problem? What are your recommendations?
I can provide you further clarification upon request.
Your help is well appreciated.
