All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Riverdale and the Chicagoland area with professional plumbing solutions. We are licensed, bonded, and insured, giving you complete protection when we’re working on your property.
Our team understands the unique challenges that Riverdale properties face. From older home plumbing systems to the freeze-thaw cycles that stress underground pipes, we’ve seen it all and know how to handle it right the first time.
You’re not dealing with a fly-by-night operation or someone learning on your dime. We are experienced professionals who show up when we say we will and fix what needs fixing.
First, we assess your situation and listen to what you’ve noticed. Rising water bills, wet spots, unusual sounds, or water where it shouldn’t be all provide important clues about what’s happening.
Next comes the detection work using specialized equipment that can locate leaks through concrete, under floors, and in walls without any demolition. The technology reads pressure changes, moisture levels, and acoustic signatures that pinpoint exactly where water is escaping your plumbing system.
Once the leak location is confirmed, you get a clear explanation of what was found and upfront pricing for the repair. No surprises, no hidden costs, just honest information so you can make the right decision for your property.

Underground water leak detection handles those mysterious wet spots in your yard or unexplained water bill spikes. Our equipment traces your water lines from the meter to your house and identifies exactly where water is escaping underground.
Leak detection in walls finds problems behind drywall, tile, or paneling without cutting holes everywhere. This is crucial for Riverdale homes where winter freeze damage or settling can crack pipes inside walls.
Underfloor water leak detection works under concrete slabs, crawl spaces, and basement floors. These leaks are especially problematic because they can undermine your foundation if not caught early. Our detection process preserves your flooring while locating the exact problem area.
Leak detection typically costs between $200-$500 depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and the type of leak you’re dealing with. Underground leaks in larger yards take more time to trace than a simple wall leak in a bathroom.
The investment makes sense when you consider the alternative. Without professional detection, you might spend thousands digging up your entire yard or tearing apart walls trying to find the problem. Plus, every day a leak continues, you’re paying for wasted water and risking more property damage.
We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No hourly rates that keep climbing or surprise charges after the work is done.
Yes, modern leak detection equipment finds leaks without any digging, cutting, or demolition. The technology uses acoustic sensors, pressure testing, and thermal imaging to locate leaks through concrete, drywall, and soil.
For underground leaks, our equipment traces your water lines and identifies pressure drops or acoustic signatures that indicate where water is escaping. For wall leaks, moisture meters and thermal cameras show exactly where water is accumulating behind surfaces.
This non-invasive approach saves you money on repairs and cleanup. Your landscaping stays intact, your floors don’t get torn up, and you don’t have to repaint walls or replace tile just to find a leak.
Most leak detection jobs take 1-3 hours depending on your property size and plumbing complexity. Simple wall leaks in bathrooms or kitchens are usually located within an hour. Underground leaks in large yards or complex plumbing systems can take longer.
The process is methodical, not rushed. Our technician needs time to properly test different sections of your plumbing system and confirm the exact leak location. Rushing this step leads to missed leaks or wrong locations, which means you’re back to square one.
You’ll get a realistic time estimate upfront based on your specific situation. Emergency leak detection is available 24/7 when you’re dealing with active flooding or major water loss.
Freeze-thaw cycles are the biggest culprit in Riverdale. When temperatures drop below freezing, water in pipes expands and can crack joints or split pipes. The damage often doesn’t show up until spring when the ground thaws.
Older homes deal with aging galvanized pipes that corrode from the inside out. Tree roots are another common problem, especially for sewer lines and water mains. Roots seek out moisture and can crack or completely block underground pipes.
Foundation settling also stresses plumbing connections. As houses settle over time, rigid pipe connections can separate or crack. This is particularly common in Riverdale’s older neighborhoods where homes have been settling for decades.
Insurance coverage for leak detection varies by policy, but many insurers will cover the cost if the leak is causing active damage to your property. The key is proving that detection was necessary to prevent or minimize covered damage.
If you’re dealing with water damage from a hidden leak, your insurance company often wants professional confirmation of the leak source before approving claims. In these cases, leak detection becomes part of the damage assessment process.
The best approach is calling your insurance company first to understand your coverage, then getting the leak detected and documented properly. We provide detailed reports that insurance companies accept for claim documentation.
Your water bill is the most reliable early warning sign. If your usage jumps significantly without explanation, you likely have a leak somewhere. Even small leaks can waste hundreds of gallons per month.
Physical signs include wet spots in your yard that don’t dry out, musty odors in walls or basements, or the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off. You might notice low water pressure, warm spots on floors over heated water lines, or cracks in your foundation.
The water meter test is simple and reliable. Turn off all water in your house, then check if your meter is still moving. If the dial or digital readout changes over 15-20 minutes, water is flowing somewhere it shouldn’t be.
