Leak detection and repair in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote. Thermal imaging, CCTV inspection and 24/7 emergency response. Fast service with free quotes.
Puerto del Carmen is the biggest resort town on Lanzarote and the area Leakbusters Lanzarote covers most often. Thousands of properties — Old Town apartments above the harbour, complexes along Avenida de las Playas, villas on the hill behind Matagorda, holiday rentals on every street. Leaks here cost real money fast. A villa with a slow pool leak loses a week of bookings while we trace it. An apartment block with a hidden riser drip floods the unit below within days. We work Puerto del Carmen daily, with a 30-45 minute response anywhere from the Old Town to the new builds out by Biosfera.
Puerto del Carmen runs along about 6 km of coast on the south-east side of Lanzarote. The Old Town around the harbour has the oldest properties — 40 to 50 years old, original Canarian builds with plumbing that's been patched more than once. The strip along Avenida de las Playas is mostly 80s-built hotels and apartment complexes; that's where the leak detection load is heaviest. Los Pocillos and the area up by the Biosfera shopping centre are newer but villas there still throw up pool and irrigation leaks. We cross into Tías municipality on the inland side and pick up most residential calls in that direction.
We've worked every street in Puerto del Carmen. Old Town apartments still on the original 1970s copper risers — pinhole leaks behind tile, every time. Avenida de las Playas blocks on first-generation polyethylene supply lines that fail at the joint under the slab. Matagorda villas with infinity pool overflow systems that leak slowly into the volcanic gravel under the deck. Each pattern has its own detection approach. Acoustic correlation for the supply lines, dye and pressure tests for the pools, thermal for slab leaks. Bilingual on every call.
Puerto del Carmen barely rains, so any damp patch in a property is almost certainly a leak rather than weather. The salt air is the real killer — copper fittings and stopcocks closer to the coast degrade much faster than inland. Summer heat regularly tops 30°C and that causes joint stress on long supply runs over time. Pool owners here lose 10-15 mm a week to evaporation in summer alone, which makes a genuine pool leak hard to spot without a proper bucket test. We factor all of that in before quoting any leak detection survey.
We offer a complete range of leak detection and plumbing services in Puerto del Carmen:
Hidden water leaks are common in Puerto del Carmen's older apartment buildings and holiday villas. Salt air corrosion accelerates pipe degradation near the coast. We've helped hundreds of vacation rental owners protect their properties.
With hundreds of private pools across Puerto del Carmen, pool leak detection is in high demand. Holiday villas often experience increased wear from guest usage. We distinguish genuine leaks from Lanzarote's high evaporation rates.
Villa developments around Puerto del Carmen often have complex underground pipe networks serving pools, irrigation, and multiple buildings. Our GPR technology locates utilities before excavation.

The Old Town and 1980s-era developments in Puerto del Carmen have aging infrastructure that benefits from CCTV inspection. We survey pipes in apartment complexes and commercial properties along Avenida de las Playas.

Puerto del Carmen is the busiest patch on the island for leak detection work. Most of our calls come from holiday rentals where a hidden pipe leak has turned into cancelled bookings and a horrible water bill. We see a lot of pinhole leaks in copper supply lines that have been sitting two minutes from the sea for thirty-odd years — the salt air does for them eventually. Pre-season surveys catch this stuff before guests arrive. Leakbusters Lanzarote works with most of the bigger letting agencies here and runs priority callouts for apartment community administrators.
“Our villa had a mystery leak that two other plumbers couldn't find. Leakbusters used their thermal camera and found it in the wall within an hour. Saved us from having to dig up the entire garden. Highly recommend for anyone in Puerto del Carmen.”

We typically respond to emergencies in Puerto del Carmen within 30-45 minutes. As the island's largest tourist resort, we prioritise quick response times here. For non-urgent appointments, we usually offer same-day or next-day availability.
Yes, we work with many property management companies in Puerto del Carmen. We understand the urgency of resolving leaks quickly to minimise disruption to guests and avoid negative reviews. We offer priority service agreements for management companies with multiple properties.
Absolutely. Pool leak detection is one of our specialities, and Puerto del Carmen has hundreds of private villa pools. We use pressure testing, dye testing, and acoustic equipment to locate leaks in pool shells, plumbing, and equipment. Given Lanzarote's high evaporation rates, we first help you determine if you have a genuine leak or just normal water loss.
The most common issues we see are: pool leaks in rental villas, underground pipe leaks caused by salt corrosion in older properties, bathroom leaks in apartment complexes (particularly around shower trays and toilets), and hot water system leaks. The combination of aging infrastructure and salt air corrosion means regular detection can prevent expensive emergencies.
Yes, every detection service includes a comprehensive written report detailing our findings, the location of any leaks discovered, and recommendations for repair. This is particularly important for rental property owners who may not be on the island and need documentation for insurance or contractor coordination.
