All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts has been serving Evergreen Park and the greater Chicago area with reliable plumbing solutions. We understand how Chicago’s harsh winters and temperature fluctuations stress your pipes, creating the perfect conditions for leaks.
Our licensed, bonded, and insured technicians know Evergreen Park’s unique plumbing challenges. From aging infrastructure in older neighborhoods to the seasonal pipe expansion and contraction that causes hidden fractures, we’ve seen it all.
We’re not just another plumbing company. We’re your neighbors who understand that when water starts showing up where it shouldn’t, you need answers fast.
First, we assess your situation and identify the most likely leak locations based on your symptoms. Are you seeing water stains, hearing running water when nothing’s on, or dealing with unexplained high water bills?
Next, we deploy our detection technology. Our infrared cameras spot temperature variations that reveal moisture behind walls. Thermal imaging shows us exactly where water is traveling through your home’s structure. For underground leaks, we use acoustic equipment that listens for the specific sounds of water escaping pipes.
Once we’ve located the leak, we’ll show you exactly what we found and explain your repair options. You’ll see the problem for yourself and understand exactly what needs to be done to fix it permanently.

Your leak detection service includes a comprehensive inspection of your plumbing system using multiple detection methods. We check common problem areas like behind water heaters, under sinks, around toilets, and in basement walls where Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles often cause pipe stress.
For Evergreen Park homes, we pay special attention to slab leaks, which are common in our area’s construction style. These under-foundation leaks can go undetected for months, causing serious structural damage if not caught early.
We also inspect your water meter and main line connections. Many Evergreen Park properties have older service lines that develop leaks where they connect to city water systems. Our electromagnetic locators can pinpoint these problems without excavating your entire front yard.
Watch for these warning signs: unexplained increases in your water bill, damp spots on walls or ceilings, mold growth, musty odors, or the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off. You might also notice soft spots in your flooring or warm spots on concrete floors, which often indicate slab leaks.
In Evergreen Park, pay special attention after harsh winters. Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles stress pipes, and small cracks that develop during winter often become bigger problems as temperatures warm up. If your water meter continues moving when no water is being used in your home, that’s a clear sign of a leak somewhere in your system.
Our advanced leak detection methods are designed to be non-invasive. We use infrared cameras and thermal imaging to see through walls and locate leaks without cutting into drywall or damaging your property. These technologies detect temperature differences and moisture patterns that reveal exactly where water is traveling.
For underground leaks, we use electromagnetic pipe locators and acoustic equipment to pinpoint problems without extensive digging. Only after we’ve identified the exact location do we make minimal, targeted access points for repairs. This approach saves you money on restoration costs and gets your plumbing fixed faster with less disruption to your daily routine.
Most leak detection services take between one to three hours, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the problem. Simple leaks in accessible areas can often be located within the first hour. More complex situations, like slab leaks or leaks in multi-story homes, may require additional time for thorough inspection.
We start with the most likely problem areas based on your symptoms, which helps us work efficiently. Our goal is to find your leak quickly while being thorough enough to catch any additional problems that might cause issues later. Once we locate the leak, we can usually provide repair estimates on the spot.
Chicago’s climate is particularly hard on plumbing systems. Our seasonal temperature swings cause pipes to expand and contract repeatedly, eventually leading to stress fractures and joint failures. Winter freezing can crack pipes, while spring thaws reveal damage that accumulated during cold months.
Many Evergreen Park homes also have aging infrastructure. Older galvanized pipes corrode over time, while even newer installations can develop problems from high water pressure, ground shifting, or tree root intrusion. Poor installation or repairs by unqualified contractors also contribute to leak problems. Our detection service identifies not just current leaks, but conditions that might cause future problems.
Yes, slab leak detection is one of our specialties. These under-foundation leaks are common in Evergreen Park due to our area’s construction methods and soil conditions. We use specialized acoustic equipment and electromagnetic locators to identify exactly where pipes are leaking beneath your concrete slab.
Slab leaks often show symptoms like warm spots on floors, higher water bills, low water pressure, or the sound of running water when everything’s turned off. Because these leaks can cause serious foundation damage if left untreated, early detection is critical. Our non-invasive methods can locate slab leaks without breaking up your floors, allowing for targeted repairs that minimize disruption and cost.
