LeakGuard AI · Water-leak monitoring for Lanzarote
Two ways it pays for itself
Catch the leaks. Stop the waste.
LeakGuard AI does two jobs on every property — and one trained AI, Aunt Polly, does both.
Prong one — catch the leak
Before it costs you a fortune.
A hidden leak on Lanzarote doesn't just run up the water bill — it soaks concrete, lifts tiles and rots breeze-block walls for months. LeakGuard AI alerts you within 24 hours of a leak starting, not when the bill lands 6–8 weeks later. One caught leak pays for years of cover.
- Leak, no-flow, battery and connection alerts
- By phone, email and WhatsApp
- The Leaky Finders locate and repair
Prong two — stop the waste
Save the water you're quietly losing.
A passing toilet runs all night. A dripping tap, a stuck aljibe, a pool topping itself up. On an island that manufactures every litre, that waste is money down the drain — every single day. Aunt Polly shows you exactly where your water goes, so you can stop paying for water you never use.
- See your pool, garden and irrigation live
- Spot the silent overnight waste
- Cut the bill, and the litres
One AI does both. Aunt Polly reads your home's meter down to the fifteen minutes — she tells a burst leak from a pool top-up, and a silent running toilet from your morning shower. Leaks and waste, the same watchful eye.

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 spreads 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, with the house sitting in an unsightly mess while it does.
The water bill — bad enough as it is — is the cheapest part of the bill you'll pay if a leak runs unchecked.
LeakGuard AI catches the leak in 24 hours, not 2–3 weeks. Before the concrete gets wet. Before the tiles lift. Before the walls start drinking. Before it ever reaches the property next door.
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 AI 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.
Water saving
“Lanzarote doesn't collect its water. It manufactures it. Every litre wasted here had to be made first.”
No rivers, no lakes, no aquifers. Every drop is born in the Atlantic and dragged through a desalination plant at enormous cost. So on Lanzarote, waste isn't an annoyance — it's money, and energy, poured away. Cut the waste and you cut the bill.
The quiet waste Aunt Polly spots.
A passing toilet
Runs silently all night — a small industrial product poured straight down the drain while everyone's asleep.
A dripping tap
Barely noticeable, but it adds up litre by litre, every hour of every day.
A pool cleaner's hose
Left running long after the van's gone — we've caught it more than once.
A faulty aljibe
Filling when it has no business filling. Last week's culprit, spotted overnight.
A water meter can't lie — and neither can anyone who touches one. Aunt Polly reads yours every fifteen minutes, so the slow, silent waste shows up as clearly as a burst.

Your water, in the clear
See exactly where every litre goes.
Aunt Polly reads your meter every fifteen minutes and turns it into a dashboard you can actually use — live usage, overnight leaks, and the moment anything looks wrong.

Real catches
Leaks we caught before the bill did.
Every one of these was on a property with no visible symptoms — spotted by the device at the meter, then located and fixed by The Leaky Finders.
Hidden pipe leak
Detected on the very first alert — before any visible damage.
Running tap
A dripping tap caught overnight, saving hundreds of litres.
Self-filling tank fault
An overflow valve stuck open for days — found in hours.
Pool cleaner's hose left on
Caught a contractor error that would have run all week.
Property types
Built for every property on the island.
Villas
A slow drip under a terrace can run for weeks. LeakGuard AI catches it overnight — even when you're off the island.

Guests won't report a hidden leak. We monitor between bookings and alert your manager the moment usage looks wrong.
Commercial
Restaurants, hotels and businesses face big water costs. Continuous monitoring keeps consumption in check.
