Our Reviews
You know something’s wrong. Maybe your water bill jumped 40% last month, or you noticed that damp spot spreading across your bedroom ceiling. But you don’t know where the leak is coming from—and that uncertainty gets more expensive every day.
Hidden water leaks don’t stay small. They spread through your walls, soak into your floors, and create the perfect environment for mold growth. What starts as a minor drip can turn into $15,000 worth of structural repairs, ruined belongings, and weeks of living with contractors tearing apart your home.
Our leak detection in walls and underground pipes finds the exact source without the guesswork. No cutting random holes in your drywall hoping to find the problem. No digging up your entire yard because “the leak is somewhere under there.” You get precise answers that lead to targeted repairs and real solutions.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving complex plumbing problems throughout Bridgeview, IL and the Chicago area for years. We’re not just another plumbing truck with a phone number—we’re licensed, bonded, insured professionals who understand exactly what makes local properties unique.
Bridgeview homes face specific challenges that out-of-area companies miss. Clay sewer pipes from the 1960s that crack under freeze-thaw cycles. Underground water leak detection complicated by dense soil conditions. Older supply lines that develop pinhole leaks in spots you’d never expect.
We’ve seen these problems hundreds of times, and our detection equipment is specifically chosen to handle the conditions we encounter in Bridgeview properties. When we show up, we already know what to look for and how to find it efficiently.
First, we listen to your concerns and inspect the obvious signs—water stains, soft spots, or that mysterious sound of running water when everything should be quiet. But we don’t stop at the visible damage, because what you can see usually means the leak has been active for weeks or months.
Next comes the real detective work. We use acoustic sensors that detect the specific sound signature of water escaping from pressurized pipes. These sounds are completely inaudible to human hearing, but our equipment picks them up through walls, concrete, and soil, then traces them back to the exact source.
Our thermal imaging cameras reveal temperature differences that show moisture movement behind walls and under floors. When water leaks through your plumbing system, it creates heat signatures that are invisible to your eyes but crystal clear to our technology. Once we’ve located your leak, we mark the precise spot so repairs can be made with surgical precision instead of destructive guesswork.

Our plumbing leak detection service handles everything from minor fixture leaks to major underground water line failures. We work on single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial properties throughout Bridgeview, IL, adapting our approach to match each property’s specific needs and construction.
Bridgeview’s location and housing history create unique leak detection challenges. Many properties were built when clay sewer pipes were standard, and these systems are now reaching the end of their useful life. Tree root intrusion, ground settling, and decades of freeze-thaw cycles create underground leak patterns that require specialized detection methods.
Our underfloor water leak detection service uses ground-penetrating sensors that can locate problems in your main water line, service connections, and radiant heating systems without excavating your landscaping. For newer construction, we focus on common failure points like shower pan leaks, water heater connections, and appliance supply lines. Every service includes a detailed explanation of what we found and practical recommendations for preventing future problems.
We use professional acoustic leak detection equipment that can hear water escaping from pipes through walls, floors, and concrete. These sensors pick up sound frequencies that are completely inaudible to human hearing but create clear signatures when water is leaking under pressure.
Our thermal imaging cameras show us temperature differences that indicate moisture where it shouldn’t be. When water leaks behind your walls, it creates a distinct thermal pattern that our equipment can see right through drywall, tile, and other building materials. This combination of acoustic and thermal detection lets us mark the exact location of your leak before anyone picks up a saw.
We only recommend opening walls after we’ve confirmed the precise leak location. This approach saves you from unnecessary drywall repairs and gets your plumbing fixed faster with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
We detect every type of water leak common to Bridgeview, IL properties. This includes supply line leaks behind walls and under concrete slabs, underground water leak detection for main lines and service connections, and hidden leaks in shower pans, toilet flanges, and appliance connections.
Many Bridgeview homes have older clay sewer pipes that develop leaks from root intrusion, ground movement, and age-related deterioration. Our equipment can detect these problems before they cause sewage backups or foundation damage. We also specialize in finding leaks in modern PEX and copper systems that develop pinhole leaks or joint failures.
Whether your leak is causing visible water damage or just mysteriously driving up your water bill, our detection methods work. We can even locate intermittent leaks that only occur when water pressure reaches certain levels or during specific usage patterns.
Most leak detection services take 1-2 hours depending on your property size and the complexity of your plumbing system. Targeted inspections for specific problem areas might take less time, while comprehensive whole-house leak detection for mysterious water bill increases can take longer.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what the service will cost. There are no surprise charges or hidden fees. Our leak detection investment is often recovered quickly through water savings once the leak is repaired, not to mention avoiding the much higher costs of extensive water damage repairs.
If we locate a leak and you choose us for the repair work, we typically credit the detection fee toward your repair cost. This makes the detection service essentially free when you hire us for the complete solution.
Underground water leak detection is one of our core specialties. We use specialized ground microphones and acoustic sensors that can detect leaks in buried water mains and sewer lines without any excavation. This is especially valuable in Bridgeview where many properties have aging underground utilities that are expensive to access.
For sewer line problems, we combine acoustic detection with video camera inspection to see inside the pipes and identify cracks, root damage, or joint failures. This gives us a complete picture of your underground plumbing condition and helps us recommend the most cost-effective repair approach.
Underground leaks are particularly destructive because they often go unnoticed for months while causing foundation settling, landscaping damage, and massive water bill increases. Our detection methods catch these problems while repairs are still manageable and affordable.
Yes, we provide round-the-clock emergency leak detection services throughout Bridgeview, IL and the surrounding Chicago area. Water emergencies don’t wait for convenient business hours, and neither do we. If you have active water damage or flooding, we can respond quickly to locate the source and minimize property damage.
Emergency leak detection is critical when you have water pouring through ceilings, flooding basements, or mysterious water appearing in areas where it shouldn’t be. The faster we pinpoint the leak source, the less damage occurs to your property and belongings.
Once we locate your emergency leak, we can often provide temporary repairs to stop ongoing water damage while planning permanent repairs. Our service trucks carry all necessary detection equipment, so we can start the location process immediately upon arrival.
If you suspect a hidden leak, call for professional detection sooner rather than later. Early detection prevents extensive property damage and saves significant money on repairs. Common warning signs include unexplained water bill increases, damp or discolored spots on walls or ceilings, musty odors, or hearing water running when all fixtures are turned off.
For active water damage, turn off your main water supply immediately and call us for emergency service. For suspected leaks without immediate damage, avoid trying to locate the problem yourself by cutting into walls or floors. This approach usually causes more damage and rarely finds the actual leak source.
Take photos of any visible signs for insurance documentation, but leave the detective work to professionals with proper detection equipment. We can typically schedule leak detection service within 24 hours for non-emergency situations and respond immediately for water emergencies.
