Our Reviews
You know something’s wrong when your water bill jumps for no reason. Or when you hear water running but can’t find the source. Maybe you’ve spotted a damp spot on your wall or ceiling that wasn’t there before.
Hidden leaks don’t stay hidden forever. They get worse, spread further, and cost more every day you wait. What starts as a small problem behind your wall becomes rotted drywall, damaged flooring, and mold issues that insurance might not cover.
Our advanced leak detection technology pinpoints exactly where water is escaping without tearing up your property. You get answers fast, repairs start immediately, and your water bill goes back to normal. No guessing, no unnecessary demolition, no surprises.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc has been solving plumbing problems for West Englewood homeowners and businesses for years. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your property deserves protection, not risk.
Chicago-area properties face unique challenges. Old pipes, shifting foundations, harsh winters that freeze and crack lines. We understand these local issues because we live and work here too.
When you call, you get straight answers about what’s wrong, how much it costs, and when it gets fixed. No runaround, no inflated estimates, no disappearing after we cash your check.
First, we listen to your situation and ask specific questions about what you’ve noticed. Higher water bills, sounds of running water, wet spots, or musty smells all tell a story about where the problem might be hiding.
Next comes the detection work using electronic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and moisture meters. This technology finds leaks in walls, under floors, and underground without breaking anything. We mark the exact location so repairs target the right spot the first time.
Once we’ve found every leak, you get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and upfront pricing for repairs. No surprise charges, no “we found more problems” upsells. You decide what gets fixed and when, with complete information about your options.

West Englewood properties deal with leaks in walls from old galvanized pipes, under-slab leaks from shifting soil, and outdoor line breaks from tree roots. Each type needs different detection methods and equipment to locate accurately.
Wall leaks often start small but spread through insulation and drywall, creating perfect conditions for mold growth. Electronic listening devices and moisture meters find these problems before you see visible damage on your walls or ceilings.
Underground leaks waste thousands of gallons and create soft spots in your yard or foundation problems. Ground-penetrating technology traces your water lines and pinpoints breaks without digging up your landscaping first. You know exactly where to dig and how deep before any shovels hit the ground.
Electronic listening equipment detects the sound of water escaping from pipes behind walls and under floors. These devices amplify the specific frequency of water leaks, even when they’re too quiet for human ears to notice.
Thermal imaging cameras show temperature differences where water is cooling or heating surfaces differently than dry areas. Moisture meters measure humidity levels inside walls through small probe holes that are easily patched afterward.
This combination pinpoints leak locations within inches, so repairs only require small access holes instead of tearing out entire wall sections. You save money on both detection and repair costs while keeping your property damage to a minimum.
Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles put enormous stress on plumbing systems every winter. Pipes expand and contract repeatedly, weakening joints and creating small cracks that grow over time. Older homes with galvanized pipes face additional problems as the metal corrodes from the inside out.
Foundation settling is another major cause in this area. As soil shifts and houses settle, rigid pipe connections can crack or separate. This is especially common where pipes enter the foundation or connect to fixtures.
Tree roots seeking water sources often invade underground lines through tiny cracks, then expand and break the pipes completely. Mature trees near your water line create the highest risk for this type of damage.
Detection costs depend on your property size, the complexity of your plumbing system, and how many potential leak locations need investigation. Simple single-location detection typically costs less than comprehensive whole-house inspections.
The investment pays for itself quickly when you consider the alternatives. Guessing wrong about leak locations leads to unnecessary demolition, multiple repair attempts, and ongoing water waste that shows up on every monthly bill.
Most property owners save significantly more on prevented water damage than they spend on professional detection. Finding a leak early, before it damages flooring, walls, or foundations, can save thousands in repair costs and insurance claims.
Ground-penetrating radar and electronic pipe locating equipment trace underground water lines and identify breaks without any excavation. These tools map your entire underground plumbing system and show exactly where problems are occurring.
Acoustic detection equipment listens for the sound of water escaping from buried pipes. Even deep underground leaks create detectable sound signatures that specialized equipment can isolate and locate precisely.
Once the leak location is confirmed, excavation focuses on the smallest area necessary for repairs. You avoid digging up your entire yard or driveway to find one problem spot, saving money on both detection and landscape restoration.
Emergency leak detection service is available 24/7 for situations where water is actively damaging your property or creating safety hazards. Response times depend on current service calls and your location, but urgent situations get priority scheduling.
Major leaks that threaten electrical systems, structural integrity, or create flooding require immediate attention. We carry portable detection equipment in our service trucks to start finding problems as soon as we arrive on site.
For less urgent situations where you suspect hidden leaks but aren’t seeing active damage, same-day or next-day appointments are typically available. Early detection still saves money compared to waiting until problems become emergencies.
Professional detection equipment finds the vast majority of leaks, including those too small or hidden to detect through visual inspection alone. However, some extremely minor leaks or intermittent problems might not show up during a single detection session.
Our detection process is systematic and thorough, checking all accessible areas of your plumbing system using multiple technologies. If equipment indicates potential problems in areas that can’t be immediately verified, you’ll get honest information about the limitations and options for further investigation.
When leaks are found, you get precise location information and clear documentation of the problems. This ensures repairs target the right areas and provides documentation for insurance claims if water damage has already occurred in your property.
