Our Reviews
You know something’s wrong when your water bill jumps for no reason. Or when you hear water running but can’t find the source. Maybe there’s a musty smell in your basement, or you’ve spotted a wet spot on your ceiling.
These aren’t problems that fix themselves. Every day you wait, that hidden leak is causing more damage to your Oak Forest home. Water seeps into walls, weakens foundations, and creates the perfect environment for mold growth.
Our leak detection service finds the exact source quickly and accurately. We use infrared cameras and acoustic sensors to locate leaks without tearing up your floors or punching holes in walls. You get answers fast, and your home stays intact while we work.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Oak Forest and the greater Chicago area with reliable plumbing solutions. We understand how Chicago’s climate affects your plumbing—from freeze-thaw cycles that stress pipes to the unique challenges of older homes with aging systems.
Our team is licensed, bonded, and insured, giving you confidence that the job will be done right. We’ve seen every type of leak situation in Oak Forest homes, from slab leaks in ranch-style houses to hidden pipe leaks in vintage bungalows.
When you call us, you’re working with professionals who live and work in your community. We know what works here, and we stand behind our service with upfront pricing and clear communication throughout the process.
First, we listen. You tell us what you’ve noticed—higher bills, wet spots, strange sounds. This helps us focus our search and use the right detection method for your situation.
Next, we use professional-grade equipment to locate the leak. Our infrared cameras detect temperature differences that reveal moisture behind walls. Acoustic sensors pick up the sound of water escaping from pipes, even when it’s too quiet for you to hear. For suspected slab leaks, we use pressure testing to pinpoint the exact location under your concrete foundation.
Once we find the leak, we explain exactly what’s happening and what it’ll take to fix it. No surprises, no hidden costs. We give you upfront pricing so you can make an informed decision. Then we either handle the repair ourselves or connect you with the right specialist if it’s outside our scope.

Our leak detection service includes a comprehensive inspection of your plumbing system. We don’t just find the obvious problem—we look for potential issues that could become bigger headaches later.
In Oak Forest, we see a lot of homes built in the 1960s and 70s with original plumbing that’s reaching the end of its useful life. Galvanized steel pipes are particularly prone to corrosion, and we know exactly what to look for. We also understand how local soil conditions affect underground water lines and sewer connections.
You’ll get a detailed report of our findings, including photos when possible, so you can see exactly what we found. If repairs are needed, we provide clear explanations and fair pricing. For emergency situations, we offer 24/7 service because water leaks don’t wait for business hours.
We use non-invasive technology that finds leaks without breaking into your walls or floors. Our infrared cameras detect temperature differences caused by moisture, while acoustic listening devices pick up the sound of water escaping from pipes.
For slab leaks under concrete, we use pressure testing and electronic location equipment to pinpoint the exact spot. This means we only need to access the specific area where the leak exists, not tear up large sections of your floor. Most leak detection can be completed without any damage to your property at all.
The most common sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill. If your usage hasn’t changed but your bill has jumped significantly, there’s likely a leak somewhere in your system.
Other warning signs include the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, wet or discolored spots on walls or ceilings, musty odors that suggest mold growth, and unusually lush patches of grass over your sewer line. You might also notice a drop in water pressure or hear your water meter running even when no water is being used in the house.
Most residential leak detection services can be completed in 1-2 hours, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the leak. Simple fixture leaks might be found in 30 minutes, while hidden slab leaks or underground pipe issues may take longer to locate precisely.
We work efficiently because we understand that water leaks are urgent. The sooner we find the source, the sooner you can get it repaired and stop further damage to your Oak Forest home. Emergency calls get priority scheduling, and we often provide same-day service for urgent situations.
Absolutely. In fact, older homes are where our experience really shows. Many Oak Forest homes built in the 1960s and 70s have galvanized steel or iron pipes that are prone to corrosion and pinhole leaks.
We’re familiar with the original plumbing layouts in these neighborhoods and know the common failure points. Our equipment works especially well in older homes because we can often trace the original pipe routes and identify problem areas without extensive investigation. We also understand how settling and soil conditions in this area affect underground pipes.
We’ll prioritize them based on severity and potential for damage. Emergency leaks that are actively causing damage get addressed first, while smaller issues can often be scheduled for convenient repair times.
We provide a comprehensive report showing all findings with clear explanations of what needs immediate attention versus what can wait. You’ll get upfront pricing for each repair so you can decide how to proceed. Sometimes multiple small leaks indicate an aging system that might benefit from partial repiping, and we’ll discuss those options honestly without pressure.
