⚠️ The Hidden Problem

Undetected Water Leaks Can Cost Thousands

Water bills arrive every 2 months. That means a hidden water leak can run for 6 to 8 weeks before you know. Over 75% of the leaks we find are hidden underground, with no visible signs at all.

Every day a leak goes undetected, the bill gets bigger.

And it doesn't always stop at your walls — we've seen leaks cross the boundary and soak the neighbour's house too.

Simple Process

How LeakGuard Works

From installation to full peace of mind — five steps.

Step 1

Professional Installation

Our qualified surveyors install a secondary meter with a cloud-connected monitoring device. No WiFi needed. No mains power needed. Hidden away and working from day one.

Step 2

24/7 Cloud Monitoring

The system learns your property's normal water patterns and monitors continuously — watching for leaks, faulty valves, taps left running, and anything that could cost you thousands.

Step 3

Instant Alerts

The moment unusual consumption is detected, you get an alert directly to your phone. You know within hours — not weeks when the bill arrives.

Step 4

Rapid Response

If you're not at the property, we conduct an urgent site visit. If a leak is confirmed, we deploy our full specialist equipment — VLOC PRO3, GPR, thermal imaging, acoustic sensors — to pinpoint it with centimetre accuracy.

Step 5

Expert Repair

Once found, we fix it. Our team can lift tiles, carry out the repair, and restore the area perfectly. Insurance-approved reports in Spanish provided. Repair costs quoted separately.

The real cost

It's not just the water bill.

A leak running underground for two or three weeks in a typical Lanzarote property doesn't stop at the meter. It soaks the concrete floor first. From there, the water finds its way between the concrete and the tiles, and starts to spread out across the house. Eventually it hits the breeze block walls.

Breeze block acts like a sponge. It pulls the water up, badly damaging the wall from the inside. By the time you see it on the surface, the damage is done.

The walls have to be scraped back and left to dry. That can take months. The house sits in an unsightly mess while it dries.

The water bill — bad enough as it is — is the cheapest part of the bill you'll pay if a leak runs unchecked.

LeakGuard catches the leak in 24 hours, not 2 to 3 weeks. Before the concrete gets wet. Before the tiles lift. Before the walls start drinking. Before it ever reaches the property next door.

What water in the wall looks like

If you let your property out

This matters double. Even three weeks of drying time means lost bookings through high season, refunded deposits, and a listing you can't photograph. LeakGuard pays for itself the first time it catches a leak before the bookings have to be cancelled.

And it's not always just your house

Most Lanzarote villas share at least one party wall. We've seen leaks cross the boundary and soak the neighbour's internal walls before anyone knew anything was wrong. That's an insurance claim against you, a difficult conversation, and a relationship that takes years to repair.

"For six years, one local company has been on a mission to change that. Canary Detect, known locally as The Leaky Finders, are transforming leak detection on Lanzarote."

The March 2026 advertorial introduced Gazette Life readers to LeakGuard — the cloud-connected system that catches leaks within 24 hours instead of the 6–8 weeks a hidden leak typically goes undetected on the island.

"The 24/7 live data is so precise that we can see the rhythm of a home: the morning showers, the garden's nightly watering schedule, even the exact day the swimming pool is topped up."
