A hidden water leak can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare. The first sign of trouble is a shockingly high water bill, by which point hundreds or even thousands of euros have already been wasted. 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.
Canary Detect are taking prevention to the next level with the deployment of their brand new LeakGuard system. A cloud-connected device that provides 24/7 surveillance of your water usage.
Instead of waiting for a surprise water bill, LeakGuard alerts the user at the first sign of trouble, allowing homeowners to catch leaks within 24 hours. It is the ultimate proactive protection against wasted water and costly damage.
The survey team is led by Pete and Dave, two industry veterans with exceptional credentials. Pete brings 28 years of experience in underground utility surveying and is the owner of the biggest training academy in the UK. Dave, a highly qualified water engineer, has owned the MVP Group and Lanzarote Pool and Spa Shop for the last 20 years.
Together with their nine-strong team, including fully qualified and time-served plumbers, they have built a reputation for accuracy and professionalism.
While many competitors rely on a single method, Canary Detect have invested in an arsenal of specialist equipment, including thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, and tracer gas technology. With this equipment they can pinpoint the source with centimetre accuracy, minimising costly excavation work, saving homeowners time, money, and mess.
The team can lift tiles, repair any leak, and restore the area so perfectly that it looks as if no one was ever there. This commitment to a flawless finish, combined with their detailed, insurance-approved reports in Spanish, has made them a trusted partner for numerous insurance companies on the island.
The Free Leak Confirmation Test
In 2024, Canary Detect introduced a free leak confirmation test to further their commitment to customer service. This service is designed for homeowners who suspect a leak but are not yet certain. Instead of committing to a full survey, customers can have their system assessed by a professional at no cost.
This initiative addresses a common problem: customers paying for a full survey only to discover there was no leak. This approach ensures that the company’s resources are focused on genuine leaks, creating a win-win situation for both the company and the customer. With their advanced technology, veteran expertise, and customer-first initiatives, Canary Detect are providing Lanzarote homeowners with peace of mind and true long-term protection against the island’s hidden water costs.
