CCTV Pipe Inspection in Lanzarote - Lanzarote

Most drainage and plumbing problems in Lanzarote cannot be diagnosed properly without a camera. Recurring blockages, unexplained slow drainage, and moisture near drainage routes all require internal inspection to find the real cause. CCTV pipe inspection works alongside acoustic detection to pinpoint structural faults and hidden damage without extensive digging. Where visual inspection alone is insufficient, we apply pressure testing to confirm whether a pipe section is holding or losing pressure, and dye testing to visually confirm the exact point where water is entering or escaping. Our team inserts a waterproof HD camera into your drainage system and watches in real time, so the correct repair is targeted precisely the first time.

Signs You Need This Service

Drains that block repeatedly even after clearing — if the same drain blocks every few weeks, there is almost certainly a structural issue that clearing alone will never fix
Slow drainage from sinks, baths, showers, or toilets that gets progressively worse over months, pointing to a partial obstruction or pipe deformation building up
Sewage or drain smells that come and go, especially when water is run elsewhere in the property, which can indicate a failing connection or partial blockage trapping waste
You are buying a property and want to know the actual condition of the drainage before committing to the purchase — drain problems are rarely visible at viewings
Damp patches, staining, or localised subsidence on ground near your drainage route, which can indicate a pipe leaking or collapsed underground

Our Process

CCTV pipe inspection reveals what is actually happening inside your drainage system — not just blockages, but root intrusion, joint failures, pipe deformation, and hidden damage that will worsen over time. Combined with acoustic detection for supply pipe faults and pressure testing to confirm which circuits are sound, this gives you a factual, evidence-based picture of your entire plumbing situation with minimal disruption and no unnecessary digging.

1The camera is inserted and pushed through the pipe while we watch the live feed on our monitor above ground, noting pipe material, condition, diameter, and any defects as we go
2Everything is recorded in full — the entire run from access point to the end of the inspectable section, including any junctions, connections, and areas of concern
3When we find a problem area, we use a sonde transmitter inside the pipe to locate the exact position on the surface above, so the issue can be marked for targeted repair or further investigation
4We review the footage with you on site if you are present, explaining exactly what we found, where each issue is located, and what repair approach we recommend
5You receive a written report summarising all findings, the recorded video, and our recommendations — suitable for sharing with contractors, insurers, or solicitors

Benefits

The main benefit of professional CCTV pipe inspection is certainty and complete peace of mind. Property managers and property owners across Lanzarote rely on our non invasive leak detection to find leaks without unnecessary disruption. Without a professional leak detection survey you are guessing what is wrong. With our inspection you have the facts, and the right repair can be done once, correctly.

You know exactly what is wrong and where — no more spending money clearing a blockage that will return because the underlying structural defect was never found
Targeted repair means minimal excavation — when we know the exact location and nature of the problem, the repair opening is as small as possible
Pre-purchase inspections can reveal drainage defects that are completely invisible at a property viewing, potentially saving tens of thousands in unexpected repair bills
A clear inspection report gives you the information to get accurate repair quotes from contractors — they can price the specific job rather than guess
Problems found early, such as minor root intrusion or a starting crack, are far cheaper to fix than the same issues left until they cause a full collapse or serious leak

Technology We Use

Our main technologies for pipe inspection in Lanzarote include CCTV cameras, thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, tracer gas detection, and ground penetrating radar. We combine these expert leak detection methods to pinpoint leaks in any pipe material across the Canary Islands. Lanzarote properties vary widely by age, from clay and cast iron pipes to uPVC. Many have no drainage plans at all, meaning our inspection may be the first time anyone has known where a drain runs on that site. Our reliable equipment detects hidden leaks that other services miss.

High-definition push-rod CCTV cameras covering pipe diameters from 50mm to 225mm — the range that covers virtually all residential and small commercial drainage in Lanzarote
Self-propelled crawler camera for larger diameter pipes (225mm+), commercial drains, and sewer mains where a push rod cannot reach
Integrated sonde transmitter for accurate above-ground location of specific pipe sections and defects
Pressure testing equipment to isolate individual pipe circuits and confirm whether each section is sound or losing pressure
Dye testing kits for visual confirmation of leak entry and exit points at joints, fittings, and crack locations
Digital recording equipment capturing full-resolution video on site for immediate review and delivery

Why Choose Our Service?

Getting a professional leak detection and CCTV drain survey done properly matters. A cheap inspection can miss hidden leaks, water leaks behind walls, and pipe deformation that experienced leak detection services would find. Leakbusters Lanzarote uses professional-grade equipment with fast response times, attends every job personally, and produces a detailed report. Our experienced team provides reliable, professional service across Lanzarote. Here is what we offer:

HD camera equipment that produces clear, usable footage even in partially submerged or grease-coated pipes — not all cameras handle Lanzarote's typical conditions equally
Every inspection comes with a full video recording delivered to you digitally — you can share it with contractors, insurers, or solicitors without going back to us
Written report summarising every defect found, its location, its severity, and what we recommend — not just a verbal summary at the door
Sonde locator for accurate above-ground position of specific defects, so repair excavations can be targeted and small rather than exploratory
Pre-purchase inspections available — if your solicitor or agent recommends a drain survey before completing on a Lanzarote property, we can usually attend at short notice

Common Lanzarote Issues

Common pipe problems and water leaks in Lanzarote tend to follow recognisable patterns depending on the age and location of a property. Water loss, corrosion, and pressure issues are detected frequently across the Canary Islands. These are the most common defects our leak detection services find when we inspect drains here:

Root intrusion is extremely common in Lanzarote despite the dry climate — plant roots travel remarkable distances to reach moisture inside pipes, and once inside a small crack they expand rapidly and cause structural collapse if left
Limescale and mineral deposits from the desalinated water supply build up on pipe walls over time, progressively narrowing the bore until flow is severely restricted and the pipe eventually becomes unpassable
Pipe belly or sag — sections of older drain that have settled or dropped out of level, creating a low point where solids collect and water pools; this is a structural issue that cannot be fixed by clearing alone
Collapsed or displaced pipe joints, particularly in older clay or pitch fibre drainage that was common in Lanzarote properties built before the 1980s and is now at or past its design life
Substandard repair joints where previous work has been done without proper fittings, leaving gaps or misalignments that allow root entry or cause partial collapse

Frequently Asked Questions

›Why should I get my drains inspected?

CCTV inspection reveals problems before they become emergencies. It's recommended when buying a property, if you have recurring drainage issues, before building extensions, or if your drains are over 20 years old. Early detection of issues like root intrusion or pipe degradation can save thousands in emergency repairs.

›What can you see with a drain camera?

Our cameras show the internal condition of pipes clearly, including cracks, breaks, root intrusion, scale buildup, blockages, incorrect connections, and structural issues. The high-resolution video is recorded so you can see exactly what we find.

›Do I get a copy of the inspection video?

Yes, every inspection includes a full video recording provided digitally. This is useful for your records, for showing to contractors if repairs are needed, or for insurance claims.

›What if you find a problem during inspection?

Our report will detail exactly what was found, where it is located (we can mark the surface location), and what repair options are available. We can provide quotes for repairs we can perform, or recommend specialist contractors for major work.
