Our Reviews
You hear water running but can’t find where. Your water bill jumped for no reason. There’s a damp spot on your wall that won’t go away.
These aren’t mysteries—they’re signs of hidden leaks that get worse every day you wait. Our leak detection service uses thermal imaging, acoustic equipment, and electronic sensors to pinpoint exactly where water is escaping, even inside walls or underground.
When we find your leak, you get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it. No guessing. No tearing apart your house hoping we’ll find something. Just precise detection that saves you time, money, and the headache of dealing with water damage later.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Maywood and the surrounding Chicagoland area with reliable plumbing solutions. We’re locally owned, which means we understand the unique challenges that come with older homes and changing weather patterns in this area.
Our team is licensed, bonded, and insured. We’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will, finding problems other companies miss, and explaining everything in plain English so you can make informed decisions about your property.
First, we listen. You tell us what you’ve noticed—sounds, wet spots, higher bills. Then we start with a visual inspection of the obvious places before moving to our detection equipment.
We use thermal imaging cameras to see temperature differences that indicate moisture behind walls. Acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water moving where it shouldn’t. Electronic leak detection tools can pinpoint underground leaks without digging up your yard.
Once we locate the problem, we mark it clearly and explain exactly what we found. You’ll know where the leak is, how serious it is, and what your options are for fixing it. No surprises, no upselling—just the information you need to make the right choice for your situation.

Our leak detection service covers every type of water leak you might face in Maywood. Slab leaks under your foundation, pipe leaks inside walls, underground water line breaks, and even small fixture leaks that add up over time.
Maywood’s mix of older homes and varying soil conditions creates specific challenges. Clay soil can shift and stress pipes. Older copper and galvanized lines are more prone to corrosion. We’ve seen these patterns for years, so we know where to look and what warning signs mean trouble.
You get a thorough inspection using multiple detection methods, a clear report of what we found, and honest recommendations for next steps. We don’t just find leaks—we help you understand why they happened and how to prevent them in the future.
Watch for these common signs: unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, damp or discolored spots on walls or ceilings, musty odors, or areas of your yard that stay green when everything else is dry.
Your water meter can also tell you a lot. Turn off all water in your house and check if the meter is still moving. If it is, you have a leak somewhere in your system.
Don’t ignore small signs. A minor leak today becomes major water damage tomorrow, and the repair costs go up fast once structural damage starts.
Leak detection is the diagnostic process—we find exactly where water is escaping and assess the extent of the problem. This happens before any repair work begins, so you know what you’re dealing with.
Leak repair is the actual fix. Depending on what we find, this might mean replacing a section of pipe, sealing a joint, or addressing the underlying cause that created the leak in the first place.
We always detect first, then give you a clear estimate for the repair work. This way, you’re not paying for guesswork or unnecessary demolition to hunt for the problem.
Yes, in most cases. Our thermal imaging cameras see temperature differences through walls and floors that indicate moisture. Acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water movement. Electronic sensors can detect moisture in building materials.
These non-invasive methods find the vast majority of leaks without any demolition. When we do need to make an opening to access a leak for repair, we know exactly where to cut, so we minimize the disruption to your home.
The goal is always to find the problem with the least impact on your property. Advanced detection equipment makes this possible in ways that weren’t available even a few years ago.
Most residential leak detection takes 1-3 hours, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the problem. Simple fixture leaks might take 30 minutes to locate and confirm. Underground or slab leaks can take longer because we need to trace the path of your water lines.
We work systematically, starting with the most likely locations based on your symptoms, then expanding our search if needed. Our equipment speeds up the process significantly compared to traditional methods that relied on guesswork.
You’ll get a time estimate when we arrive, and we’ll keep you updated if we need more time to solve a particularly challenging leak.
Maywood’s mix of older homes means we see a lot of aging pipe materials—copper lines from the 1960s-80s and galvanized steel that’s even older. These materials corrode over time, especially where different metals connect.
Soil conditions also play a role. Clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, putting stress on underground pipes. Freeze-thaw cycles affect outdoor plumbing and any pipes in unheated areas.
Poor installation or repairs from years past create weak points that eventually fail. Tree roots growing into sewer lines are common, and they can also affect water lines. The key is catching these problems before they cause major damage.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services. Water doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. If you have water actively leaking into your home, or if your water meter is spinning and you can’t find the source, call us immediately.
Emergency detection focuses on stopping the immediate problem and preventing further damage. We’ll locate the leak, help you shut off water to that area if possible, and give you options for temporary measures until permanent repairs can be made.
Our emergency service covers all of Maywood and the surrounding areas. We understand that water damage gets worse by the hour, so we prioritize these calls and get to you as quickly as possible.
