Our Reviews
No more surprise water bills or mysterious wet spots. Our thermal imaging technology pinpoints leaks behind walls and under floors without tearing up your property.
You get peace of mind knowing exactly where the problem is and what it takes to fix it. Your foundation stays solid, your walls stay dry, and your family stays healthy.
Most Thornton homeowners don’t realize they’re losing thousands of gallons annually to hidden leaks. We stop that waste and save you money every month.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts has served the Chicago area since 2000, including Thornton’s unique plumbing challenges. We understand how Illinois winters cause pipes to freeze and crack, creating slow leaks that gradually worsen.
Our BBB-accredited team knows Thornton’s infrastructure and the specific problems homeowners face in this area. We’ve seen what happens when leaks go undetected in homes near the quarry and throughout Cook County.
You’re not getting a fly-by-night operation. You’re getting two decades of experience fixing exactly the problems your neighbors deal with.
First, we listen. Not just to you, but to your pipes using acoustic equipment that picks up sounds human ears can’t detect.
Next comes thermal imaging. Our cameras see temperature differences that reveal moisture behind walls and under floors. No guessing, no trial and error, no unnecessary holes in your drywall.
We use electromagnetic pipeline locators to pinpoint exact leak locations. Then we map out the affected area and show you exactly what we found. You’ll see the problem on our equipment before we recommend any repairs.

Our service covers everything from slab leaks under your foundation to hidden pipe breaks in walls. We detect leaks in water lines, sewer systems, and underground plumbing that other companies can’t find.
Thornton’s proximity to Chicago means your home deals with the same harsh winters and aging infrastructure that cause pipe problems throughout Cook County. Our equipment handles these local challenges.
We provide detailed moisture mapping, water sensor installation, and comprehensive inspections that identify potential problems before they become disasters. You get a complete picture of your plumbing system’s health.
We use thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature differences caused by moisture behind walls. This technology shows us exactly where water is present without any invasive procedures.
Our infrared equipment picks up heat signatures that reveal wet areas, even small leaks that haven’t caused visible damage yet. We also use acoustic listening devices that hear the sound of water movement inside walls.
This combination of technologies means we can locate your leak precisely and access it through the smallest possible opening, minimizing damage to your property.
Illinois’ freeze-thaw cycles are the biggest culprit. Water in pipes freezes during winter, expands, then contracts as it thaws, gradually weakening pipe joints and creating slow leaks.
Aging infrastructure is another major factor, especially in older Thornton homes where galvanized pipes are reaching the end of their lifespan. High water pressure and poor installation from previous repairs also contribute to leak problems.
Tree roots infiltrating underground pipes are common in this area too, particularly affecting sewer lines and water mains that run under mature landscaping.
We provide true 24/7 emergency service, meaning we’ll respond any time of day or night, weekends and holidays included. Most emergency calls get same-day service.
Our trucks are fully stocked with detection equipment, so we can start the leak location process immediately when we arrive. We understand that water damage gets worse every hour a leak goes undetected.
For urgent situations like flooding or major pipe breaks, we prioritize getting water shut off first, then locate the exact problem so repairs can begin as quickly as possible.
Our non-invasive detection methods are specifically designed to avoid property damage. We use thermal imaging, acoustic equipment, and electromagnetic locators that work without digging or cutting.
When we do need to access a pipe for repair, we use the detection data to make the smallest possible opening in exactly the right spot. No guesswork means minimal disruption to your home or yard.
We also provide detailed moisture mapping that shows the full extent of any existing water damage, so you know exactly what areas need attention during the repair process.
Our thermal imaging cameras can detect temperature differences as small as 0.1 degrees, which means we can spot even minor leaks before they cause significant damage. Acoustic equipment picks up sounds that are completely inaudible to human ears.
Electromagnetic pipeline locators pinpoint pipe locations within inches, so we know exactly where underground lines run and where problems are occurring. This precision eliminates the trial-and-error approach that damages property.
We regularly calibrate and update our equipment to ensure maximum accuracy, and our technicians receive ongoing training on the latest detection technologies and techniques.
Yes, we provide upfront pricing before any work begins. You’ll know exactly what leak detection services cost, with no hidden fees or surprise charges after we locate your problem.
Our estimates include the detection service and a clear explanation of what we’ll be looking for and how we’ll find it. If we discover additional issues during the process, we’ll discuss them with you before proceeding.
We believe in transparent pricing because leak detection is stressful enough without worrying about unexpected costs. You’ll have all the information you need to make informed decisions about your plumbing repairs.
