Our Reviews
You know something’s wrong. Maybe your water bill jumped for no reason. Maybe you hear water running when everything’s turned off. Maybe there’s a musty smell that won’t go away.
Hidden leaks don’t announce themselves until they’ve already caused serious damage. By the time you see water stains or feel soft spots in your floor, you’re looking at thousands in repairs.
Our leak detection service finds the exact source before the damage spreads. You get a clear answer about what’s happening and where, so you can fix the real problem instead of guessing and hoping.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Chicago’s Loop area with professional plumbing services. We understand the unique challenges of Loop buildings – from century-old structures with aging pipes to modern high-rises with complex water systems.
Our team is licensed, bonded, and insured. We’ve seen every type of leak situation Chicago buildings can throw at us, from frozen pipe damage to foundation settling issues.
When you call us, you’re working with plumbers who know Loop’s infrastructure and can respond quickly to your location. We’re not a national chain – we’re your Chicago neighbors.
First, we listen to your concerns and inspect the obvious areas. We want to understand what you’ve noticed – higher bills, sounds, smells, or visible signs.
Next, we use electronic leak detection equipment to scan walls, floors, and underground areas. This technology picks up the sound of water movement and pressure changes without breaking anything open.
Once we locate the leak, we mark the exact spot and explain what we found. You’ll know precisely where the problem is, how serious it is, and what your repair options are. No guesswork, no unnecessary demolition.

Our leak detection service covers everything from obvious drips to hidden underground leaks. We check inside walls, under floors, behind fixtures, and in your building’s foundation area.
Loop’s older buildings often have leaks in unexpected places – between floors in multi-story buildings, in shared walls, or in service tunnels. Our equipment works in all these situations.
Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles create unique leak patterns. Pipes that seem fine in summer can develop problems when temperatures drop. We know where to look based on your building’s age, construction type, and Chicago’s climate patterns.
We use electronic leak detection equipment that listens for the sound of water movement and measures pressure changes. This technology can pinpoint leaks through concrete, drywall, and flooring materials.
The equipment picks up frequencies that human ears can’t detect. When water moves through a crack or hole, it creates specific sound patterns. Our detectors amplify these sounds so we can trace them to the exact source.
This means we can mark the precise location of your leak before anyone picks up a sledgehammer. You only open up the area that actually needs repair.
We detect leaks in walls, under floors, in ceilings, and underground. This includes supply line leaks, drain leaks, sewer line problems, and foundation leaks.
Loop buildings present unique challenges. Older structures often have galvanized pipes that develop pinhole leaks. Newer buildings might have issues with fitting connections or poor installation. We’ve seen leaks in HVAC condensate lines, fire suppression systems, and shared plumbing between units.
Underground leaks are common in the Loop area due to shifting soil and aging infrastructure. These can affect your building’s foundation if not addressed quickly.
We offer 24/7 emergency service and prioritize urgent leak situations. Response time depends on your exact location and current call volume, but we understand that water damage gets worse every hour.
For emergency situations – like active flooding or leaks near electrical systems – we dispatch immediately. For less urgent detection needs, we typically schedule within 24 hours.
Being locally based in Chicago means we’re never far from the Loop area. We know the fastest routes and can navigate downtown traffic patterns to reach you quickly.
Yes, we provide clear pricing before we begin any leak detection service. You’ll know exactly what the detection service costs, with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
If we find a leak and you want us to repair it, we’ll give you a separate estimate for that work. The detection service and any repairs are priced separately, so you can make informed decisions.
We believe in transparent pricing because we know you’re already dealing with the stress of a potential leak. The last thing you need is uncertainty about what this will cost.
Our detection equipment is highly accurate, but if we can’t locate a leak, you don’t pay for the detection service. However, this rarely happens with modern leak detection technology.
Sometimes what appears to be a leak is actually condensation, humidity issues, or water intrusion from outside sources. We’ll identify these situations and explain what’s actually causing the problem.
If we determine there’s no active leak but you’re still experiencing issues, we’ll discuss other potential causes and recommend appropriate specialists if needed.
Yes, we work with both residential and commercial properties throughout the Loop area. This includes condos, apartments, office buildings, retail spaces, and mixed-use developments.
Commercial properties often have more complex plumbing systems, multiple water meters, and shared infrastructure. We have the equipment and experience to handle these larger-scale detection jobs.
For commercial clients, we understand the importance of minimizing business disruption. We can often work around your operating hours and coordinate with building management to ensure smooth service delivery.
