Our Reviews
You wake up to a spike in your water bill and wonder where all that water went. Maybe you notice a damp spot on the wall or hear water running when nothing should be on. These aren’t problems you can ignore and hope they go away.
Hidden leaks in Hometown homes waste thousands of gallons of water every year and cause expensive damage you can’t see until it’s too late. Water seeping behind walls creates perfect conditions for mold growth within 24 to 48 hours. What starts as a small leak becomes a major renovation project that costs thousands more than it should have.
When we find your leak early, you avoid the headache of torn-up walls, ruined flooring, and mold remediation. You get your peace of mind back, knowing your home is protected and your water bills return to normal.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Hometown and the greater Chicago area with professional plumbing services that homeowners and businesses can count on. We understand the unique challenges Chicago plumbing faces—from harsh winters that freeze pipes to aging infrastructure that’s over 100 years old in many areas.
Our licensed, bonded, and insured team knows exactly how Chicago’s climate affects your plumbing system. We’ve seen how quickly a small leak can turn into a major problem when temperatures drop, and we’ve helped hundreds of local property owners protect their investments with fast, accurate leak detection.
You’ll work with professionals who live and work in this community, understand local building codes, and have the experience to handle everything from simple residential leaks to complex commercial plumbing issues.
We start with a thorough assessment of your property and the symptoms you’ve noticed—whether it’s high water bills, damp spots, or sounds of running water. Our technicians use professional-grade acoustic equipment that can detect even the smallest leaks by picking up sounds well outside the range of human hearing.
Next, we deploy infrared thermal imaging technology that shows us exactly where moisture is accumulating behind walls or under floors. This advanced equipment eliminates the guesswork that other companies rely on. We can pinpoint the exact location of your leak without cutting into walls or tearing up flooring.
Once we’ve located the problem, we provide you with a clear explanation of what we found and transparent pricing for the repair. Our approach means you get accurate results the first time, without the trial-and-error methods that can damage your property and cost you more money.

Our comprehensive leak detection service covers every type of water leak that affects Hometown properties. We handle leak detection in walls, underfloor water leak detection, underground water leak detection, and plumbing leak detection throughout your entire system.
Chicago’s aging water infrastructure means many homes and businesses deal with unique challenges. Lead service lines in older buildings, clay sewer pipes that crack over time, and the constant freeze-thaw cycle that affects underground pipes all require specialized detection methods. We use electromagnetic pipeline locators for underground leaks and video camera inspection when needed.
You receive a detailed report of our findings, including photos and precise locations of any leaks we discover. We explain everything in plain language, so you understand exactly what’s happening with your plumbing system. Our upfront pricing means you know the cost before any work begins, and our 24/7 emergency service ensures we’re available when you need us most.
Leak detection in the Chicago area typically ranges from $150 to $700, depending on the complexity of your situation and the methods needed to locate the leak. Simple visual inspections cost less, while advanced thermal imaging or acoustic detection for hidden leaks costs more.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying.

Yes, our advanced leak detection technology locates leaks without causing any damage to your property. We use infrared thermal imaging that sees through walls to detect moisture and temperature changes that indicate leaks.

This non-invasive approach means we can pinpoint the exact location of your leak without cutting into drywall, removing flooring, or excavating your yard. You get accurate results without the mess, additional repair costs, or disruption to your daily life that comes with traditional detection methods.
Most leak detection jobs are completed within a few hours, depending on the size of your property and the complexity of the plumbing system. Our professional-grade equipment allows us to work efficiently and accurately, eliminating the time-consuming trial-and-error methods other companies use.
For emergency situations, we offer 24/7 service and can often have a technician at your property within an hour. Time matters when you’re dealing with water leaks—the sooner we find and stop the leak, the less damage occurs to your property and the lower your repair costs will be.
We detect all types of water leaks that affect Hometown and Chicago area properties, including leaks in walls, under floors, in underground pipes, and throughout your plumbing system. Our equipment works on everything from small pinhole leaks in copper pipes to major breaks in main water lines.
Chicago’s unique challenges—like freeze damage from harsh winters, corrosion in older pipes, and settlement issues that affect underground lines—require specialized detection methods. We handle leak detection in residential homes, commercial buildings, and multi-unit properties. Whether your leak is in a bathroom, kitchen, basement, or anywhere else in your building, we have the tools and experience to find it.
Insurance coverage for leak detection varies by policy and the cause of the leak. Many homeowners insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, including the cost of detecting the source when it’s part of a covered claim. However, they typically don’t cover leaks caused by lack of maintenance or gradual damage.
We recommend contacting your insurance company to understand your specific coverage. We can provide detailed reports and documentation that insurance companies need for claims processing. Our team works with insurance adjusters regularly and can help you navigate the claims process when coverage applies.
Several warning signs indicate you might have a hidden leak: unexplained increases in your water bill, damp or discolored spots on walls or ceilings, musty odors that suggest mold growth, or the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off. You might also notice soft spots in flooring or areas where paint is peeling or bubbling.
In Chicago’s climate, pay special attention after periods of freezing weather, as pipes can develop leaks when they thaw. If you suspect a leak, don’t wait—early detection prevents extensive property damage and saves money on both water bills and repairs. Our professional assessment can give you peace of mind or catch problems before they become expensive disasters.
