Our Reviews
You’ll know exactly where your leak is hiding. No more guessing games that waste your time and money.
Our thermal imaging cameras and acoustic detection equipment pinpoint leaks behind walls and under concrete slabs without damaging your property. You get clear answers about what’s wrong and exactly what it’ll cost to fix.
Most Southmoor homeowners are shocked to discover they’ve been losing 2,000 to 20,000 gallons of water annually through hidden leaks. Once we locate and repair these leaks, your water bills drop and your property stays protected from expensive water damage.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has served Southmoor and the greater Chicago area since 2000. We’re a family-owned business that understands how Chicago’s harsh winters and aging infrastructure create unique plumbing challenges.
Owner Bert Reyes and our team know that Southmoor residents deal with freeze-thaw cycles that weaken pipe joints and create slow leaks. We’ve seen how these seemingly minor issues turn into major property damage when left undetected.
That’s why we invested in advanced leak detection technology. You get accurate results without the property damage that comes with old-school “dig and hope” methods.
First, we listen to your concerns and inspect the obvious signs – higher water bills, damp spots, or unusual sounds. This helps us understand what type of leak we’re likely dealing with.
Next, we deploy our thermal imaging cameras and acoustic detection equipment. These tools show us temperature variations and sound patterns that reveal exactly where water is escaping from your pipes. We can see through walls and under floors without causing any damage to your property.
Finally, we provide you with a clear report showing the leak location, photos of the issue, and an upfront estimate for repairs. You’ll know exactly what needs to be fixed and what it costs before any work begins.

Our leak detection service covers everything from minor faucet leaks to major underground water line breaks. We handle leak detection in walls, under concrete slabs, and in underground pipes throughout Southmoor.
Southmoor’s older homes often have plumbing systems that haven’t been updated in decades. Combined with Chicago’s extreme temperature swings, these systems are prone to developing leaks in hard-to-reach places. We use electromagnetic pipe locating and video pipe inspection to find problems other companies miss.
Each service includes thermal imaging analysis, acoustic leak detection, detailed reporting with photos, and transparent pricing. We’re available 24/7 for emergency leak detection because water damage doesn’t wait for business hours.
We use advanced thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature variations caused by water leaks. These cameras can see through walls and floors to identify moisture patterns without requiring any demolition or excavation.
Our acoustic detection equipment listens for the specific sound frequencies that water makes when escaping from pipes. This technology is so precise that we can pinpoint leak locations within inches, even when they’re buried underground or hidden behind finished walls.
This non-invasive approach means you avoid the mess, expense, and disruption of unnecessary digging or wall removal. We only recommend opening walls or excavating when we’re certain of the leak location.
The most common sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill, especially if your usage habits haven’t changed. Many Southmoor homeowners discover they’ve been losing thousands of gallons monthly through hidden leaks.
Other warning signs include damp or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or floors, the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off, and unusually soft or spongy areas in your flooring. You might also notice mold or mildew growth in areas that should be dry.
In Southmoor’s older homes, pay attention to foundation cracks or settling, as these can indicate underground leaks that are washing away soil beneath your property. If you notice any of these signs, early detection can prevent thousands of dollars in water damage.
Our leak detection service starts with a comprehensive inspection and diagnostic assessment. We provide upfront pricing before beginning any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect with no surprise charges.
The investment in professional leak detection typically pays for itself quickly. Most hidden leaks waste hundreds or thousands of gallons of water monthly, driving up your utility bills. Early detection prevents this waste and stops small problems from becoming expensive property damage.
We offer free estimates for leak detection services. The cost varies depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and the type of detection methods needed, but we’ll explain all options and pricing clearly before starting any work.
Absolutely. Southmoor and the greater Chicago area have many homes built decades ago with aging plumbing systems. These older properties present unique challenges, but our experience and advanced equipment are specifically suited for these situations.
Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on older pipe systems. Water freezes and expands in winter, then contracts as it thaws, gradually weakening joints and creating small leaks that worsen over time. Our thermal imaging technology excels at finding these gradual leaks before they cause major damage.
We’ve worked extensively with Chicago’s older infrastructure, including homes with lead pipes, galvanized steel, and early copper installations. Our team understands how these different materials age and where they’re most likely to develop problems.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection throughout Southmoor and the Chicago area. Water leaks don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we.
Emergency situations include burst pipes, major water line breaks, or any leak causing active flooding or property damage. We understand that every minute counts when water is actively damaging your home, so we prioritize emergency calls and respond as quickly as possible.
Our emergency service includes the same advanced detection technology and thorough approach as our standard appointments. You get accurate leak location and professional repair recommendations, even during off-hours or weekend emergencies.
Once we locate your leak, we provide a detailed report with photos showing exactly where the problem is and what’s causing it. You’ll receive a clear explanation of the issue and an upfront estimate for repairs.
We handle the complete repair process, from minor pipe patches to full line replacements. Our goal is to fix the problem right the first time using quality materials and workmanship that lasts. All repairs come with our satisfaction guarantee.
If multiple leaks are discovered, we prioritize them by severity and help you understand which ones need immediate attention versus those that can be monitored. This approach helps you make informed decisions about your plumbing investments.
