Our Reviews
You wake up to a normal Tuesday, but your water bill arrived yesterday showing a 40% increase. No visible leaks anywhere. That hidden leak is already costing you money and could be destroying your foundation right now.
Professional leak detection finds these problems before they become disasters. We locate underground water leaks, leaks in walls, and underfloor water leaks using advanced technology that doesn’t require digging up your yard or breaking through walls.
When we find your leak early, you avoid the nightmare of structural repairs, mold remediation, and insurance claims. Your Bedford Park home stays dry, your bills stay normal, and you sleep better knowing your property is protected.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving Chicago-area plumbing problems for years, and we understand what Bedford Park properties face. The clay soils, aging infrastructure, and Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles create unique leak challenges that require local expertise.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your trust matters more than a quick sale. Our team knows Bedford Park’s plumbing systems, from the older homes near the industrial areas to the newer developments, and we’ve seen every type of leak problem this area throws at properties.
When you call us, you’re getting professionals who live and work in this community. We’re not some national chain – we’re your neighbors, and we’ll be here tomorrow when you need us again.
First, we listen. You tell us what you’ve noticed – higher bills, damp spots, strange sounds, or just a gut feeling something’s wrong. We take notes because details matter when hunting hidden leaks.
Next comes the detection. We use electronic listening equipment, ground microphones, and thermal imaging to pinpoint exactly where water is escaping. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging. Our technology hears water moving through concrete, under floors, and behind walls.
Once we locate the leak, we explain exactly what we found and what it’ll take to fix it. You get upfront pricing before any work begins. Then we repair the leak using the least invasive method possible, getting your water flowing properly again without turning your property into a construction zone.

Our leak detection service covers everything from obvious problems to the sneaky leaks that hide for months. We detect underground water leaks in your main line, slab leaks under your foundation, and leaks in walls that show up as mysterious water stains or mold growth.
Bedford Park’s industrial history means many properties have unique plumbing configurations. Older homes near the railroad might have galvanized pipes prone to corrosion, while newer areas deal with shifting clay soils that stress underground lines. We’ve handled both scenarios hundreds of times.
You get a complete diagnostic report showing exactly where the leak is located, what caused it, and your repair options. We explain everything in plain English because you shouldn’t need a plumbing degree to understand what’s happening in your own property. Our goal is finding your leak fast and fixing it right the first time.
We use electronic leak detection equipment including ground microphones and acoustic sensors that can hear water escaping through soil, concrete, and pipe materials. These tools detect the specific sound frequencies that water makes when it leaks from pressurized pipes.
Our thermal imaging cameras also identify temperature differences where water is pooling underground or behind walls. Cold spots often indicate where water is collecting, while warm areas might show where hot water lines are leaking.
This technology lets us pinpoint leak locations within inches, so any digging or wall opening we do is minimal and targeted. Most of our leak detection work happens without any property damage at all.
Your water bill jumping up without explanation is the biggest red flag. Even a small underground leak can waste hundreds of gallons monthly, showing up as a 20-40% increase in your bill.
Look for damp or unusually green spots in your yard, especially during dry weather. Underground leaks create these oasis-like patches where grass grows better because it’s getting extra water. You might also notice your water pressure dropping or hear water running when all fixtures are turned off.
Inside your home, watch for water stains on walls or ceilings, musty odors that suggest hidden moisture, or floors that feel warm in unexpected spots. These signs often appear weeks before you see actual water damage.
Most residential leak detection takes 1-3 hours depending on your property size and the leak’s location. Simple cases where we can narrow down the area quickly might be done in under an hour.
Complex situations involving multiple potential leak points or large properties can take longer. Underground leaks in Bedford Park sometimes require extra time because the clay soil here can mask leak sounds, making detection more challenging than in other areas.
We always give you a time estimate upfront and keep you informed if we need additional time. Our goal is being thorough rather than fast – missing a leak means you’ll be calling someone back later.
Yes, our electronic detection equipment can locate most wall leaks without any demolition. We use acoustic sensors that detect water movement behind drywall, tile, and other wall materials.
Thermal imaging shows us temperature differences that indicate where water is pooling or traveling behind walls. We can often determine which specific pipe is leaking and exactly where the problem is located before making any holes.
When we do need to open a wall, it’s usually just a small access hole in the exact spot where the leak is located. This targeted approach means minimal repair work afterward – often just patching a single hole rather than tearing out entire wall sections.
Bedford Park’s clay soil expands and contracts dramatically with moisture changes, putting stress on underground pipes. During dry periods, the soil shrinks and can leave pipes unsupported. When it rains heavily, the expanding clay can crush or shift pipes.
The area’s industrial history also means many properties have older galvanized or cast iron pipes that corrode over time. Tree roots from the mature trees throughout Bedford Park seek out water sources and can penetrate pipe joints or create pressure that causes breaks.
Temperature fluctuations during Chicago winters cause ground freezing and thawing cycles that can crack pipes or loosen fittings. These local conditions make regular leak detection especially important for Bedford Park property owners.
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency leak detection because water damage doesn’t wait for business hours. If you discover a major leak, lose water pressure suddenly, or notice flooding, we can respond the same day.
Emergency situations get priority scheduling, and we carry detection equipment in our service vehicles so we can start locating your leak immediately upon arrival. Our goal is stopping water waste and preventing property damage as quickly as possible.
For non-emergency situations, we typically can schedule leak detection within 24-48 hours. But if you’re dealing with active water damage or a situation that’s getting worse by the hour, call us immediately and we’ll prioritize your Bedford Park property.
