Your South Barrington home represents a significant investment. Our leak detection service protects that investment by catching problems early, when repairs cost hundreds instead of thousands.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts has been serving South Barrington and the greater Chicago area for over 25 years. We understand the unique challenges that come with this area’s older homes, septic systems, and seasonal weather patterns that put extra stress on plumbing.
South Barrington’s high property values mean you can’t afford to take chances with water damage. That’s why we invested in the most advanced leak detection equipment available – thermal imaging cameras and acoustic listening devices that locate problems without invasive digging or wall demolition.
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured, with 24/7 emergency availability because water doesn’t wait for business hours.
First, we use thermal imaging cameras to scan your walls, floors, and ceilings for temperature variations that indicate moisture. These cameras detect the subtle temperature differences that occur when water leaks behind surfaces, showing us exactly where to focus our attention.
Next, we deploy acoustic listening equipment that picks up the sound of water escaping from pipes. Even tiny leaks create distinctive sounds that our sensitive equipment can detect and pinpoint to within inches of the actual source.
Finally, we provide you with a detailed report of our findings, including photos and recommendations for repair. You’ll know exactly where the problem is, how serious it is, and what it will take to fix it before any work begins.

Our leak detection services cover every area of your South Barrington property. We locate leaks in walls, under floors, in underground water lines, and throughout your plumbing system using the latest non-destructive technology.
South Barrington homes often deal with unique challenges like septic systems, underground utilities, and the seasonal ground movement that comes with Illinois weather. Our local experience means we know where problems typically develop and how to find them quickly.
Whether you’re dealing with a mysterious increase in your water bill, damp spots that won’t dry, or you just want peace of mind about your plumbing system’s condition, our comprehensive leak detection service gives you the answers you need to protect your property investment.
Thermal imaging leak detection is extremely accurate, typically locating leaks within a few inches of the actual source. The technology works by detecting temperature differences created when water escapes from pipes – hot water leaks show up as warmer areas, while cold water leaks appear as cooler zones.
In South Barrington’s established homes, thermal imaging is particularly effective because it can see through walls, floors, and ceilings without any damage to your property. This is crucial when you’re dealing with expensive finishes and want to avoid unnecessary repair costs.
The technology works best when combined with acoustic detection, which is why we use both methods together to give you the most precise leak location possible.
Yes, we can locate most underground water leaks without any excavation using acoustic listening equipment and ground-penetrating technology. Our acoustic devices detect the sound of water escaping from underground pipes, even when the leak is several feet below the surface.
For South Barrington properties with underground utilities and septic systems, this non-invasive approach is essential. We can pinpoint the leak location and mark it precisely, so if any digging is necessary, it’s minimal and targeted to the exact problem area.
This saves you from the expense and disruption of exploratory digging, protects your landscaping and hardscaping, and gets your water system back to normal as quickly as possible.
We provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout South Barrington and can typically respond within hours of your call. Water damage doesn’t wait for convenient timing, and neither do we.
Our rapid response is especially important in South Barrington’s high-value homes where every hour of continued leaking can mean hundreds or thousands of dollars in additional damage. The sooner we locate the source, the sooner you can stop the water and begin proper repairs.
We keep our leak detection equipment ready and our technicians on call because we understand that finding the leak quickly is often more important than the actual repair work – you can’t fix what you can’t find.
Acoustic leak detection listens for the sound of water escaping from pipes, while thermal imaging detects temperature changes caused by moisture. Each method has specific strengths, which is why we use both together for the most accurate results.
Acoustic detection works exceptionally well for pressurized pipes and can pinpoint leaks in underground lines or behind walls where you can’t see any visual signs. Thermal imaging excels at detecting moisture accumulation and works great for slab leaks, wall leaks, and areas where water has pooled.
In South Barrington homes, we often encounter situations where one method confirms what the other detected, giving you complete confidence in the leak location before any repair work begins.
No, our modern leak detection methods are completely non-invasive and won’t damage your walls, floors, or any other part of your property. We specifically invested in thermal imaging and acoustic equipment to avoid the old-fashioned approach of cutting exploratory holes.
This is particularly important in South Barrington’s upscale homes where you have expensive finishes, custom work, or historical details that can’t be easily replaced. Our technology lets us see and hear through surfaces without disturbing them.
The only time we recommend any invasive work is after we’ve pinpointed the exact leak location, and even then, we make the smallest possible access point needed to complete the repair properly.
Leak detection costs vary depending on the size of your property and complexity of the search, but the investment typically pays for itself by preventing major water damage. Most South Barrington homeowners find that early leak detection saves them thousands compared to dealing with structural damage later.
We provide upfront pricing before beginning any work, so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges – just honest, transparent pricing for professional leak detection services.
Consider that a single undetected leak can waste hundreds of gallons of water monthly and cause damage that costs tens of thousands to repair. Professional leak detection is one of the smartest investments you can make in protecting your South Barrington property.
