Our Reviews
Water leaks don’t announce themselves with fanfare. They hide behind walls, creep under floors, and silently rack up thousands in damage while you sleep. In Norwood Park’s historic homes, many built in the early 20th century, aging pipes make this problem even worse.
When we find your leak, you get your life back. No more mysterious water stains. No more spiking utility bills. No more wondering if that musty smell means mold is growing somewhere you can’t see.
Our advanced detection technology pinpoints the exact source without destroying your walls or floors. You save money on repairs, protect your home’s value, and sleep better knowing your plumbing system is sound.
We at All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc have been serving Chicago and Norwood Park with honest, reliable plumbing services. We know this neighborhood’s unique challenges—from the historic homes with aging pipes to the flooding issues that hit during heavy rains.
Our licensed, bonded, and insured team understands how Chicago’s harsh winters cause pipes to freeze and crack. We’ve seen how the city’s combined storm and sanitary system creates backup problems that other plumbers miss.
When you call us, you’re getting local expertise that comes from years of working in these exact conditions. We’re not just another plumbing company—we’re your neighbors who happen to be really good at finding leaks.
First, we listen. Our acoustic detection equipment picks up the sound of water moving where it shouldn’t be. Even tiny leaks make noise when you know how to hear them.
Next, we see what’s invisible. Thermal imaging cameras show temperature differences that reveal moisture behind walls and under floors. Infrared technology lets us map exactly where water is traveling without opening a single wall.
Then we confirm and locate precisely. Pressure testing and electromagnetic pipeline locators pinpoint the exact spot that needs attention. No guesswork. No unnecessary digging. No trial and error that costs you time and money.
Finally, we show you exactly what we found. You see the problem on our camera screens before we fix anything. You know exactly what needs to be done and why.

Our leak detection covers everything from dripping faucets to major underground line breaks. We find leaks in walls, under concrete slabs, in crawl spaces, and anywhere else water decides to go exploring.
Norwood Park’s older homes present unique challenges. Cast iron pipes that have served faithfully for decades start showing their age. Galvanized steel lines begin corroding from the inside out. Tree roots find their way into sewer lines, creating slow leaks that gradually undermine your foundation.
We use specialized equipment designed for each type of detection. Infrared cameras for wall leaks. Ground-penetrating technology for underground issues. Pressure testing for system-wide problems. Camera inspections for sewer lines.
The result? We find problems before they become disasters. A small leak caught early might cost a few hundred dollars to fix. The same leak ignored for months can easily run into thousands once water damage, mold, and structural issues set in.
Leak detection in Norwood Park typically runs between $150 and $700, depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and the detection methods needed. Simple acoustic detection for accessible areas costs less than comprehensive thermal imaging for multiple locations.
We provide upfront pricing before we start any work. No hidden fees or surprise charges. Most homeowners find that professional leak detection pays for itself by preventing major water damage that can cost thousands to repair.
Many insurance companies also cover leak detection when it prevents larger claims. We can provide documentation for your insurance company if needed.
Absolutely. Our non-invasive detection methods locate leaks without opening walls, digging up floors, or disturbing your landscaping. We use thermal imaging, acoustic detection, and electromagnetic locators to pinpoint problems through existing materials.
This technology lets us see temperature differences, hear water movement, and trace pipe locations without any demolition. You get accurate results without the mess, expense, and inconvenience of exploratory digging or wall removal.
Only after we’ve precisely located the problem do we make the smallest possible opening to access and repair the leak. This targeted approach saves you money on both detection and restoration costs.
We offer 24/7 emergency leak detection services with an average response time of 90 minutes. Water damage gets worse by the hour, so we prioritize emergency calls and dispatch our nearest available technician immediately.
Our emergency service covers everything from burst pipes to mysterious water damage that needs immediate investigation. We carry detection equipment on every truck, so we can start finding your leak the moment we arrive.
For non-emergency situations, we typically schedule same-day or next-day appointments. But if water is actively damaging your Norwood Park home, we treat it as an emergency regardless of the time or day.
Watch for unexplained increases in your water bill—even a 10% jump can signal a hidden leak. Water stains on walls or ceilings, musty odors, and the sound of running water when everything’s turned off are all red flags.
In Norwood Park’s older homes, you might notice soft spots in floors, peeling paint, or mold growth in unusual places. These often indicate leaks that have been going undetected for weeks or months.
Don’t ignore small signs hoping they’ll go away. A leak that seems minor today can cause thousands in damage tomorrow. Early detection saves money and prevents the health hazards that come with prolonged moisture problems.
Yes, we detect leaks in all plumbing materials and configurations. Whether you have copper, PVC, cast iron, or galvanized steel pipes, we have the right equipment and expertise to locate problems safely.
Norwood Park’s mix of historic and modern homes means we regularly work with everything from century-old cast iron to modern PEX installations. Each material requires different detection approaches, and our technicians are trained on all of them.
We also handle both residential and commercial properties. From single-family homes to multi-unit buildings, our detection methods scale to match your property’s complexity and our equipment works effectively in any size system.
For preventive maintenance, we recommend professional leak detection every 2-3 years for homes over 20 years old. Newer homes might only need checking every 5 years unless you notice warning signs.
However, Norwood Park’s older homes and Chicago’s harsh weather create conditions where more frequent checking makes sense. If you’ve had previous leak issues, live in a home built before 1970, or have noticed any warning signs, annual inspections can save thousands in prevented damage.
Regular detection also helps identify small problems before they become major repairs. It’s much cheaper to fix a small leak than to deal with water damage, mold remediation, and structural repairs that result from long-term moisture problems.
