Our Reviews
That mysterious spike in your water bill stops here. No more wondering where your money’s going every month or lying awake worried about hidden damage spreading behind your walls.
Our leak detection service gives you answers. You’ll know exactly where the problem is, how serious it is, and what it’ll cost to fix – no surprises, no guesswork.
When we’re done, you sleep better knowing your property is protected and your water bills go back to normal. Your home stays dry, your foundation stays solid, and your wallet stays closed.
All Rooter has been solving Chicago-area plumbing problems for years. We understand how these older Northlake homes behave – the iron pipes that corrode, the galvanized steel that gives out, the settlement patterns that stress connections.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because that matters when someone’s working in your walls. Our technicians live here, work here, and deal with the same plumbing challenges you face.
When you call us, you’re getting local expertise that understands your specific situation, not some generic approach from a company that treats every job the same.
First, we listen. We use acoustic equipment that picks up the sound of water moving where it shouldn’t be – even through concrete and behind walls.
Next, we look. Our infrared cameras show us temperature differences that reveal moisture patterns invisible to the naked eye. We can see exactly where water is collecting and how far it’s spread.
Finally, we confirm. We use pressure testing and electronic detection to pinpoint the exact location and severity of your leak. You get a clear explanation of what we found, what needs to be fixed, and what it’ll cost before any repair work begins.

Underground water leak detection for those mysterious wet spots in your yard that never dry up. We find breaks in main lines, service connections, and irrigation systems without tearing up your landscaping.
Leak detection in walls catches problems before they rot your framing or create mold issues. Our equipment works through drywall, tile, and plaster without damage.
Underfloor water leak detection locates slab leaks and radiant heating problems. These are the expensive ones – catch them early and save thousands in foundation repair costs.
Water leak detection covers everything from pinhole leaks in copper pipes to major breaks in cast iron mains. We find them all, fix them right, and prevent them from happening again.
Check your water meter with all water turned off in your home. Turn off every faucet, appliance, and water source, then watch the meter for 15 minutes.
If the numbers change, you’ve got a leak somewhere. Other signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, damp or discolored spots on walls or ceilings, and musty odors near plumbing fixtures.
You might also notice your water pressure dropping or hear water running when nothing should be on. These symptoms often mean the leak has been going for a while and needs immediate attention.
Our standard leak detection methods are completely non-invasive. We use acoustic equipment, infrared cameras, and electronic sensors that work through walls, floors, and concrete without causing any damage.
In most cases, we can locate your leak precisely without opening up anything. We only recommend invasive methods like drilling or cutting when absolutely necessary for confirmation or repair access.
When we do need to make openings, we keep them as small as possible and explain exactly what’s required before starting any work. You’ll know what to expect and why it’s necessary.
Most residential leak detection jobs take 1-3 hours depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the problem. Simple jobs like checking for a slab leak might take an hour.
More complex situations, like tracing multiple potential leak sources or checking extensive underground piping, can take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate when we arrive and keep you updated if anything changes.
Emergency leak detection gets priority scheduling. If you’re dealing with active water damage or a major leak, we can often get someone to your property within hours, not days.
Leak detection finds and confirms where your leak is located, how severe it is, and what’s causing it. This diagnostic service gives you the information you need to make smart repair decisions.
Leak repair is the actual fix – replacing pipes, sealing connections, or rerouting plumbing to solve the problem permanently. Some simple leaks can be repaired immediately after detection.
Most customers want both services, but you’re not locked into using us for repairs just because we found your leak. We provide clear detection results and repair estimates so you can choose what works best for your situation and budget.
Basic leak detection in Northlake typically runs $200-500 depending on your property size and the complexity of your plumbing system. More extensive detection work costs more, but you’ll know the price before we start.
Compare that to the cost of letting a hidden leak continue – thousands in water damage, foundation problems, and sky-high water bills. Most customers save money by catching leaks early rather than waiting for obvious symptoms.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. You’ll get a clear estimate that covers the detection work, and separate pricing for any repairs you choose to have done.
