Our Reviews
You know something’s wrong when your water bill keeps climbing but you can’t find the leak. Maybe you hear water running when everything’s turned off, or you’ve noticed soft spots in your floors.
Hidden leaks don’t fix themselves. They get worse, cost more, and eventually cause the kind of damage that insurance companies love to argue about. We find them before that happens.
Our leak detection service pinpoints exactly where water is escaping your system. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging, no surprise bills later. You get a clear answer about what’s happening and what it’ll take to fix it.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving Chicago area plumbing problems since 2000. We’ve seen what Dixmoor’s aging infrastructure does to homes and businesses.
While other communities worry about occasional leaks, Dixmoor residents deal with 100-year-old pipes that crumble when exposed to air. We understand the unique challenges here because we’ve been responding to emergency calls in this area for over two decades.
Licensed, bonded, and insured, we’re the local team that shows up when you need us most. Our trucks are stocked with the equipment needed to handle everything from small residential leaks to major water line failures.
First, we listen to what you’re experiencing and inspect the obvious areas. Most leaks leave clues, even when they’re hidden behind walls or under concrete.
Next, we use specialized equipment to scan your plumbing system. Our thermal imaging cameras detect temperature changes that indicate water movement. Electromagnetic locators pinpoint pipe locations without digging. Acoustic equipment picks up sounds your ears can’t hear.
Once we locate the source, we explain exactly what we found and what your options are. No technical jargon, no pressure tactics. Just straight information about what’s broken and what it costs to fix it properly.

Our service covers every type of leak that affects Dixmoor properties. Slab leaks under your foundation, pipe leaks inside walls, underground water line breaks, and fixture leaks that waste water and money.
We’re particularly experienced with the challenges Dixmoor’s infrastructure creates. The village has dealt with multiple water main breaks, emergency declarations, and residents going weeks without reliable water service. These community-wide issues often reveal problems in individual properties too.
When we inspect your system, we’re looking for current leaks and potential failure points. Dixmoor’s pipes are under constant stress from age, temperature changes, and ground movement. Finding problems early prevents the kind of catastrophic failures this area has experienced.
We use non-invasive technology that finds leaks without cutting into your walls or floors. Our thermal imaging cameras detect temperature differences that show where water is moving behind surfaces.
Electromagnetic pipeline locators map your pipe locations precisely, so we know exactly where to look. Acoustic listening equipment picks up the sound of water escaping from pipes, even when the leak is tiny.
This approach means we can tell you exactly where the problem is before any demolition starts. You get accurate information about repair costs upfront, not surprises after we’ve already torn into your walls.
The most reliable sign is a water bill that keeps increasing when your usage hasn’t changed. Even small leaks waste thousands of gallons per month, and you’ll see it in your bill before you see water damage.
Listen for the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off. Check your water meter – if it’s moving when no water is being used anywhere in your home, you have a leak somewhere.
Look for soft spots in floors, discolored areas on walls or ceilings, and musty odors that suggest hidden moisture. In Dixmoor’s older homes, these signs often appear near where original plumbing connects to newer additions.
Most residential leak detection takes 1-2 hours, depending on your home’s size and plumbing complexity. We can usually locate the source of obvious problems quickly, but hidden leaks in older systems sometimes require more thorough investigation.
Our pricing is upfront – no surprises or hidden fees. The cost depends on what equipment we need and how extensive the search becomes, but we explain all charges before we start work.
If we find the leak and you hire us for repairs, we typically apply the detection fee toward your repair bill. This approach ensures you’re not paying twice for the same service.
Yes, we specialize in underground leak detection, which is especially important in Dixmoor given the community’s infrastructure challenges. We use ground-penetrating equipment that locates pipes and detects leaks without digging.
Our electromagnetic locators work even on the old cast iron and clay pipes common in this area. We can find leaks in your service line between the street and your home, as well as any underground plumbing on your property.
Given Dixmoor’s history with water line failures, we also check for potential problem areas that might fail soon. It’s better to address weak spots before they become emergency repairs during the next cold snap or ground shift.
We provide 24/7 emergency service because water leaks don’t wait for business hours. When you’re dealing with active water damage or a complete loss of water pressure, every hour matters.
Our emergency response includes immediate leak detection to stop ongoing damage, temporary repairs when possible, and clear communication about what permanent repairs you’ll need. We understand that Dixmoor residents have experienced enough water emergencies.
Emergency calls get priority scheduling, and we stock our trucks with common repair parts so we can often fix problems the same day we find them. No one should have to wait days for water service restoration.
We’ve been working in Dixmoor and the Chicago area since 2000, so we understand the specific challenges your community faces. We’ve responded to emergency calls during the village’s water crises and know how these infrastructure problems affect individual properties.
Our equipment is specifically chosen for the types of leaks common in older Chicagoland communities. We invest in technology that works on cast iron, clay, and mixed-material plumbing systems, not just newer construction.
Most importantly, we don’t use leak detection as a sales tool to push expensive repairs you don’t need. We find the problem, explain your options clearly, and let you decide how to proceed. Your home, your choice, your budget.
