Our Reviews
You’ll know exactly where your leak is located within hours, not days. No more guessing games with sky-high water bills or mysterious wet spots that keep getting worse.
Our non-invasive detection methods mean you won’t come home to torn-up floors or demolished walls. We pinpoint the exact location first, then fix only what needs fixing.
Your home stays protected from the kind of water damage that turns a small leak into a major renovation project. Early detection saves thousands in repair costs and keeps your family safe from mold and structural issues.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc has been serving Park Forest homeowners with reliable plumbing solutions for years. We understand the unique challenges of this area’s aging housing stock, much of it built in 1958.
Park Forest’s older homes often develop leaks in places you’d never think to look. We’ve seen it all in this community – from slab leaks under concrete foundations to pipe failures hidden behind finished walls.
Our local expertise means we know which detection methods work best for different types of Park Forest properties. Whether you’re dealing with a vintage ranch home or a mid-century split-level, we have the right tools and experience to locate your leak quickly.
We start with thermal imaging technology that detects temperature variations caused by water leaks. Our high-resolution infrared cameras can spot moisture buildup behind walls, under floors, and even deep underground without any invasive digging.
Next, we use acoustic detection equipment to listen for the specific sound signatures that water makes when escaping from pipes under pressure. This combination approach gives us pinpoint accuracy, even for the smallest leaks.
For underground water leak detection, we may use additional specialized equipment like moisture meters and hydrophone sensors. Once we’ve located the exact source, we mark it clearly and explain exactly what needs to be repaired before any work begins. You’ll know the full scope and cost before we touch a tool.

Your leak detection service includes a comprehensive inspection using multiple detection methods – thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, and moisture detection equipment. We don’t rely on just one method because Park Forest homes present unique challenges.
Many properties in Park Forest have pipes running through concrete slabs or behind finished walls that have been in place for decades. Our equipment can detect leaks in these hard-to-reach areas without causing damage to your home’s structure or finishes.
You’ll receive a detailed report showing exactly where any leaks are located, along with digital images from our thermal cameras when applicable. We explain what we found in plain English and provide upfront pricing for any necessary repairs. No surprises, no hidden costs – just honest answers about your plumbing system’s condition.
Thermal imaging is highly accurate for detecting water leaks, especially when we combine it with acoustic sensors and moisture meters like we do at All Rooter. The technology detects temperature differences caused by moisture buildup, even behind drywall or plaster.
For hot water leaks, thermal imaging is particularly effective because the escaping warm water creates a distinct heat signature that our infrared cameras easily identify. Even small leaks show up as temperature variations that trained technicians can spot right away.
The key is using professional-grade equipment and having the experience to interpret what the thermal images actually mean. We’ve been using this technology in Park Forest homes for years and can quickly distinguish between actual leaks and other heat sources.
Yes, we can locate most underground water leaks without any digging using a combination of acoustic detection and thermal imaging technology. Our acoustic equipment listens for the specific sound that pressurized water makes when escaping from buried pipes.
For deeper leaks, we use specialized ground microphones that can detect leak sounds through soil and concrete. Thermal imaging helps too – underground leaks often create temperature patterns on the surface that our infrared cameras can identify.
Once we pinpoint the exact location, we mark it clearly so any necessary excavation is minimal and targeted. Instead of digging up your entire yard hoping to find the problem, we dig in one specific spot. This saves you money on both detection and repair costs.
The most common sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill, even when your usage habits haven’t changed. Many Park Forest homeowners call us after seeing their bills jump 20-30% or more without any obvious reason.
You might also notice damp spots on floors, water stains on walls or ceilings, or musty odors that seem to come from nowhere. Sometimes you’ll hear water running when all fixtures are turned off, or notice that your water pressure has decreased throughout the house.
In Park Forest’s older homes, we often find leaks that have been going on for months before homeowners realize there’s a problem. The key is not to ignore these warning signs – early detection prevents major water damage and keeps repair costs manageable.
Most leak detection inspections take 1-3 hours depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the plumbing system. We don’t rush the process because accuracy is more important than speed when you’re dealing with potential water damage.
For a typical Park Forest home, we can usually complete thermal imaging of the main areas and acoustic testing of the plumbing system within 2 hours. If we need to investigate specific areas more thoroughly or check underground lines, it might take a bit longer.
The time investment upfront saves you days or weeks of guessing where a leak might be. Once we locate the problem, repairs can often be completed the same day, especially for accessible leaks that don’t require major excavation or wall removal.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Park Forest because water leaks don’t wait for business hours. If you’re seeing active water damage or your water meter is spinning even with everything turned off, that’s an emergency situation.
Emergency leak detection follows the same thorough process, but we prioritize speed to minimize water damage to your home. We can often locate emergency leaks within the first hour and begin immediate repairs to stop the water flow.
For Park Forest homeowners, emergency service is especially important because many homes have finished basements or valuable flooring that can be destroyed quickly by water. The sooner we find and stop the leak, the less damage you’ll face and the lower your repair costs will be.
Acoustic leak detection listens for the sound that escaping water makes when it’s under pressure in your pipes. This method works especially well for pressurized water lines and can detect leaks through walls, floors, and even underground through several feet of soil.
Thermal imaging detects temperature differences caused by water leaks, showing up as heat patterns on our infrared cameras. This method is particularly effective for hot water leaks and can identify moisture buildup behind walls or under floors before visible damage appears.
We use both methods together because they complement each other perfectly. Acoustic detection tells us there’s a leak and gives us a general area, while thermal imaging pinpoints the exact location. This combination approach gives Park Forest homeowners the most accurate results and prevents unnecessary exploratory work.
