Our Reviews
You know something’s wrong when your water bill jumps for no reason, or you hear water running when everything’s turned off. Maybe you’ve spotted a damp spot on the wall, or there’s that musty smell that won’t go away.
Hidden leaks don’t announce themselves until they’ve already caused serious damage. By the time you see water stains or feel soft spots in your floor, you’re looking at thousands in repairs. Our leak detection service finds problems while they’re still manageable.
We use acoustic equipment, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to pinpoint exactly where water is escaping. No guesswork. No tearing up walls hoping we find something. Just precise detection that saves you time, money, and the headache of major water damage restoration.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Berwyn and the greater Chicago area with reliable plumbing solutions. We understand the unique challenges that come with Chicago’s older infrastructure and weather extremes that stress plumbing systems.
Our team is licensed, bonded, and insured, bringing years of experience to every job. We know Berwyn’s housing stock, from the vintage bungalows to newer construction, and the specific leak issues each type of property faces.
When you call us, you’re working with professionals who live and work in this community. We’ve seen how quickly a small leak can turn into a major problem in Chicago’s climate, and we’re committed to helping you avoid that scenario entirely.
First, we listen. You tell us what you’ve noticed – the running water sound, the spike in your bill, the damp smell. This helps us focus our investigation on the most likely problem areas.
Next, we use professional-grade detection equipment. Acoustic sensors pick up the sound of water escaping from pipes, even behind walls. Thermal imaging shows temperature differences that reveal moisture. Pressure testing isolates sections of your plumbing to pinpoint exactly where pressure drops occur.
Once we locate the leak, we explain exactly what we found and what it’ll take to fix it. You get upfront pricing before any repair work begins. No surprises, no inflated emergency rates. Just honest assessment and fair pricing for the work that actually needs to be done.

Our leak detection service covers every type of water leak you might face in your Berwyn property. We find leaks in walls using acoustic detection that doesn’t require demolition. Underground water leak detection uses specialized equipment to locate problems beneath your foundation or in your yard.
Berwyn’s aging infrastructure means many homes deal with pipe corrosion, especially in properties built in the mid-20th century. The freeze-thaw cycles we experience here put additional stress on plumbing systems, creating weak points that eventually fail.
We also handle underfloor water leak detection, which is particularly important for Berwyn’s many slab-on-grade homes. These leaks can cause foundation settling and expensive structural repairs if not caught early. Our thermal imaging and pressure testing methods locate these problems without damaging your flooring.
Several signs point to hidden leaks in your home. An unexplained increase in your water bill is often the first indicator – if your usage hasn’t changed but your bill has jumped, water is going somewhere it shouldn’t.
You might hear the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off, especially at night when the house is quiet. Damp or soft spots on walls, floors, or ceilings are obvious red flags. A persistent musty odor, even after cleaning, often indicates moisture where it doesn’t belong.
Check your water meter with all water sources turned off. If the meter continues to move, you have a leak somewhere in your system. Don’t ignore these warning signs – early detection prevents major damage and costly repairs.
We use professional-grade acoustic equipment that detects the sound of water escaping from pipes, even through concrete or behind walls. This technology is sensitive enough to pinpoint leaks without requiring destructive investigation.
Thermal imaging cameras show temperature differences that reveal moisture problems. Water leaks create cooler spots that are invisible to the naked eye but clearly visible with infrared technology. This is especially useful for detecting leaks in walls and under floors.
Pressure testing equipment isolates sections of your plumbing system to determine exactly where pressure loss occurs. We can test your entire system or focus on specific areas based on your symptoms. This combination of technologies gives us precise location information without guesswork or unnecessary property damage.
Leak detection costs depend on the complexity of your situation and the type of equipment needed. A basic acoustic detection service for a suspected wall leak costs less than comprehensive underground leak detection that requires multiple technologies.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. You’ll know exactly what the detection service costs, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. If we find a leak and you choose us for the repair, we often credit part of the detection fee toward the repair cost.
Consider that professional leak detection typically costs a fraction of what you’d spend on water damage restoration. Finding a $200 leak early prevents thousands in structural repairs, mold remediation, and property restoration. It’s an investment that pays for itself many times over.
Yes, we specialize in detecting leaks beneath concrete slabs, which is crucial for many Berwyn homes built on slab foundations. Slab leaks are particularly problematic because they can cause foundation settling and structural damage if left untreated.
We use acoustic detection to listen for the sound of water under your slab. The equipment is sensitive enough to pinpoint the leak location without breaking up concrete unnecessarily. Thermal imaging also helps by showing temperature variations in your floor that indicate moisture beneath the slab.
Pressure testing isolates the problem to specific sections of your under-slab plumbing. This combination of technologies allows us to mark the exact location for repair, minimizing the concrete work needed and reducing your overall repair costs. Early detection of slab leaks prevents much more expensive foundation and flooring repairs.
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services because water leaks don’t wait for business hours. A burst pipe or major leak can cause thousands of dollars in damage in just a few hours, especially in Berwyn’s older homes with hardwood floors and plaster walls.
When you call for emergency service, we respond quickly to assess the situation and locate the source of the problem. Our emergency service includes immediate water shut-off guidance over the phone while we’re en route to your property.
We carry detection equipment in our emergency vehicles, so we can locate and begin addressing leaks immediately upon arrival. Emergency situations require fast action, and our goal is to minimize water damage while solving the underlying problem. You don’t pay premium emergency rates for detection services – our pricing remains fair even during urgent situations.
Once we locate your leak, we explain exactly what we found and show you the problem area. You’ll understand what caused the leak, how extensive the damage might be, and what repair options you have.
We provide detailed upfront pricing for any repair work needed. You’re never pressured to make immediate decisions – we want you to feel confident about the solution. If the repair is straightforward, we can often handle it the same day. More complex repairs might require scheduling a return visit with specialized equipment.
We also discuss prevention strategies to help you avoid similar problems in the future. This might include recommendations for pipe maintenance, water pressure adjustment, or monitoring techniques. Our goal is solving your immediate problem and helping you prevent future leaks from occurring.
