Our Reviews
That mysterious spike in your water bill isn’t a billing error. Hidden leaks waste thousands of gallons monthly, turning your hard-earned money into soggy drywall and foundation problems.
Our leak detection specialists use thermal imaging, acoustic equipment, and pressure testing to pinpoint exactly where water is escaping. No more guessing. No more tearing up your property hoping to find the problem.
You get precise locations, honest pricing, and solutions that actually work. Most importantly, you get your peace of mind back.
We at All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. have been solving plumbing problems across Chicago’s South Side for years. We understand what Altgeld Gardens homeowners face every day.
Your neighborhood sits on some of Chicago’s older infrastructure. We’ve worked on homes built when lead pipes were standard and water pressure was an afterthought. We know which houses typically have cast iron drain lines and where the tricky underground connections hide.
Being local means we’re licensed for Chicago’s specific requirements, bonded for your protection, and insured because this work matters. When your neighbor recommends a plumber, they’re talking about companies like ours.
We start with a conversation about what you’ve noticed. Higher bills, damp spots, the sound of running water when everything’s turned off. These clues matter.
Next comes the technology. Thermal cameras show temperature differences where water is cooling surfaces. Acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water moving through pipes or escaping into walls. Electronic leak detection pinpoints underground water leak detection issues without digging up your yard.
We test water pressure throughout your system and use specialized equipment for underfloor water leak detection. When we find the problem, we mark it clearly and explain exactly what needs to happen next. You’ll know where the leak is, why it’s happening, and what it’ll cost to fix before any repair work begins.

Every leak detection service includes a comprehensive inspection of your plumbing system. We check visible pipes, test water pressure, and use advanced equipment to scan areas you can’t see.
In Altgeld Gardens, we pay special attention to common problem areas. Many homes here have original galvanized pipes that develop pinhole leaks over time. We know where these typically fail and check those spots first.
You receive a detailed report showing exactly what we found, including photos when possible. If repairs are needed, we provide upfront pricing with no surprises. Our goal is to solve your leak problem completely, not just patch it temporarily.
We use thermal imaging cameras and acoustic detection equipment to locate leaks behind walls without any demolition. The thermal camera shows temperature differences where water is present, while acoustic equipment detects the sound of water movement.
These technologies let us pinpoint leak locations within inches, so any necessary repairs involve minimal wall damage. In most cases, we can identify the exact pipe section that needs attention without opening large sections of drywall.
This approach saves you hundreds in repair costs and keeps your home livable during the process.
A basic inspection relies mostly on visual examination of accessible pipes. Our leak detection service uses specialized equipment that most plumbers don’t carry.
We have thermal cameras, electronic leak detectors, acoustic equipment, and pressure testing tools specifically designed to find hidden problems. This technology can detect issues that won’t show symptoms for months or years.
While a standard inspection might catch obvious problems, our service finds the hidden leaks that cause the real damage. It’s the difference between treating symptoms and diagnosing the actual problem.
Most residential leak detection services take 2-4 hours, depending on your home’s size and plumbing complexity. We don’t rush the process because accuracy matters more than speed.
The inspection includes testing all water fixtures, scanning walls and floors with thermal equipment, checking underground lines, and documenting everything we find. If we discover multiple issues, we take time to prioritize them based on urgency and cost.
You’ll have complete results the same day, along with our recommendations for addressing any problems we’ve identified.
Yes, our underground water leak detection equipment can locate most buried line problems without excavation. We use electronic detection and acoustic equipment to trace water lines and identify where they’re leaking.
The equipment works by detecting changes in soil moisture and the sound of water escaping from pressurized pipes. We can usually pinpoint leak locations within a few feet, so any necessary digging is minimal and targeted.
This saves you from having your entire yard torn up just to find one problem pipe. You get accurate results with minimal landscape disruption.
Call us immediately, especially if your water bill has increased unexpectedly or you hear water running when everything’s turned off. Hidden leaks get worse over time and cause more damage the longer they’re ignored.
Don’t try to locate the leak yourself by opening walls or digging. Our equipment can find problems without any demolition, and we can usually schedule service within 24 hours for urgent situations.
