Our Reviews
You shouldn’t have to destroy your walls or dig up your yard just to find a leak. Our advanced leak detection equipment pinpoints exactly where water is escaping—in walls, under floors, or underground—without any demolition.
When we’re done, you’ll know exactly where the problem is and what it’ll cost to fix it. No guesswork. No surprise bills later. Just clear answers so you can make the right decision for your property.
That high water bill finally makes sense. Those mysterious wet spots get explained. And you can sleep better knowing you caught the problem before it turned into a major disaster.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Hyde Park and the greater Chicago area with professional plumbing services. We understand the unique challenges of Chicago’s older homes and buildings—from aging pipe systems to ground shifts that create underground leaks.
Our team is licensed, bonded, and insured, with the advanced equipment needed to detect leaks that other companies miss. We’ve seen how Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles affect plumbing systems and know exactly what to look for in local properties.
When you call us, you’re getting technicians who’ve worked on hundreds of similar properties in your neighborhood. We know what works, what doesn’t, and how to get the job done right the first time.
First, we’ll ask about your symptoms—high water bills, wet spots, sounds of running water when everything’s turned off. This helps narrow down where to start looking.
Next comes the detection work. We use electronic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and pressure testing equipment to pinpoint the exact location of your leak. For underground leaks, we might use ground-penetrating radar or tracer gas detection.
Once we find the leak, you’ll get a clear explanation of what’s wrong, where it is, and what your repair options are. We’ll provide upfront pricing for the fix, so you can decide how to move forward. No pressure, just information you need to make the right choice.

Our service includes detection for all types of water leaks: in walls, under slabs, in ceilings, and underground. We handle residential and commercial properties throughout Hyde Park and surrounding Chicago neighborhoods.
Hyde Park’s mix of historic homes and newer construction presents unique challenges. Older homes often have galvanized pipes that develop pinhole leaks, while newer properties might have issues with pipe joints or fixture connections. Our team has experience with both scenarios and the right tools for each situation.
You’ll receive a detailed report showing exactly where the leak is located, along with photos when possible. This documentation is helpful for insurance claims and gives you a clear picture of what needs to be repaired.
Leak detection typically ranges from $200 to $500, depending on the complexity of your property and the type of leak. Simple leaks in accessible areas cost less to detect than underground or in-wall leaks that require specialized equipment.
The investment usually pays for itself quickly. Finding a leak early can save thousands in water damage repairs, not to mention the money you’ll save on your water bill once the leak is fixed. Most customers find that the detection fee is a small price to pay for peace of mind and avoiding major property damage.
Yes, modern leak detection equipment can locate most leaks in walls without any demolition. We use electronic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and moisture meters to pinpoint the exact location of the leak from the outside of the wall.
In some cases, we might need to make a small access hole to confirm the exact location, but this is much less invasive than the old method of cutting large sections of drywall. Our goal is always to minimize damage to your property while accurately locating the problem.
Most leak detection jobs take 1-3 hours, depending on the size of your property and the complexity of the leak. Simple leaks in accessible areas can often be found within an hour, while underground or complex in-wall leaks might take longer.
We’ll give you a time estimate when we arrive and see your specific situation. We work efficiently but thoroughly—rushing through leak detection often means missing the problem entirely, which defeats the purpose of the service.
The most common signs are unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, wet or soft spots on walls or floors, musty odors, or visible water stains. You might also notice your water meter running when no water is being used.
Don’t wait if you’re seeing these signs. Water leaks get worse over time, not better. What starts as a small leak can quickly turn into major water damage, mold growth, or structural problems. Early detection saves money and prevents bigger headaches down the road.
Yes, All Rooter provides 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Hyde Park and the Chicago area. Water emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Emergency service is especially important for major leaks that could cause immediate property damage. If you’re dealing with flooding, rapidly increasing water damage, or a leak that’s affecting your electrical systems, don’t wait—call immediately. Quick action can mean the difference between a manageable repair and a major disaster.
Once the leak is located, you’ll receive a detailed explanation of the problem and your repair options. We provide upfront pricing for the repair work, so you know exactly what it will cost before any work begins.
You’re not obligated to have us do the repair work, but most customers appreciate the convenience of working with the same company that found the leak. We already understand your specific situation and have the expertise to fix it properly. The choice is always yours, and there’s no pressure either way.
