Our Reviews
You’ll sleep better knowing that mysterious water stain isn’t turning into a $3,000 repair bill. When we find and fix your leak, your water bills drop back to normal, your walls stay dry, and your basement doesn’t smell like mold.
No more wondering where that water is coming from. No more watching your utility bills climb month after month. Just a dry home, lower bills, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing the problem is actually solved—not just patched up.
The difference is real: homes with undetected leaks can lose up to 20,000 gallons of water annually. That’s money straight down the drain, plus the hidden damage happening behind your walls.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving plumbing problems throughout the Chicagoland area for years. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured—which means you’re protected, and we stand behind our work.
We understand Portage Park’s unique challenges. The aging infrastructure in this neighborhood means leaks happen more often, especially during Chicago’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles. We’ve seen it all: burst pipes from winter cold, tree roots cracking underground lines, and those sneaky slab leaks that can run for months before anyone notices.
What sets us apart is simple: we show up when we say we will, we find the leak without destroying your property, and we fix it right the first time. No runaround, no surprise charges, no cutting holes in your walls just to “take a look.”
First, we listen. Not just to you, but to your pipes. Our acoustic equipment picks up sounds you can’t hear—the subtle dripping and flowing that pinpoints exactly where your leak is hiding.
Next, we see what you can’t. Our thermal imaging cameras show temperature differences behind walls and under floors, revealing moisture patterns that lead us straight to the problem. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging, no torn-up drywall.
Then we confirm and fix. Once we’ve located the leak, we show you exactly what we found and explain your options. We handle the repair with minimal disruption to your property, test everything to make sure it’s working properly, and clean up our work area before we leave.

We detect leaks wherever they’re hiding: behind walls, under concrete slabs, in your yard, or anywhere water flows through your property. Our service includes acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging, electromagnetic pipeline location, and video camera inspection.
In Portage Park, we see certain patterns. The neighborhood’s beautiful mature trees can cause root intrusion into sewer lines. The area’s older homes often have mixed pipe materials that create weak points. And Chicago’s temperature swings put extra stress on every connection.
Our equipment handles it all. We can trace underground water lines, locate slab leaks without jackhammering your floor, and find wall leaks without opening up your drywall. Every detection comes with a clear explanation of what we found and what it’ll take to fix it properly.
We use thermal imaging cameras and acoustic detection equipment to locate leaks behind walls without any demolition. The thermal camera shows temperature differences caused by moisture, while our acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water movement that’s too faint for human hearing.
This technology lets us pinpoint the exact location of a leak, so when we do need to access the pipe, we make one small, precise opening instead of cutting multiple exploratory holes. Most of our customers are amazed at how little disruption there is to their property.
You’ll know exactly where the problem is before we make any cuts, and you’ll see the evidence on our equipment’s display screen.
The most common early warning sign is a water bill that’s higher than usual without any change in your usage patterns. You might also notice damp spots on walls or ceilings, a musty smell that suggests mold growth, or the sound of running water when all your fixtures are turned off.
In Portage Park’s older homes, we often find leaks that have been running for months before anyone notices. Check your water meter when no water is being used—if it’s still moving, you’ve got a leak somewhere in your system.
Other signs include low water pressure, soft spots in your flooring, or unexplained wet areas in your basement or yard. The sooner you catch these signs, the less damage and expense you’ll face.
Leak detection typically costs between $100 and $400, depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and the type of equipment needed. This investment usually pays for itself quickly by preventing extensive water damage and reducing your water bills.
Consider this: the average hidden leak wastes thousands of gallons per year, and if it’s causing structural damage, repairs can easily cost $3,000 to $7,000. Professional detection finds the problem early, when it’s still a simple fix instead of a major renovation.
We provide upfront pricing before we start any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Most of our customers tell us the detection service was the best money they ever spent on their home.
Yes, we can locate slab leaks without breaking up your concrete floor. We use specialized acoustic equipment that detects the sound of pressurized water escaping from pipes under your slab, along with electromagnetic pipeline locators that trace the exact path of your plumbing.
Slab leaks are particularly common in Chicago because of our freeze-thaw cycles and ground shifting. The key is finding them before they cause major foundation problems or flood your basement.
Once we’ve pinpointed the leak’s location, we can often access it through a small opening in the concrete, or recommend trenchless repair methods that avoid major demolition. You won’t have to tear up your entire floor to fix a single pipe problem.
We offer 24/7 emergency service throughout Portage Park and can typically respond within an hour for urgent situations. Water damage gets worse every minute, so fast response is crucial to protecting your property.
When you call us for an emergency, we’ll also walk you through immediate steps you can take to minimize damage while we’re on our way. This might include shutting off your main water supply or moving valuables away from the affected area.
Our emergency service includes the same thorough leak detection process, just delivered faster. We carry all our detection equipment on every service truck, so we can locate and begin repairs immediately rather than scheduling a follow-up appointment.
With our advanced detection equipment and years of experience in Chicago plumbing, we find the source of leaks in over 99% of cases. Our combination of acoustic detection, thermal imaging, and electromagnetic pipeline location covers virtually every possible leak scenario.
If we encounter an unusually complex situation, we have additional specialized equipment we can bring in, including ground-penetrating radar and more sensitive acoustic equipment. We don’t give up until we’ve solved your problem.
Our goal is always to find the leak with the least disruption to your property. We’ve located leaks that other companies missed, and we’ve solved problems that seemed impossible to track down. That’s the difference experience and the right equipment make.
