Our Reviews
You wake up to a normal Tuesday morning, but your water bill isn’t normal at all. Hidden leaks don’t announce themselves with dramatic floods—they whisper through your walls, slowly destroying your Indian Hill home while you sleep.
That’s exactly why early leak detection matters. We find the problem before it finds your foundation, your flooring, or your bank account. No more wondering if that damp spot is serious. No more watching your water bills climb for no reason. Just clear answers and targeted solutions that protect what you’ve built.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving the Chicagoland area with reliable plumbing solutions, understanding exactly what Indian Hill homeowners face. We know how Illinois winters affect your pipes and how the area’s established homes require careful, precise work.
Our licensed, bonded, and insured team brings professional-grade thermal imaging cameras and acoustic detection equipment to every job. We’ve built our reputation on transparent pricing, 24/7 emergency service, and getting it right the first time. When your Indian Hill neighbors need leak detection, they call us because we understand their properties and deliver results without the runaround.
First, we inspect your property with advanced thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature variations caused by moisture. These aren’t basic tools—our equipment captures even minor temperature differences that reveal hidden leaks behind walls or under floors.
Next, we use acoustic sensors to listen for the distinct sounds of water escaping from pressurized pipes. Different leak sizes create different frequency patterns, and our trained technicians know exactly what to listen for. We combine both methods because some leaks show up better on thermal while others are easier to hear.
Finally, we pinpoint the exact location and explain what we found in plain language. You’ll see the thermal images, understand the extent of the problem, and know exactly what needs to be fixed before we touch anything.

Our leak detection service covers everything from small drips to major underground leaks. We detect problems in walls, under concrete slabs, in underground water lines, and within your home’s plumbing system using non-invasive methods that won’t damage your property.
Indian Hill’s mix of established homes means we often work with older plumbing systems where traditional “dig and guess” methods would be costly and destructive. Our thermal imaging works especially well on the Colonial and bi-level homes common in your area, where leaks often hide in finished basements or behind finished walls.
Every detection service includes a detailed report with thermal images, moisture readings, and clear explanations of what we found. We mark problem areas precisely so repairs can be targeted and efficient, saving you time and money while protecting your home’s value.
Thermal imaging is highly accurate for detecting leaks, especially in the types of homes common in Indian Hill. Our professional-grade cameras detect temperature differences as small as 0.06°C, which means we can spot moisture buildup from even small leaks before they cause visible damage.
The technology works by identifying temperature variations caused by water changing the thermal properties of surrounding materials. Hot water leaks show up as warmer spots, while cold water leaks appear cooler than the surrounding area. When combined with our acoustic detection equipment, we achieve over 95% accuracy in pinpointing leak locations without any invasive procedures.
Yes, we can locate underground water leaks using a combination of acoustic detection and thermal imaging technology. Our acoustic sensors pick up the sound of water escaping from pressurized underground pipes, while thermal imaging can sometimes detect temperature changes at ground level caused by underground leaks.
For deeper underground leaks, we use specialized acoustic equipment that can detect leaks up to several feet below ground. The sound of escaping water travels through soil and pipe materials, creating distinct acoustic signatures that our trained technicians can interpret. This non-invasive approach saves you from unnecessary excavation and helps us target repair work precisely.
Most residential leak detection services in Indian Hill take 1-3 hours, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the suspected leak. We start with a visual inspection and discussion of any symptoms you’ve noticed, then systematically scan areas using our thermal imaging and acoustic equipment.
Simple wall leaks might be located within 30 minutes, while comprehensive whole-house inspections for mysterious water bill increases can take longer. We work efficiently but thoroughly because rushing leak detection often means missing problems. Once we locate the issue, we’ll explain our findings and provide repair recommendations on the spot.
No, our leak detection methods are completely non-invasive. We use thermal imaging cameras and acoustic sensors that work from the surface without requiring any drilling, cutting, or removal of materials. This is especially important in Indian Hill’s well-maintained homes where preserving finishes and architectural details matters.
Traditional leak detection often involved exploratory holes and guesswork, but modern technology eliminates that need. We can see through walls, detect moisture behind tiles, and locate underground leaks without disturbing your landscaping or hardscaping. The only time we recommend any invasive work is after we’ve pinpointed the exact problem location for targeted repairs.
Several warning signs suggest hidden leaks in your Indian Hill home. Unexplained increases in your water bill are often the first indicator, especially if your usage habits haven’t changed. You might notice damp or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or floors, or detect musty odors that could indicate mold growth from hidden moisture.
Other signs include the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, warm spots on floors that might indicate hot water line leaks, or areas of your yard that stay unusually green or soggy. In Illinois homes, pay attention to any changes after winter freeze-thaw cycles, as this is when many hidden pipe problems develop. If you notice any of these signs, early detection can prevent major damage and expensive repairs.
Yes, we detect leaks in both hot and cold water systems, though our approach varies slightly for each. Hot water leaks are often easier to spot with thermal imaging because the temperature difference is more pronounced, making them show up clearly on our infrared cameras.
Cold water leaks require more reliance on acoustic detection, as the temperature difference may be subtle. However, our professional-grade equipment is sensitive enough to detect even small temperature variations caused by cold water moisture. We often use both thermal and acoustic methods together for the most comprehensive detection, ensuring we don’t miss any leaks regardless of water temperature or pipe location.
