Our Reviews
That mysterious water bill spike isn’t normal. Neither is that musty smell or soft spot on your floor. These are your home’s way of telling you there’s a hidden leak somewhere, and it’s getting worse every day.
When you catch leaks early, you avoid the nightmare scenarios. No rotted floor joists. No mold remediation. No insurance claims for water damage. Just a quick repair and peace of mind knowing your home is protected.
Our advanced leak detection technology pinpoints problems with surgical precision. We find leaks behind walls, under concrete slabs, and deep underground without destroying your property in the process.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving Chicago’s toughest plumbing challenges for years. We understand Mount Prospect’s unique infrastructure – from the vintage homes with aging pipes to newer construction with modern systems.
We know how Illinois weather affects your plumbing. We’ve seen how freeze-thaw cycles stress pipe joints and how shifting soil can compromise underground lines. This local expertise means faster diagnosis and more effective solutions.
Licensed, bonded, and insured, we bring professional-grade equipment and transparent pricing to every job. No surprises, no upselling – just honest service from neighbors who understand what Mount Prospect homeowners face.
First, we listen. Our acoustic sensors detect the sound of water escaping from pipes, even through concrete and soil. These devices pick up frequencies your ear can’t hear, guiding us to the general area of the problem.
Next, we see what’s invisible. Thermal imaging cameras reveal temperature differences caused by water. A leak behind your wall shows up as a cool spot on our screen. Underground leaks create warm patches in winter, cool spots in summer.
Finally, we confirm and locate precisely. Using pressure testing and video inspection when needed, we pinpoint the exact location of your leak. Then we explain what we found, what it means, and your repair options – all before any work begins.

Our leak detection service covers every scenario Mount Prospect homeowners face. Slab leaks under concrete foundations, pipe leaks behind finished walls, underground service line problems, and mysterious leaks that show up on your water bill but nowhere else.
Mount Prospect’s clay soil can shift and settle, putting stress on underground pipes. Our ground-penetrating radar and acoustic equipment excel at finding these deep leaks without excavating your entire yard. We’ve located leaks under driveways, beneath landscaping, and even under pool decks.
For older Mount Prospect homes with galvanized or cast iron pipes, our thermal imaging catches problems before they become emergencies. We detect corrosion patterns, joint failures, and pinhole leaks that traditional methods miss. Early detection means smaller repairs and lower costs.
We use non-invasive technology that finds leaks without demolition. Our acoustic sensors listen for the sound of escaping water through walls, floors, and underground. Thermal imaging cameras detect temperature changes caused by moisture, showing us exactly where water is hiding.
Ground-penetrating radar maps underground pipes and identifies problem areas before we dig. This combination of technologies means we can pinpoint leaks with incredible accuracy while keeping your property intact. You won’t need to repair walls, replace flooring, or reseed your lawn after we’re done.
The most common sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill. If your usage hasn’t changed but your bill has jumped, there’s likely a leak somewhere in your system. You might also notice musty odors, especially in basements or near walls where pipes run.
Physical signs include soft or spongy spots in flooring, discolored patches on walls or ceilings, and unexplained wet areas in your yard. Some leaks create a subtle sound of running water when all fixtures are off. Trust your instincts – if something seems off with your plumbing, it probably is.
Today’s leak detection technology is remarkably precise. Our acoustic equipment can detect leaks through several feet of concrete or soil. Thermal imaging shows temperature differences as small as a degree, revealing leaks behind walls that would otherwise require extensive demolition to find.
When we combine multiple technologies – acoustic, thermal, and pressure testing – we can locate leaks within inches of their actual position. This accuracy means minimal disruption to your property and faster repairs. We’re so confident in our detection methods that we guarantee our location findings.
Yes, our equipment works on all pipe materials common in Mount Prospect homes – copper, PVC, cast iron, galvanized steel, and PEX. We detect leaks in water supply lines, sewer pipes, and even radiant heating systems under floors.
Location doesn’t matter either. We find leaks under concrete slabs, behind finished walls, beneath landscaping, and deep underground. Our technology adapts to different environments, whether you have a vintage home with cast iron pipes or new construction with modern materials. Each situation requires specific techniques, and we have the tools for all of them.
We offer 24/7 emergency service because water damage doesn’t wait for business hours. For true emergencies – like a burst pipe or active flooding – we typically respond within hours. Our goal is to stop the damage and begin the detection process as quickly as possible.
For non-emergency situations, we usually schedule service within 24-48 hours. The actual detection process is often completed the same day, depending on the complexity of your plumbing system. We understand that hidden leaks create anxiety, so we prioritize quick response times to give you answers and peace of mind.
Once we locate your leak, we explain exactly what we found and show you the evidence – whether it’s thermal images, acoustic readings, or video footage. We discuss your repair options and provide upfront pricing for the work needed.
We handle the repair ourselves or can coordinate with other contractors if the job requires multiple trades. Our goal is to make the entire process seamless from detection through final repair. We also provide documentation of our findings, which can be valuable for insurance claims if your leak caused property damage.
