Deck Oven Steam Tank Replacement Baldivis | PEMS Perth

A commercial deck oven at a busy Baldivis restaurant had become a liability. With all steam tanks leaking and the oven out of service, the kitchen operator faced lost production and growing pressure to get their core equipment back online. A full tank replacement was the only viable path forward.

The Fault

An earlier inspection by PEMS technician R. McGivern confirmed the worst. Every steam tank inside the deck oven (serial number 235112) was leaking. This type of failure in a commercial kitchen deck oven typically develops from mineral buildup, corrosion, and repeated thermal cycling. With no tanks functioning correctly, the oven could not hold or deliver steam, making consistent baking impossible.

The Repair

In April 2026, PEMS technicians David Maxfield and C. Maxfield attended the Baldivis site. After waiting for access, the team removed all protective covers and insulation, then shifted the oven away from the wall to gain full clearance. All faulty tanks were pulled out and replaced with new units. The team also replaced all heating elements, tested the electrics, reassembled the oven, and tested every tank before returning the unit to its original position. The site was left clean and tidy.

The Outcome

All replacement steam tanks tested clear with no faults detected. The deck oven was returned to full working condition, giving the Baldivis commercial kitchen operator a reliable and safe unit ready for daily production demands.
