You’re dealing with something you can’t see, can’t locate, but know is costing you money. Water damage doesn’t wait, and neither should you.
When we find that hidden leak, you get your water bill back to normal. Your walls stay dry. Your foundation stays solid. Most importantly, you sleep better knowing your home isn’t quietly destroying itself behind the scenes.
Our electronic leak detection technology pinpoints exactly where water is escaping without tearing up your floors or walls. We locate leaks in walls, under floors, in your foundation, and anywhere else water decides to go where it shouldn’t.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving plumbing problems for Chicago-area homeowners who need solutions that actually work. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your home deserves protection from companies that cut corners.
Park Ridge homes face unique challenges with aging infrastructure and weather extremes that stress plumbing systems. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in this area. Our team knows how Chicago-built homes are plumbed, where problems typically develop, and how to fix them right the first time.
We’re not the biggest company in Chicago, but we’re the one that shows up when you call and gives you straight answers about what’s wrong and what it costs to fix.
First, we listen. You tell us what you’ve noticed – higher water bills, damp spots, strange sounds. We use that information to focus our search on the most likely problem areas.
Next, we deploy our electronic detection equipment. This includes thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature differences where water is present, and acoustic equipment that picks up the sound of water moving where it shouldn’t. Most leaks are located within an hour using these methods.
Finally, we show you exactly what we found and explain your repair options with upfront pricing. No surprises, no hidden costs. You decide how to proceed with complete information about the problem and the solution.

Our leak detection service covers every area where water problems develop in Park Ridge homes. We locate leaks in walls using thermal imaging that detects moisture behind drywall without creating holes. Underground water leak detection uses acoustic equipment to pinpoint breaks in buried lines.
Slab leaks are particularly common in this area due to soil conditions and the age of many Park Ridge foundations. Our specialized equipment detects these hidden problems before they cause major structural damage.
Park Ridge’s older homes often have galvanized pipes that develop pinhole leaks over time. Our electronic detection methods find these small leaks before they become big problems. We also handle modern PEX and copper systems that can develop leaks at joints and connections.
We use thermal imaging cameras and electronic acoustic equipment to locate leaks behind walls without any invasive procedures. The thermal camera detects temperature differences where moisture is present, while acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water movement inside wall cavities.
This technology is accurate enough to pinpoint the exact location of a leak within inches. Once we know exactly where the problem is, any repair work can be focused on the smallest possible area, minimizing damage to your walls and reducing repair costs.
Most wall leaks are located within 30-60 minutes using these non-invasive methods. You get answers fast without the mess and expense of exploratory holes in your drywall.
The most obvious sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill when your usage hasn’t changed. You might also notice wet spots in your yard, areas where grass grows unusually well, or sections where vegetation is dying if it’s a sewer line leak.
Inside your home, you might hear water running when all fixtures are turned off. Some homeowners notice a drop in water pressure or find that their water meter continues to move even when no water is being used in the house.
Foundation cracks, settling, or new cracks in walls can also indicate an underground leak that’s affecting your home’s structural support. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have the area inspected quickly to prevent major damage.
Most residential leaks are located within one hour using our electronic detection equipment. Simple leaks in accessible areas might be found in 15-30 minutes, while complex problems in multi-story homes or difficult-to-reach areas might take up to two hours.
The speed depends on the size of your home, the complexity of your plumbing system, and how many potential problem areas we need to check. We start with the most likely locations based on your symptoms and work systematically through your plumbing system.
Our goal is always to find the problem as quickly as possible while being thorough enough to make sure we don’t miss anything. Fast detection means less time with your water shut off and faster resolution of the problem.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Park Ridge and the greater Chicago area. Water damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we when you have an urgent leak situation.
Emergency situations include burst pipes, major leaks causing flooding, or any leak that threatens your home’s structure or electrical systems. We respond quickly to minimize water damage and get your plumbing system stabilized.
For emergency calls, we focus first on stopping the immediate problem, then work on permanent repairs. Our emergency service includes the same advanced detection technology we use during regular hours, so you get accurate diagnosis even in crisis situations.
We use advanced electronic detection equipment including thermal imaging and acoustic leak detection technology, while many plumbers still rely primarily on visual inspection and guesswork. This means we can find leaks without tearing up your home to look for them.
Our approach is systematic and technology-driven. We don’t start cutting into walls or digging up your yard until we know exactly where the problem is located. This saves you money on unnecessary repairs and gets your plumbing fixed faster.
We also provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what leak detection costs and what repairs will run. Many plumbers give estimates that change once they start working. Our price is our price, and we stick to it.
Leak detection costs vary depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and the type of leak we’re looking for. Simple residential leak detection typically ranges from $200-$500, while complex underground or slab leak detection may cost more due to specialized equipment requirements.
We provide upfront pricing before we start any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we begin. This price includes the detection service and a detailed report of what we found, including photos and recommendations for repairs.
The cost of professional leak detection is almost always less than the cost of water damage from an undetected leak. Finding a problem early can save thousands in structural repairs, mold remediation, and property damage. We consider leak detection an investment in protecting your home’s value.
