Our Reviews
You’ll sleep better knowing that hidden leak isn’t silently destroying your foundation or racking up hundreds in wasted water costs. Our advanced acoustic and thermal detection equipment finds leaks with 95% accuracy, so you get answers fast without guesswork.
No more wondering if that damp spot means disaster. No more watching your water bill climb while the problem gets worse. We locate the exact source quickly and give you a clear plan to fix it right the first time.
Your home stays intact during the process. Our non-invasive methods mean we find the problem without tearing up floors, walls, or landscaping that you’ll have to pay to replace later.
We at All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. have been serving the Chicago area with reliable plumbing solutions that actually work. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your peace of mind matters as much as fixing the problem.
Hazel Crest’s aging infrastructure and shifting clay soils create unique challenges that generic plumbers miss. We understand how 30+ year old copper pipes behave in this area and why slab leaks happen more frequently here than in other regions.
We bring professional-grade equipment and transparent pricing to every job. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start, and you’ll get the kind of service that makes you confident you called the right company.
First, we assess your situation and use electronic listening equipment to narrow down the leak’s location. This acoustic detection method picks up the sound of water escaping from pipes, even through concrete and soil.
Next, we confirm the exact spot using thermal imaging technology that detects temperature differences caused by leaking water. This combination gives us pinpoint accuracy without any digging or demolition.
Finally, we mark the precise location and explain your repair options with upfront pricing. You’ll understand exactly what needs to happen and what it costs before any work begins. Most customers are surprised how quickly we can locate problems that have been mysterious for months.

Our leak detection service covers water leaks in walls, underground pipe leaks, slab leaks under your foundation, and hidden leaks behind fixtures. We use multiple detection methods because different leak types require different approaches.
Hazel Crest homes face specific challenges with shifting clay soils that stress pipe joints and cause slab leaks. These foundation leaks can cost $2,000 to $5,000 if left untreated, but early detection prevents that expensive damage.
Wall leaks and underground pipe leaks often go unnoticed until significant damage occurs. Our thermal and acoustic equipment finds these problems while they’re still manageable, saving you from major reconstruction costs and water waste that can add hundreds to your annual water bill.
Professional acoustic leak detection achieves 95% accuracy in locating the exact source of leaks, compared to traditional guessing methods that often result in multiple excavation attempts. Our electronic listening equipment detects the specific sound frequency of water escaping from pipes, even through concrete, soil, and walls.
This precision means we typically locate leaks on the first attempt, saving you from unnecessary property damage and multiple service calls. The technology works by amplifying the sound of pressurized water escaping through pipe breaks, creating a distinct audio signature that trained technicians can pinpoint within inches.
Without professional detection, homeowners often spend thousands on exploratory digging or wall removal, only to discover the leak is several feet away from where they suspected.
Unexplained increases in your water bill are the most common early warning sign of underground leaks. A single pinhole leak can waste 6,000 to 10,000 gallons annually, adding $100 to $500 to your water costs. You might also notice wet spots in your yard that don’t dry out, even during dry weather.
Foundation cracks, shifting or settling in your home’s structure, and the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off are serious indicators of slab leaks. These underground leaks are particularly problematic in Hazel Crest due to the area’s clay soil conditions that shift and stress pipe joints.
Low water pressure throughout your home, warm spots on floors (indicating hot water line leaks), or musty odors can also signal hidden leaks. The sooner you address these signs, the less damage and expense you’ll face.
Yes, our thermal imaging and acoustic detection methods locate leaks inside walls without any demolition or property damage. Thermal cameras detect temperature differences caused by water leaks, showing us exactly where moisture is present behind walls, while acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water escaping from pipes.
This non-invasive approach saves you 70% compared to traditional methods that require cutting into walls to find leaks. We only recommend opening walls after we’ve pinpointed the exact location, which means minimal repair work and lower overall costs.
The technology is so precise that we can often determine whether the leak is in a hot or cold water line, how severe it is, and the best repair approach before any demolition begins. This prevents the frustration and expense of opening multiple wall sections to locate one leak.
Emergency leak detection typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your property size and the leak’s location. Our 24/7 emergency service means we respond quickly when you’re dealing with active water damage or rapidly worsening situations.
For urgent situations like burst pipes or major slab leaks, we prioritize stopping the immediate water flow first, then use our detection equipment to assess the full extent of the problem. This prevents further damage while we develop a comprehensive repair plan.
During emergencies, our acoustic detection equipment works faster than thermal imaging because it doesn’t require setup time or ideal temperature conditions. We can locate most emergency leaks within the first hour, giving you immediate answers when every minute counts for preventing additional property damage.
Slab leaks occur in water lines that run underneath your home’s concrete foundation, while other underground leaks happen in yard lines, service lines, or pipes buried in crawl spaces. Slab leaks are more serious because they can undermine your foundation and are harder to access for repairs.
In Hazel Crest, slab leaks are particularly problematic due to shifting clay soils that stress pipe joints over time. These leaks can cost $2,000 to $5,000 to repair if left untreated, compared to yard line leaks that typically cost much less to fix.
Slab leak symptoms include warm spots on floors, cracks in walls or floors, higher water bills, and the sound of running water when all fixtures are off. Underground yard leaks usually show up as soggy areas in your landscape or unexplained water bill increases without interior symptoms.
Yes, our preventative leak detection inspections are especially valuable for Hazel Crest homes over 30 years old, where aging copper pipes are more susceptible to corrosion and leaks. These annual inspections can reduce your leak risk by 80% by catching small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
During preventative inspections, we check all accessible water lines, test water pressure, and use acoustic equipment to listen for early signs of pipe stress or minor leaks. We also inspect areas prone to leaks in older homes, such as pipe joints, connections under sinks, and areas where pipes pass through foundations.
The inspection includes a detailed report of your plumbing system’s condition and recommendations for any maintenance that could prevent future problems. Many homeowners find that catching issues early through these inspections saves thousands compared to emergency repairs and water damage restoration.
