Our Reviews
You know something’s wrong. Your water bill jumped for no reason. There’s a damp spot on the wall that wasn’t there last week. Maybe you hear water running when everything’s turned off.
Hidden leaks don’t announce themselves until they’ve already done damage. By the time you see water pooling or notice that musty smell, you’re looking at thousands in repairs instead of hundreds.
Our leak detection equipment finds problems before they become disasters. We locate the exact source without tearing up your floors or digging up your yard. You get answers fast, and repairs that actually solve the problem instead of just patching symptoms.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving Chicago-area plumbing problems for years. We’re locally owned, which means we understand how Chicago’s weather, soil conditions, and older infrastructure create unique challenges for homeowners.
Our technicians are licensed, bonded, and insured. More importantly, they’ve seen every type of leak problem this area throws at you. From frozen pipe damage to foundation settling issues, we know what to look for and how to fix it right the first time.
We’re not the cheapest option in town, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for equipment that actually works, technicians who know what they’re doing, and repairs that last.
First, we listen. You tell us what you’ve noticed, when it started, and where you think the problem might be. This saves time and helps us bring the right equipment.
Next, we investigate. Our detection equipment includes acoustic listening devices, infrared cameras, and pressure testing tools. We start with the least invasive methods and work from there. Most leaks can be pinpointed without any digging or wall cutting.
Then we show you exactly what we found. You’ll see the problem area, understand what caused it, and know what needs to happen next. We provide upfront pricing before any repair work begins.
Finally, we fix it properly. We access the problem with minimal damage to your property, make the repair, and test everything to make sure it’s actually solved.

We handle underground water leak detection for main lines and service connections. Underfloor water leak detection for slab leaks and radiant heating systems. Leak detection in walls for supply lines and drain pipes. Plus plumbing leak detection for fixtures, appliances, and everything in between.
Sag Bridge’s mix of older homes and newer construction means we see everything from corroded galvanized pipes to modern PEX failures. Our equipment works on all pipe materials and in all locations – basement to attic, street to house.
Each service includes complete documentation for insurance claims if needed. We photograph the problem, provide detailed reports, and work directly with your insurance company when necessary. You get the repair you need without the paperwork headaches.
Leak detection typically costs between $200-$500 depending on the complexity and location of the suspected leak. Simple acoustic detection for obvious problems costs less than comprehensive underground leak detection that requires multiple methods.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. If we find the leak and you hire us for the repair, the detection fee is often applied toward the repair cost. This approach saves you money and ensures you’re not paying twice for the same service.
Emergency leak detection outside normal business hours includes additional fees, but we’ll explain all costs before dispatching a technician. No surprises, no hidden charges.
Yes, most leaks can be located using non-invasive methods. We use acoustic listening devices, infrared cameras, and pressure testing to pinpoint leak locations without digging or cutting into walls.
Our equipment can detect leaks through concrete slabs, behind finished walls, and underground without excavation. When we do need to access a pipe for repair, we make the smallest opening possible and restore the area to its original condition.
In rare cases where excavation is necessary, we mark the exact location first to minimize digging. You’ll know exactly what needs to be disturbed before any work begins.
Unexplained increases in your water bill are the most common sign. If your usage hasn’t changed but your bill jumped significantly, you likely have a hidden leak somewhere in your system.
Other warning signs include damp spots on walls or ceilings, musty odors that suggest mold growth, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, and warm spots on floors that might indicate a hot water line leak.
Don’t wait for visible water damage. By the time you see pooling water or major stains, the leak has been active for weeks or months. Early detection saves thousands in water damage repairs.
Most residential leak detection takes 1-3 hours depending on the size of your property and the complexity of the problem. Simple fixture leaks can be located in minutes, while underground leaks or problems in large homes take longer.
We start with the most likely locations based on your symptoms and work systematically through the possibilities. Our goal is accuracy, not speed – finding the right leak the first time instead of missing problems that will cause future damage.
Complex cases involving multiple leaks or hard-to-access areas might require a follow-up visit, but we’ll identify the primary problem during the initial service call.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection for urgent situations. If you have water actively flowing, visible damage spreading, or a leak that’s threatening electrical systems, call immediately.
Emergency service includes higher fees for after-hours calls, but we respond quickly to prevent additional damage. We carry basic repair materials on our trucks to stop active leaks even if permanent repairs need to wait until regular business hours.
For non-emergency situations like suspected hidden leaks or gradual water bill increases, regular appointment scheduling saves you money while still addressing the problem promptly.
Insurance coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of the leak. Sudden pipe failures are typically covered, while gradual leaks from wear and maintenance issues usually aren’t.
We provide detailed documentation including photos, leak location reports, and cause analysis to support insurance claims. Our reports meet insurance company requirements and help ensure faster claim processing.
We work directly with insurance adjusters when needed and can coordinate repairs once claims are approved. This streamlines the process and gets your home back to normal faster.
