All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving Chicago’s toughest plumbing problems for years. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your peace of mind matters.
Chicago’s aging water infrastructure creates unique challenges that out-of-town companies don’t understand. We know how old clay pipes behave in Chicago winters. We understand the pressure issues in West Garfield Park buildings. We’ve seen what tree roots do to sewer lines in this neighborhood.
That local knowledge means faster diagnosis, better solutions, and repairs that actually last. When you call us, you’re getting plumbers who know your area inside and out.
First, we listen to your concerns and inspect the obvious spots. High water bills, wet spots, or mysterious sounds all give us clues about where to look.
Next comes the technology. We use electronic leak detection equipment that can hear water moving behind walls and under floors. Thermal imaging shows us temperature differences that reveal hidden moisture. For underground leaks, we have specialized equipment that pinpoints the exact location without digging up your yard.
Once we find the leak, we explain exactly what’s happening and give you upfront pricing for the repair. No surprises, no hidden fees. You decide how to move forward with complete information. Most leak repairs can be completed the same day, getting your life back to normal fast.

We detect leaks wherever they hide in your West Garfield Park property. Wall leaks behind tile and drywall. Underfloor leaks in basements and crawl spaces. Underground water line leaks in your yard or under your foundation.
Chicago’s older homes present unique challenges with mixed pipe materials, settling foundations, and decades of repairs by different contractors. We’ve seen it all and have the right equipment for every situation. Our thermal imaging cameras spot moisture behind finished walls. Electronic listening devices hear the smallest drips. Ground penetrating radar finds underground line breaks without excavation.
Every leak detection service includes a complete report of what we found, photos of problem areas, and clear recommendations for repair. You’ll understand exactly what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it properly.
Leak detection typically costs between $200-$500 depending on your property size and the complexity of finding the leak. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
The cost of detection is minimal compared to the damage a hidden leak can cause. A small wall leak can create thousands in damage within weeks. Underground leaks waste hundreds of gallons daily, driving up your water bills. Early detection saves you money and prevents major repairs.
Most leak detection takes 1-3 hours depending on your property size and where the leak is hiding. Simple leaks near fixtures are often found quickly. Hidden leaks in walls or underground take longer to pinpoint precisely.
We use advanced electronic equipment that speeds up the process significantly. Instead of cutting holes in walls or digging randomly, our technology guides us directly to the problem. This saves time, reduces property damage, and gets your leak fixed faster.
Our goal is always to find your leak in one visit and provide same-day repair when possible. We know you want this problem solved quickly.
Higher than normal water bills are the most common sign of hidden leaks. If your usage hasn’t changed but your bill jumped, you likely have a leak somewhere. Musty odors, especially in basements or bathrooms, often indicate hidden moisture from leaks.
Other signs include wet spots on walls or floors, the sound of running water when nothing is on, and warm spots on floors that could indicate hot water line leaks. Mold growth, peeling paint, or soft spots in walls also suggest water damage from hidden leaks.
Don’t ignore these warning signs. Small leaks become big problems fast, especially in Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles that can turn minor issues into burst pipes.
Yes, our leak detection is completely non-invasive. We use electronic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and other advanced technology to find leaks without cutting holes or removing finishes. You won’t have drywall repair or tile replacement after our detection service.
Our equipment can detect leaks through concrete, behind tile, under hardwood floors, and in finished walls. We only recommend opening walls when absolutely necessary for repair, and we’ll show you exactly why it’s needed before doing any invasive work.
