CCTV Pipe Inspection in Lanzarote

CCTV pipe and drain inspection across Lanzarote — villas, apartments, commercial premises, and community buildings. We insert a waterproof HD camera into your drainage system and record everything we find, giving you a clear video record of the pipe's condition, exact location of any problems, and a written report with repair recommendations. No excavation required.

• 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

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.

1. 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
2. 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
3. 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
4. 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
5. 5You receive a written report summarising all findings, the recorded video, and our recommendations — suitable for sharing with contractors, insurers, or solicitors

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

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

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 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

If you have sewage backing up into your property, this is a drainage emergency that needs fast response leak detection services. Stop using water at the property to reduce the volume backing up. Do not attempt to rod the drain yourself. Call us for a same day inspection to detect leaks and find the exact blockage point. Our plumbing and leak detection team carries cables, cameras, and all equipment needed to pinpoint leaks and advise on next steps.
