Our Reviews
You’re dealing with water damage that could be costing you hundreds every month. Maybe you’ve noticed your water bill creeping up, or there’s that damp spot on the wall that won’t go away. Those are warning signs of leaks that are already doing damage.
Our leak detection service finds problems before they become disasters. We use thermal imaging, acoustic equipment, and pressure testing to pinpoint exactly where water is escaping your system. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging, no surprise costs.
When we’re done, you’ll know exactly what’s wrong, where it is, and what it’ll cost to fix. Most importantly, you’ll have stopped the leak from turning into a major flood or foundation problem.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving Chicago Heights plumbing problems for years. We’re not some national chain that doesn’t understand local issues. We know how Chicago’s clay soil shifts and puts pressure on pipes. We understand how the freeze-thaw cycles here create unique leak problems.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your peace of mind matters. When we show up, you’re getting experienced technicians who’ve seen every type of leak problem this area throws at us.
Our trucks are stocked with professional-grade detection equipment, and we’re available 24/7 for emergencies. Because leaks don’t wait for business hours.
First, we listen to your concerns and inspect the obvious signs. High water bills, wet spots, running water sounds—these all give us clues about where to look.
Next, we use specialized equipment to pinpoint the exact location. Thermal cameras show temperature differences where water is escaping. Acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water moving where it shouldn’t be. For underground leaks, we use pressure testing to isolate problem areas.
Once we’ve located the leak, we explain exactly what we found, show you the problem area, and give you a clear estimate for repairs. No hidden costs, no surprises. You’ll know what needs to be done and what it’ll cost before any work begins.

We handle leak detection in walls, underground water leak detection, and underfloor water leak detection. Whether it’s a slab leak under your foundation, a pipe behind drywall, or a service line from the street, we have the equipment to find it.
Chicago Heights homes face unique challenges. The clay soil here expands and contracts with weather changes, putting stress on underground pipes. Older homes often have galvanized pipes that corrode from the inside. Newer construction sometimes has issues with poor installation or settling.
Our detection service covers it all. We’ll check your main water line, branch lines, fixture connections, and even irrigation systems. When we’re done, you’ll have a complete picture of your plumbing system’s condition.
Leak detection typically costs between $150-$400 depending on the complexity and location of the suspected leak. Underground water leak detection and detection in walls usually costs more than basic fixture leaks because they require specialized equipment.
The investment pays for itself quickly when you consider the cost of water damage. A small leak can waste thousands of gallons per month, and major leaks can cause tens of thousands in property damage. Most customers save money within the first month just from stopping the water waste.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we begin.
Most leak detection jobs take 1-3 hours depending on your home’s size and the leak’s location. Simple leaks near fixtures might be found in 30 minutes, while underground water leak detection or complex wall leaks can take several hours.
We don’t rush the process because accuracy matters more than speed. Using thermal imaging and acoustic equipment takes time, but it means we find the exact location without unnecessary damage to your property.
For emergency situations where water is actively flooding, we prioritize stopping the immediate damage first, then locate the source once the crisis is controlled.
Modern leak detection technology eliminates most destructive searching. Our thermal cameras see temperature differences through drywall, and acoustic equipment pinpoints sounds without opening walls.
For underground leaks, we use electronic location equipment that works from the surface. We only need to dig or open walls once we’ve pinpointed the exact location, which minimizes property damage.
In rare cases where access is needed for confirmation, we make the smallest opening possible and coordinate with you about repair options. Our goal is always to minimize disruption to your home while solving the problem completely.
Yes, we specialize in slab leak detection using electronic listening equipment and pressure testing. Slab leaks are common in Chicago Heights because the clay soil movement puts pressure on pipes embedded in concrete.
We can detect leaks in hot water lines, cold water lines, and even sewer lines under slabs. The process involves pressurizing the system and using electronic equipment to pinpoint where water is escaping.
Early detection is crucial for slab leaks because they can undermine your foundation and create major structural problems. If you’re hearing water running when everything’s turned off, or if you have warm spots on floors, those are signs of potential slab leaks that need immediate attention.
Turn off your main water supply immediately if you see active flooding or major water damage. For suspected hidden leaks, check your water meter—if it’s moving when all water is turned off, you definitely have a leak.
Document any visible damage with photos for insurance purposes, and call us for professional leak detection. Don’t wait, because even small leaks cause exponentially more damage over time.
Avoid trying to locate leaks yourself by opening walls or digging. Professional equipment finds leaks accurately without property damage, and you’ll avoid costly repairs from searching in the wrong places.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Chicago Heights and surrounding areas. Water emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we.
For emergency calls, we prioritize stopping immediate water damage first, then locating the source of the problem. Our trucks carry emergency shut-off tools and temporary repair materials to minimize damage while we work.
Emergency service does include additional fees for after-hours calls, but we’ll explain all costs upfront. When you’re dealing with flooding or major water damage, fast professional response saves money by preventing additional property damage.
