Our Reviews
No more mystery water bills that make you wince. No more wondering if that damp spot on your ceiling is getting worse while you sleep. No more worrying about mold growing behind your walls where you can’t see it.
When we locate your hidden leak, you get your peace of mind back. Your water bill drops to normal. Your home stays structurally sound. You sleep better knowing your biggest investment isn’t slowly rotting from the inside out.
The difference between a $200 leak repair and a $15,000 water damage restoration? Catching it early. That’s exactly what our advanced leak detection does for McKinley Park homeowners every day.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving plumbing problems for Chicago homeowners who need real solutions, not run-around. We’re locally owned, which means we understand how Chicago’s brutal winters and aging infrastructure create the perfect storm for hidden leaks.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because that’s what professionals do. But more importantly, we show up when we say we will, give you straight answers about what’s wrong, and fix it right the first time.
McKinley Park homes face unique challenges with older pipe systems and harsh weather cycles. We’ve seen it all, fixed it all, and we know exactly what to look for when water starts showing up where it shouldn’t.
First, we listen. Not just to you, but to your pipes. Our acoustic equipment picks up sounds your ears can’t hear – the subtle dripping and flowing that pinpoints exactly where water is escaping.
Next, we use thermal imaging and infrared technology to see through your walls and floors. No guessing, no tearing holes in random spots hoping to get lucky. We know exactly where the problem is before we make a single cut.
Then we access the leak with surgical precision. We make the smallest opening necessary to reach the problem, fix it properly, and test everything to make sure it’s actually solved. You get a real repair, not a temporary patch that fails next month.

You get the full investigation: acoustic detection, thermal imaging, pressure testing, and video inspection when needed. We don’t stop at finding one leak – we check the entire system to catch problems before they become emergencies.
McKinley Park’s older homes often have multiple issues hiding in the same area. Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on the pipe systems common in this neighborhood. We know which materials fail first and where to look for the secondary problems that other companies miss.
Every service includes upfront pricing, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. No surprise charges, no hidden fees, no “we found something else” upsells. Just honest work at a fair price, backed by our guarantee.
Most leak detection services in McKinley Park range from $200 to $500, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the plumbing system. The investment pays for itself quickly – homeowners typically save over $1,000 annually by catching leaks early instead of dealing with major water damage later.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. No surprise charges or hidden fees. The cost of detection is usually a fraction of what you’d spend on water damage repairs, mold remediation, or sky-high utility bills from an undetected leak.
Watch for water bills that suddenly jump 10% or higher without increased usage. Look for water stains, discolored patches on walls or ceilings, or musty odors that suggest hidden moisture. You might hear water running when all fixtures are turned off, or notice soft spots in floors and walls.
In McKinley Park’s older homes, pay attention to unexplained damp areas, especially near exterior walls where Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles cause the most pipe damage. Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours of a leak, so don’t wait if you smell that distinctive musty odor. Early detection prevents minor problems from becoming major disasters.
Yes, our thermal imaging and acoustic detection equipment locates leaks behind walls without any demolition. We use infrared technology to see temperature differences that reveal water movement, plus sensitive listening devices that detect the sound of water escaping pipes.
This non-destructive approach saves you hundreds or thousands in unnecessary wall repairs. We only cut into walls when we’ve pinpointed the exact location of the problem. No guesswork, no exploratory holes, no unnecessary damage to your home. You get precise repairs with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Most leak detection takes 1-3 hours, depending on your home’s size and plumbing complexity. Simple leaks in accessible areas can be located in under an hour. More complex situations involving multiple floors or extensive pipe networks might take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront.
