Our Reviews
You know something’s wrong when your water bill jumps for no reason. Or when you hear water running but no taps are on. Maybe there’s a damp spot on your wall or a musty smell you can’t explain.
Hidden leaks are expensive problems disguised as small mysteries. They rot out walls, damage foundations, and create mold before you even know they exist. The longer they hide, the more they cost.
Our leak detection service finds these problems fast. We use thermal imaging and electromagnetic locators to pinpoint exactly where water is escaping – without tearing up your floors or walls. You get answers, not more damage.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Glenn and the greater Chicago area with reliable plumbing solutions. We’re locally owned, which means we understand the unique challenges Illinois homeowners face.
Our harsh winters make pipes vulnerable to freezing and bursting. Mature trees and local soil conditions create drainage issues that many out-of-area companies miss. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to fix it right the first time.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your trust matters. Our transparent pricing means no surprises on your bill, and our 24/7 emergency service means we’re here when you need us most.
First, we listen to your concerns and inspect the obvious spots. We check water meter readings, look for visible signs, and ask about any changes you’ve noticed in your water bill or home.
Next comes the technology. We use thermal imaging cameras to see temperature differences that indicate water movement behind walls and under floors. Our electromagnetic pipeline locators pinpoint exact leak locations without guessing or digging.
For slab leaks, we use specialized listening equipment to detect water flow under your foundation. If your water heater runs constantly but you’re not using hot water, that’s often our first clue.
Once we find the leak, we explain exactly what’s happening and what it’ll take to fix it. No technical jargon, no pressure tactics – just straight answers so you can make the right decision for your home and budget.

Our leak detection service includes thermal imaging that sees through walls, floors, and ceilings to spot temperature changes where water shouldn’t be. This technology finds problems without creating new ones.
Electromagnetic pipeline locators help us trace your pipes and identify exactly where leaks occur. This precision reduces repair time and keeps costs down because we’re not guessing where to dig or cut.
For Glenn homeowners, this matters because our local soil conditions and mature tree roots create unique challenges. Standard detection methods often miss underground leaks or damage property unnecessarily. Our technology adapts to local conditions.
We also provide detailed reports showing exactly what we found, where we found it, and what needs to happen next. You get photos, measurements, and clear explanations – not vague estimates that leave you wondering what you’re paying for.
Watch for these warning signs: unexplained increases in your water bill, damp spots on walls or ceilings, musty odors that won’t go away, or the sound of running water when all faucets are off. You can also check your water meter by turning off all water in your home and watching to see if the meter still moves.
Mold or mildew growth, especially in areas that shouldn’t be wet, often indicates hidden moisture from leaks. In Glenn’s climate, pay extra attention during spring thaw when frozen pipes may have cracked and started leaking.
If your water heater runs constantly but you’re not using much hot water, this could signal a slab leak in your hot water line. Don’t ignore these signs – early detection saves thousands in damage costs.
Slab leaks occur in the pipes that run under your home’s concrete foundation. These are much harder to detect and access than regular pipe leaks because they’re buried under concrete and soil.
Slab leaks typically happen in hot water lines and cause your water heater to run constantly as it tries to replace the lost hot water. You might notice warm spots on your floor, higher water bills, or reduced water pressure.
Regular pipe leaks in walls or accessible areas are easier to find and fix. Slab leaks require specialized equipment to locate precisely and may need foundation work to access the damaged pipe. The longer slab leaks go undetected, the more they can undermine your foundation and cause structural problems.
Our leak detection service starts with a comprehensive inspection using thermal imaging and electromagnetic locators. We provide upfront pricing before we start, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
The cost depends on your home’s size, the complexity of your plumbing system, and how many potential leak locations we need to investigate. However, professional leak detection typically costs far less than the water damage repairs you’d face if leaks go undetected.
Consider that a hidden leak can waste hundreds of gallons of water monthly, driving up your utility bills while causing structural damage. Our detection service often pays for itself by finding problems before they become expensive disasters.
No, our advanced leak detection methods are completely non-invasive. We use thermal imaging cameras and electromagnetic locators that work from outside your walls and floors without requiring any demolition.
Traditional leak detection often involved cutting holes in walls or digging up yards to find problems. Our technology eliminates this guesswork by showing us exactly where water is moving before we make any cuts or repairs.
If repairs are needed after detection, we only access the specific areas where leaks exist. This precision approach minimizes disruption to your home and keeps repair costs down. We also clean up thoroughly after any necessary repair work.
Most leak detection inspections take 1-3 hours, depending on your home’s size and the number of areas we need to investigate. We work systematically through your plumbing system using our detection equipment.
Simple cases with obvious signs might be resolved quickly. Complex situations involving multiple potential leak locations or slab leaks may require more time to ensure we find every problem.
We don’t rush the process because missing a leak means you’ll face the same problems later. Our thorough approach means you get complete answers in one visit, not callbacks for problems we should have caught the first time.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Glenn and the Chicago area. Water leaks don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we.
Emergency situations like burst pipes, sudden water bill spikes, or obvious water damage require immediate attention to prevent further property damage. Our emergency team responds quickly with the same advanced detection equipment we use for scheduled appointments.
We understand that water emergencies create stress and urgency. Our emergency service includes rapid response, immediate leak location, and options for temporary repairs if needed while we arrange permanent solutions. You’ll speak with a real person, not an answering service, when you call our emergency line.
