Water Leak Detection Lanzarote - The Leaky Finders

Welcome to The Leaky Finders—Lanzarote's specialist water leak detection company. We use advanced technology to locate hidden leaks in pools, villas, apartments, and underground pipes across the island. Whether you're dealing with an unexplained high water bill, a mysterious damp patch, or your pool is losing water faster than evaporation accounts for, we find the source quickly and accurately—without unnecessary excavation or damage to your property.

Why Choose The Leaky Finders?

Finding a water leak isn't always straightforward. Water travels—it can emerge in a completely different location from where the actual leak is. That's why guesswork and exploratory digging often fail and end up costing you more in the long run.

We take a different approach. Using professional-grade equipment including thermal imaging cameras, acoustic listening devices, tracer gas detection systems, and pressure testing equipment, we can pinpoint the exact location of your leak before any repair work begins. This means targeted repairs, minimal disruption, and no paying to dig up areas that aren't even the problem.

Our Leak Detection Services

Swimming Pool Leak Detection

Pools in Lanzarote naturally lose water to evaporation—typically around 5-6mm per day in the warmer months. But if your pool is losing more than this, you likely have a leak. We use dye testing, pressure testing, and acoustic equipment to find leaks in pool shells, pipework, skimmers, return jets, and light fittings. Our methods work on all pool types including concrete, fibreglass, and liner pools. Learn more about our pool leak detection service.

Villa & Property Leak Detection

Hidden pipe leaks inside your villa can cause significant damage before you even notice there's a problem. Signs include unexplained damp patches, warm spots on floors (indicating hot water pipe leaks), the sound of running water when everything is turned off, or a water meter that keeps spinning. We use thermal imaging and acoustic detection to locate leaks inside walls, under floors, and in buried pipes around your property.

Underground Pipe Leak Detection

Lanzarote's volcanic soil and rocky terrain make underground leaks particularly challenging. Many properties have extensive buried pipe networks supplying water to gardens, pools, and outdoor areas—read more about the unique water systems in Lanzarote. When these develop leaks, the water often soaks away without any visible sign at the surface. We use tracer gas technology—a safe hydrogen/nitrogen mix that escapes through the leak point and rises to the surface where we detect it—to pinpoint underground leaks without destructive digging.

Areas We Serve Across Lanzarote

Our Equipment & Technology

We've invested over €80,000 in professional leak detection equipment—the same technology used by leading specialists in the UK and Europe. This includes:

• Thermal Imaging Cameras—detect temperature differences caused by moisture, revealing hidden leaks behind walls and under floors without any damage.
• Acoustic Listening Devices—pick up the sound of water escaping from pressurised pipes, even when buried underground.
• Tracer Gas Detection—a safe, non-toxic gas is introduced into the pipe system and detected at the leak point using sensitive sensors.
• Pipe Locating Equipment—helps us map your pipe network so we know exactly where to look.
• Pressure Testing Equipment—isolates pipe sections to confirm which one is leaking.
