Case Studies Lanzarote: Leaks Found & Fixed

Problem

A four-bedroom villa had seen its water bill double over three months. Visible damp patches appeared on the living room floor, but no obvious pipe runs were accessible.

Solution

Thermal imaging scan identified a temperature anomaly under the concrete slab. Acoustic sensors pinpointed the exact failure point to within 30cm. Excavation was limited to one 40cm × 40cm access hole.

Outcomes

• Leak located in 2 hours
• Single access hole only
• Same-day repair completed
• 2-year warranty issued

Problem

A holiday rental villa's 12-metre pool was losing approximately 15cm of water per day. The owner had already replaced the pump and filter, but the loss continued.

Solution

Pressure testing isolated the return line as the source of loss. Dye testing confirmed a fracture at the wall fitting. An underwater camera located the precise crack without draining the pool.

Outcomes

• Pool stayed filled throughout
• Repair without full drainage
• Return line resealed
• Zero water loss after repair

Problem

A supply pipe serving six apartments burst at 11pm on a Saturday. Water was flowing through ceiling voids and threatening electrical fittings.

Solution

Emergency callout reached site within 55 minutes. The isolation valve was frozen and required cutting before the flow could be stopped. Temporary repair completed to restore supply to five of six apartments overnight.

Outcomes

• On-site within 55 minutes
• Flow stopped within 2 hours
• Residents back online same night
• Permanent fix next morning

Problem

A restaurant was experiencing recurring damp on a ground-floor ceiling despite multiple previous repair attempts by other contractors. The source had been incorrectly attributed to roof waterproofing.

Solution

Tracer gas was introduced to the cold-water circuit. Gas detection equipment tracked the path through the structure, revealing a pinhole leak in a horizontal run buried in the concrete deck above the dining room.

Outcomes

• Source correctly identified (first time)
• Tracer gas,no destructive investigation
• Repair targeted to 20cm section
• 12-month follow-up: zero recurrence
