Expert advice on leak detection, water conservation, and pool maintenance in Lanzarote.
Living in Lanzarote means dealing with unique challenges when it comes to water leaks. The volcanic terrain, salty sea air, and desalinated water supply create conditions that accelerate wear on pipes and plumbing systems. A small hidden water leak can cause serious structural damage, drive up water bills, and lead to costly insurance claims if left undetected. Whether you are a homeowner, holiday villa manager, or commercial property manager, understanding how to detect and prevent water loss can save you thousands in property damage.
In this blog, our expert team shares professional leak detection tips and practical guides on how to find leaks, when to call a leak detection specialist, and how to protect your property from water damage in Lanzarote's unique climate. From swimming pool leaks to underground pipe leaks, we cover the most common leak problems affecting properties across the island.
Leakbusters Lanzarote uses multiple detection methods to pinpoint leaks accurately and with minimal disruption to your property. Our thermal imaging technology and FLIR thermal cameras detect temperature differences behind walls and beneath floors, revealing hidden water leaks without the need to break walls or carry out costly excavation work.
Acoustic sensors allow us to listen for the sound of water escaping through pressurised pipes, even when buried beneath concrete or volcanic ground. For underground pipe leaks, ground penetrating radar and tracer gas technology help us locate underground pipes and find the exact location of the leak. Pressure testing confirms whether a pipe is leaking and to what extent. Each method is specifically designed to deliver accurate results and accurately locate leaks with precision.
Many property owners in Lanzarote only discover a leak problem when their water bill rises or they notice damp patches on walls and ceilings. Water escaping from ageing plumbing systems can cause further damage to foundations and building structure if not addressed quickly. Swimming pool leaks are another common issue: if your pool is losing water, a simple bucket test can confirm whether there is a leak before calling a professional.
Underground pipe leaks are particularly difficult to detect without specialist equipment. Pressurised pipes buried beneath Lanzarote's volcanic rock can develop leaks that waste thousands of litres before anyone notices. Check your water meter regularly: if it shows usage when all taps are off, you likely have a hidden leak that needs immediate attention.
