Why Choose Leakbusters Lanzarote? | Top Rated

A general plumber might spend hours searching for a leak using trial-and-error methods. Our team typically locates the problem within 60-90 minutes using non-invasive technology, often saving property owners thousands in unnecessary exploratory demolition.

No Find, No Fee Guarantee

We stand behind our skills with a guarantee that no general plumber offers: if we can't find your leak, you don't pay. This isn't a marketing gimmick — it's a reflection of our confidence in our equipment and expertise. In practice, our detection success rate exceeds 95%, but the guarantee gives you complete peace of mind when you call.

The Technology That Sets Us Apart

Professional leak detection in Lanzarote requires more than good ears and a moisture meter. Leakbusters Lanzarote invests in industry-leading equipment that delivers results:

FLIR E8-XT Pro Thermal Imaging Camera

Our primary thermal camera can detect temperature differences as small as 0.05°C through walls, floors, and ceilings. This means we can see where water is travelling behind surfaces without making a single hole. In Lanzarote's thick volcanic stone construction, this is invaluable — traditional methods would require breaking through walls that are expensive and difficult to repair.

How it helps you: We can scan your entire property in under 30 minutes, creating a thermal map that shows exactly where moisture is present and where water is flowing.

SEWERIN Aquaphon A200 Acoustic Detector

This professional-grade acoustic listening system can detect the sound of water escaping from pipes at depths of up to 3 metres through soil, concrete, and volcanic rock. The digital filtering technology separates leak sounds from background noise — essential in busy areas like Arrecife or along the Avenida de las Playas in Puerto del Carmen.

How it helps you: We can trace pipe runs underground and pinpoint the exact leak location to within 10cm, meaning minimal excavation when it comes to repair.

Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR)

For complex underground leak scenarios, we deploy GPR technology that creates a subsurface map showing pipe locations, voids created by water erosion, and areas of saturated soil. This is particularly useful in Playa Blanca villa developments where underground pipe networks are extensive.

How it helps you: We can map your entire underground pipe network without digging, identifying not just current leaks but potential future failure points.

Endoscopic CCTV Inspection Cameras

Our miniature inspection cameras can navigate through pipes as small as 25mm diameter, providing live video of pipe interiors. We use these to inspect drainage systems, identify root intrusion, locate pipe fractures, and assess the overall condition of plumbing systems.

Tracer Gas Detection

For the most difficult leaks — those that defy acoustic and thermal detection — we use hydrogen/nitrogen tracer gas. This safe, non-toxic gas is lighter than air and will find its way through the smallest crack or gap, emerging at the surface where our sensors detect it. This method has a near-100% detection rate.

Island-Wide Coverage with Local Response Times

Leakbusters Lanzarote covers every town and village on the island. Our response times are consistently among the fastest on Lanzarote:

For genuine emergencies — burst pipes, flooding, or water near electrical systems — we prioritise calls and can often beat these times. Our 24/7 emergency service means you're never left waiting when it matters most.

Real Case Studies from Lanzarote Properties

Case Study 1: Puerto del Carmen Holiday Villa — Pool Leak

The Problem: A property management company noticed one of their rental villas was losing pool water faster than evaporation could explain. Two general plumbers had already inspected the pool and found nothing.

Our Approach: We performed a pressure decay test on all pool pipework, isolating each line individually. We then used dye injection at suspect fittings and acoustic listening along underground pipe runs.

The Result: We identified two separate issues — a hairline crack in the pool shell near a return jet fitting, and a weeping joint in the underground pipe between the pump room and the pool. Total detection time: 2.5 hours. The client saved an estimated €4,000 in unnecessary pool resurfacing that had been recommended by the previous plumber.

Case Study 2: Arrecife Apartment Block — Mystery Damp

The Problem: A comunidad of 18 apartments had persistent damp appearing in the underground car park. The water seemed to appear from different locations on different days, making it impossible to identify the source.

Our Approach: Using our acoustic correlation equipment, we mapped the entire underground pipe network. We then used thermal imaging in apartments on the upper floors to trace water movement through pipe ducts.

The Result: The leak originated from a corroded joint in a shared hot water pipe on the third floor. The water was running down inside the wall cavity and following different paths depending on pressure and flow. Detection time: 4 hours. The repair cost was under €500, compared to the €12,000 quote the comunidad had received for exploratory demolition work.

Case Study 3: Playa Blanca Luxury Villa — Underground Supply Leak

The Problem: A villa owner's water bill had tripled over three quarters. The property had a large garden with automatic irrigation and a heated infinity pool, making it difficult to identify where the extra consumption was occurring.

Our Approach: We systematically isolated and pressure tested each water circuit: pool system, irrigation zones, hot water circuit, and cold water supply. We then deployed acoustic detection equipment along all underground pipe runs.

The Result: We found a failed joint in the cold water supply line where it passed through a concrete channel beneath the driveway. Root growth from a nearby palm tree had displaced the pipe, creating a slow but constant leak of approximately 400 litres per day. The repair was completed the same week, and the owner's next bill returned to normal.
