Our Reviews
You know that sinking feeling when you spot water stains on your ceiling or notice your water bill creeping higher each month. Those aren’t just minor annoyances—they’re warning signs of hidden leaks that could be silently destroying your home right now.
Professional leak detection in Skokie means catching these problems while they’re still manageable. Instead of dealing with thousands in water damage, mold remediation, and structural repairs, you get peace of mind knowing your plumbing system is sound.
When we find and fix leaks early, you avoid the nightmare scenarios: flooded basements, rotted floor joists, and insurance headaches. Your home stays dry, your bills stay reasonable, and you sleep better knowing your biggest investment is protected.
We at All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. have been solving plumbing problems for Skokie homeowners who need results, not excuses. We understand the unique challenges of this area—from older homes with aging pipes to the freeze-thaw cycles that can wreak havoc on your plumbing.
Skokie’s mix of historic properties and newer construction means every leak detection job is different. We’ve seen it all: burst pipes in century-old bungalows, slab leaks in mid-century homes, and hidden wall leaks in modern condos.
You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all approach. Our licensed, bonded, and insured team brings the right equipment and experience to handle whatever your Skokie home throws at us.
Forget the days of guessing where leaks are hiding. We start with advanced acoustic equipment that listens for the distinct sounds of escaping water, even through walls and concrete slabs.
Our thermal imaging cameras detect temperature differences that reveal moisture behind surfaces. If water is leaking somewhere, it creates a temperature signature that our equipment picks up immediately. No demolition required.
For underground water leak detection or complex situations, we use electronic leak detection that pinpoints the exact location. Once we know where the problem is, we explain exactly what we found and give you a clear plan to fix it. You’ll see the leak on our equipment before we start any repairs, so there are no surprises about what needs to be done.

Whether you’re dealing with underfloor water leak detection, leak detection in walls, or underground water leak detection, we have the technology to find it. Our service includes acoustic detection for pipes behind walls, thermal imaging for moisture in ceilings and floors, and electronic location for slab and underground leaks.
Skokie homeowners face specific challenges that make professional leak detection essential. The area’s older infrastructure means many homes have galvanized pipes that are prone to corrosion and failure. Winter freeze-thaw cycles put additional stress on plumbing systems, especially in homes without proper insulation.
We also handle emergency leak detection when you need answers immediately. Burst pipes, sudden water pressure drops, and unexplained flooding require fast, accurate diagnosis. Our 24/7 emergency service means you don’t have to wait until Monday morning when water is actively damaging your home.
We use acoustic leak detection equipment that amplifies the sound of water escaping from pipes, even through drywall and insulation. The equipment is sensitive enough to pick up the distinct sounds that leaks make—whether it’s a steady drip or the hiss of water under pressure.
Thermal imaging cameras also detect temperature differences caused by moisture. When water leaks behind a wall, it creates a cooler or warmer spot that shows up clearly on our thermal camera. This lets us pinpoint the exact location of the leak without any exploratory demolition.
These non-invasive methods save you the cost and hassle of unnecessary wall repairs. We can usually locate the leak within a few feet, so any repair work is minimal and targeted.
Higher water bills without increased usage are often the first sign of a hidden leak. If your bill has jumped 20% or more without explanation, you likely have water escaping somewhere in your system.
Water stains on ceilings, walls, or floors are obvious red flags, but don’t wait for visible damage. Musty odors, especially in basements or crawl spaces, often indicate moisture problems from slow leaks. You might also notice reduced water pressure, the sound of running water when fixtures are off, or warm spots on floors over slab leaks.
Skokie’s older homes are particularly susceptible to pipe failures, especially during temperature swings. If your home was built before 1980 and you haven’t had the plumbing updated, regular leak detection can catch problems before they become emergencies.
Most residential leak detection takes 1-3 hours, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the plumbing system. We start with a consultation to understand what symptoms you’ve noticed and where you suspect problems might be.
The actual detection process involves systematically checking your plumbing system with acoustic equipment, thermal imaging, and electronic detection tools. We’ll test water pressure, check meter readings, and scan areas where leaks commonly occur—around water heaters, under sinks, in basements, and along exterior walls.
You’ll see everything we find in real time. Our equipment displays the results immediately, so you can watch as we locate the source of the problem. We provide a detailed report of our findings and explain your repair options before any work begins.
Slab leak detection is one of our specialties, and it’s particularly important in Skokie where many homes have concrete slab foundations. We use electronic amplification equipment that can detect the sound of water escaping from pipes buried under several feet of concrete.
The process involves placing sensitive listening devices at strategic points around your home’s foundation. These devices pick up the acoustic signature of leaks—even small ones that aren’t causing visible problems yet. We can usually pinpoint the location within a few feet.
For slab leaks, early detection is crucial because the longer they go undetected, the more damage they cause to your foundation and the more expensive repairs become. We can often detect slab leaks before you notice any symptoms, which saves thousands in foundation and flooring repairs.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency leak detection because water damage doesn’t wait for business hours. If you’re dealing with sudden flooding, burst pipes, or rapidly dropping water pressure, we can dispatch a technician immediately to locate the source of the problem.
Emergency situations require fast, accurate diagnosis to minimize damage. Our mobile equipment allows us to quickly assess the situation and pinpoint leaks so repairs can begin immediately. We understand that every minute counts when water is actively damaging your property.
For true emergencies, we can often provide same-day service. Our goal is to stop the water damage first, then provide a comprehensive plan for permanent repairs. We also work directly with insurance companies to document damage and ensure proper coverage for your claim.
Many plumbers still rely on guesswork and trial-and-error methods that can mean cutting into multiple walls or digging up large areas to find leaks. Our technology-based approach pinpoints problems before any demolition begins, which saves you money on unnecessary repairs.
We use professional-grade acoustic equipment, thermal imaging cameras, and electronic detection systems—the same technology used by major utilities and commercial leak detection specialists. This equipment is far more sensitive and accurate than basic listening devices or moisture meters that some contractors use.
Our systematic approach also means we check your entire plumbing system, not just the obvious problem areas. We often find multiple issues that could cause future problems, allowing you to address everything at once rather than dealing with repeated service calls and repairs.
