Leak Repair Lanzarote: Find It, Fix It, Sign It Off
When you have a leak in Lanzarote, you need one company that can handle everything from the initial survey right through to a finished, tested repair. That is exactly what Canary Detect provides. We are the Leaky Finders, Lanzarote's specialist leak detection and repair team, with the combined experience and equipment to locate hidden leaks and fix them properly.
No unnecessary digging. No passing the job between contractors. One survey, one repair, one detailed report.
Why Lanzarote Properties Lose Water
Lanzarote's climate and geology create conditions that wear down pipework faster than most of Europe. Hard, mineral-rich desalinated water corrodes copper and galvanised pipes from the inside. The volcanic bedrock shifts subtly with temperature changes, stressing joints and connections. UV radiation degrades rubber seals and surface plumbing at speed. Tiles, screed and concrete floors trap leaks out of sight for months or years before water bills reveal the problem.
By the time most homeowners in Lanzarote realise there is a leak, significant water has already been lost. A professional leak survey is the quickest and most cost-effective way to confirm what is happening and where.
Our Leak Repair Process
Step 1 - The Leak Survey
Every repair job begins with a thorough leak survey. We assess the property, identify the most likely leak zones, and decide which detection methods to apply. Surveys typically take one to three hours depending on property size. In most cases we can complete the survey and pinpoint the exact leak location in a single visit.
We carry out surveys across all property types in Lanzarote, from private homes through to commercial buildings, community pools, and underground supply lines.
Step 2 - Detection and Confirmation
Once the survey tells us where to look, we apply the right technology to confirm the leak. This may include thermal imaging cameras to spot temperature anomalies under floors and behind walls, acoustic sensors to listen for the sound of water escaping pressurised pipes, tracer gas injection to follow the leak path through hidden pipework, or pressure testing to isolate which section of the system is failing.
We do not guess. We confirm. Every repair we carry out is based on a verified leak location.
Step 3 - Planning the Repair
Before any tools come out, we explain exactly what the repair involves - what will be opened up, what materials we will use, how long the job will take, and what the finished result will look like. Transparent pricing, no hidden extras. Clients have peace of mind before we start.
If tiles need to be lifted, we minimise the area disturbed. If pipes need to be accessed behind a wall, we work precisely so reinstatement is straightforward.
Step 4 - Carrying Out the Repair
Our team fixes all types of leaks found in Lanzarote properties:
Pipe repairs - copper, PVC, polyethylene and galvanised iron pipes, including joints, elbows and compression fittings that have failed over time.
Plumbing repairs - leaking taps, isolating valves, stop taps, shower connections, washing machine feeds and waste connections, and water heater supply lines.
Pool repairs - shell crack injection, skimmer seals, return fittings, underwater pipes and pressure-tested plumbing circuits. See our dedicated pool leak repair page for full details.
Underground pipe repairs - buried supply lines under gardens, driveways and community areas. We only excavate where the leak is confirmed, saving you thousands in unnecessary groundwork.
Tile and screed repairs - where tiles need to be lifted to access pipes beneath a floor, we work carefully to limit the area disturbed. We can advise on reinstatement options once the job is done.
Step 5 - Testing and Sign-Off
Every repair is pressure tested after completion to confirm it works and holds. We do not leave until we are confident the leak has been resolved. Canary Detect provides a detailed written report covering the location of the leak, the repair method used, materials installed, and the post-repair test results.
This report is accepted by insurance companies and is good evidence for claims relating to water damage caused by the leak.
Types of Properties We Work On
Canary Detect carries out surveys and repairs across every kind of property in Lanzarote:
Villas and private homes - both owner-occupied and holiday rental. We work around guest bookings and can arrange early or late appointments where needed.
Apartments and urban properties - including shared supply lines that serve multiple units. We identify whether the leak is within the property or in a communal system.
Community developments and urbanisations - surveys on communal pool circuits, irrigation systems, underground mains feeds, and shared plumbing infrastructure.
Commercial properties - hotels, restaurants, shops and offices. We are happy to work outside opening hours to avoid disruption to your business.
Lanzarote Areas We Cover for Leak Repair
We cover the whole island. Jobs have been completed in:
Puerto del Carmen
The largest resort on the island. High demand for surveys and repairs in both old-build properties and modern complexes.
Playa Blanca
Southern Lanzarote's growing resort, with a mix of private properties and hotel complexes across Rubicón Marina, Papagayo and the wider area.
Costa Teguise
Established resort area with a large number of ageing community developments where surveys are increasingly in demand.
Arrecife and Puerto Calero
The capital and marina area. Older properties with original plumbing often benefit from a check even before a leak becomes obvious.
Tías, Yaiza and Across the Island
No property is too remote. If you can give us an address, we can arrange a survey and repair visit.
What Does Leak Repair Cost in Lanzarote?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the leak, how accessible the pipes are, and the extent of the work required. What we can say clearly:
You only pay if we find the leak. Our No Find, No Fee policy means that if our surveys do not locate your leak, you do not pay for the detection work.
Costs are quoted transparently before any work begins. There are no surprise invoices. Clients regularly tell us they saved thousands compared to what a general builder would have charged, because we know exactly where to dig, cut, or access before the work starts.
Frequently Asked Questions About Leak Repair in Lanzarote
How long does a leak repair take?
Most jobs are completed within a day. Complex underground pipe work or jobs involving significant tile lifting may take two to three days. We give you a realistic timescale before we start.
Do I need a survey before you can carry out a repair?
Yes. Every repair starts with a survey so we can confirm the exact location before anything is opened up. This keeps costs predictable and protects you from unnecessary disruption.
What if the leak is in my pool?
Pool leak detection and repair is one of our core services. We use dye testing, pressure testing and acoustic methods to identify pool leaks, and our team can fix shell cracks, pipe joints, fittings and skimmer seals. Visit our pool leak repair page for details.
Can you provide a report for my insurance claim?
Yes. Every completed repair comes with a detailed written report documenting the leak location, cause, repair method and post-repair test results. This is accepted by most insurance providers and gives you a clear record of the work carried out.
Will tiles be damaged during the repair?
We work to minimise tile disturbance. When tiles do need to be lifted to access pipes beneath, we remove the minimum area necessary and work carefully. We can advise you on matching tiles and reinstatement options. Many Lanzarote properties use standard tile formats that are easy to source locally.
Do you work on villas and apartments?
Yes. Canary Detect works across all property types: villas, apartments, townhouses, commercial properties and community developments. If you are unsure whether the leak is your responsibility or a communal issue, our surveys will confirm the source and ownership of the affected pipework.
