Our Reviews
You wake up to another unexplained spike in your water bill. There’s that musty smell creeping through the house again. Maybe you’ve noticed a warm spot on your floor or heard water running when everything’s turned off.
Hidden leaks don’t announce themselves until they’ve already done serious damage. By the time you see water stains on walls or pooling in your yard, you’re looking at thousands in repairs. The average home loses over 10,000 gallons annually from undetected leaks.
Our leak detection service finds problems before they become disasters. You get accurate results without tearing apart your walls or digging up your yard. We locate the exact source, explain what’s happening, and give you a clear path forward.
We at All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. have been serving Chicagoland homeowners for years. We know what Chicago winters do to pipes, and we understand the unique challenges of older homes in this area.
We’re not the cheapest option in town. We’re the one that shows up on time, finds your leak the first time, and doesn’t leave you guessing about what comes next. Licensed, bonded, and insured, we handle every job like it’s our own home.
When other companies are playing guessing games with your walls, we’re using professional-grade equipment to pinpoint problems with precision. That’s the difference between a service call and a solution.
We start with a thorough assessment of your situation. You tell us what you’ve noticed – higher bills, strange sounds, wet spots – and we listen. No rushing, no assumptions.
Next, we deploy our detection equipment. Acoustic tools pick up sounds your ears can’t hear. Infrared cameras show temperature differences that reveal hidden moisture. Electromagnetic locators trace your pipes without excavation. We’re not guessing where your leak might be.
Once we’ve pinpointed the problem, we explain exactly what we found and what it means for your home. You get a clear explanation of your options, upfront pricing, and a realistic timeline. Then we fix it right, test our work, and make sure you understand how to prevent future issues.

Our leak detection service covers every type of water leak you might face in Avalon Park. Underground water line leaks that spike your bills. Hidden leaks in walls that threaten your home’s structure. Underfloor leaks that damage foundations. Slab leaks that require specialized equipment.
Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on plumbing systems. Pipes expand and contract, joints loosen, and small cracks turn into major problems. We see this pattern every year in homes throughout the area, and we know exactly what to look for.
Your service includes complete detection using multiple technologies, detailed explanation of findings, repair recommendations, and prevention advice specific to your home’s age and construction. We don’t just find the leak – we help you understand why it happened and how to avoid the next one.
We use advanced non-invasive technology including acoustic leak detection, infrared thermal imaging, and electromagnetic pipe locating equipment. Acoustic tools detect the sound of water escaping from pipes, even when it’s too faint for human ears. Infrared cameras show temperature differences that reveal moisture behind walls or under floors.
Electromagnetic locators trace your pipe routes without any digging or cutting. This combination of technologies lets us pinpoint leak locations with precision before any invasive work begins. When we do need to access a pipe, we know exactly where to cut, minimizing damage to your property.
Most leak detection jobs require zero damage to your home. When access is necessary, we make the smallest opening possible and restore everything to original condition.
Higher than normal water bills are often the first sign, especially when your usage habits haven’t changed. You might hear water running when all fixtures are turned off, or notice your water meter moving when no water is being used.
Physical signs include warm spots on floors (indicating hot water line leaks), musty odors or visible mold growth, water stains on walls or ceilings, and unexplained wet areas in your yard. Paint or wallpaper may bubble or peel in affected areas.
In Chicago homes, winter freeze damage often shows up months later as small leaks that gradually worsen. If you experienced any pipe freezing this past winter, it’s worth having a professional inspection even if you don’t see obvious problems yet.
Our leak detection service starts with transparent, upfront pricing – no surprises or hidden fees. The cost depends on your home’s size, the complexity of your plumbing system, and the type of detection methods needed.
Most residential leak detection jobs range from basic visual and acoustic inspection to comprehensive multi-technology detection for complex cases. We provide a clear quote before starting any work, and we stick to that price.
Consider that the average hidden leak wastes over 10,000 gallons of water annually, costing hundreds in utility bills alone. Early detection typically saves thousands compared to the cost of major water damage repairs, foundation issues, or mold remediation.
Absolutely. Many Avalon Park homes have unique plumbing configurations, mixed pipe materials, and layouts that reflect decades of updates and modifications. We’ve worked with everything from original galvanized steel to modern PEX installations, often in the same house.
Our equipment adapts to different pipe materials and configurations. Acoustic detection works regardless of pipe type, and our electromagnetic locators can trace most metallic pipes even when they’re buried under multiple renovation layers.
Chicago’s older homes often have plumbing that doesn’t follow standard patterns, but that’s exactly why professional detection equipment is essential. We can map your system, identify problem areas, and locate leaks that would be nearly impossible to find through guesswork.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Avalon Park and the greater Chicago area. Water leaks don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we.
Emergency situations include sudden water bill spikes, visible water damage appearing rapidly, sounds of rushing water inside walls, or any leak that threatens your home’s structure or safety. We prioritize these calls and can typically respond within hours.
Our emergency service includes the same thorough detection process with immediate assessment of any safety concerns. We’ll stop active leaks, assess the damage, and provide temporary solutions if needed while developing a complete repair plan.
Once we locate your leak, we provide a detailed explanation of what we found, why it happened, and what needs to be done. You’ll get photos of the problem area when possible and a clear breakdown of repair options.
We handle most leak repairs on the spot, from simple pipe patches to section replacements. For complex situations requiring permits or extensive work, we coordinate with you to schedule the most convenient time and minimize disruption to your routine.
Every repair includes testing to ensure the problem is completely resolved, cleanup of any work areas, and guidance on preventing similar issues. We also check for additional potential problems while we have your system accessible, saving you future service calls.
