Our Reviews
You know that sinking feeling when your water bill jumps for no reason. Or when you spot a damp patch on the wall that wasn’t there last week. Those aren’t just minor annoyances—they’re warnings that could save you thousands.
Hidden leaks don’t stay hidden forever. They work quietly behind your walls, under your floors, destroying your home one drop at a time. By the time most people notice, the damage is already done. Warped floors, rotted framing, mold growing where you can’t see it.
But you don’t have to wait for disaster. With professional leak detection, you get answers fast. You get your peace of mind back. And you get to fix a small problem before it becomes a big one.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc has been serving Sunny Crest and the greater Chicago area for years. We understand the unique challenges Illinois weather brings—frozen pipes, shifting foundations, and aging plumbing systems that fail when you least expect it.
We are licensed, bonded, and insured because your trust matters. We offer 24/7 emergency service because leaks don’t wait for business hours. Our technicians know Sunny Crest homes, from the older properties near the Des Plaines River to newer developments, and we’ve seen every type of leak problem this area can throw at us.
This isn’t about being the biggest company in Chicago. It’s about being the right company for your neighborhood.
First, we listen to your concerns and inspect the obvious areas. But the real work happens with technology most plumbing companies don’t have. Thermal imaging cameras see temperature differences that reveal hidden water behind walls. Electronic listening devices pick up the sound of water where it shouldn’t be. Pressure testing confirms whether your suspicions are right.
No guesswork. No tearing holes in your drywall hoping to find something. The equipment does the detective work, and you get precise answers about exactly where the problem is and how serious it is.
Once we’ve located the leak, we explain your options clearly. Sometimes it’s a simple fix that takes an hour. Sometimes it requires more work, but you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with before any repairs begin. Our goal is always to solve your problem with the least disruption to your life.

Professional leak detection covers everything from obvious drips to the sneaky problems that hide for months. Slab leaks under your foundation. Pipe leaks inside walls. Underground water line breaks that show up as soggy spots in your yard. Fixture leaks that seem minor but waste hundreds of gallons.
In Sunny Crest, older homes often have galvanized pipes that corrode over time, while newer construction can have issues with shifting soil affecting underground lines. The harsh Illinois winters are particularly tough on plumbing—pipes freeze, thaw, and develop stress cracks that turn into bigger problems by spring.
Our service includes a thorough inspection using multiple detection methods, precise location of any leaks found, and a clear explanation of what needs to be done. You get photos of problem areas when possible, written estimates for repairs, and honest advice about what’s urgent versus what can wait. No pressure, no surprises, just the information you need to make smart decisions about your home.
Leak detection typically costs between $125 to $900 depending on the complexity and location of the suspected leak. Simple visual inspections and basic testing start at the lower end, while comprehensive detection using thermal imaging and electronic equipment for hard-to-find leaks costs more.
The investment makes sense when you consider that undetected leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water and cause extensive property damage. Most homeowners save money by catching problems early rather than waiting until they become major repairs.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. We’ll explain what’s included in our detection service and why different methods might be needed for your specific situation.
Yes, modern leak detection uses non-invasive methods that don’t require cutting into walls or floors. Thermal imaging cameras detect temperature differences that show where water is present behind surfaces. Electronic listening devices pick up the sound of water escaping from pipes. Pressure testing can confirm leaks without any demolition.
These advanced tools are far more accurate than the old “cut and hope” approach some companies still use. You get precise information about leak locations without the mess, expense, and inconvenience of unnecessary property damage.
In most cases, the only access needed is through existing openings like electrical outlets or small inspection holes that are easily patched. The technology does the detective work, so your home stays intact while problems get solved.
The most common sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill—if usage is up but your habits haven’t changed, there’s likely a leak somewhere. You might notice damp or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or floors, especially after the ground thaws in spring.
Other warning signs include the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, musty odors that suggest mold growth, or soft spots in floors that feel spongy underfoot. Outside, look for unusually green patches of grass, soggy areas in your yard, or water pooling where it shouldn’t be.
Don’t ignore these signs hoping they’ll go away. Early detection prevents small problems from becoming expensive disasters. Even if you’re not sure whether you have a leak, professional inspection gives you peace of mind and can catch issues before they cause serious damage.
Most leak detection inspections take 1-3 hours depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the suspected problem. Simple cases where the general area is known can be completed quickly, while comprehensive whole-house inspections take longer.
The process includes initial consultation, visual inspection, testing with specialized equipment, and explanation of findings. If leaks are found, additional time may be needed to determine the best repair approach and provide accurate estimates.
Emergency situations get priority scheduling, often with same-day service available. For non-urgent inspections, appointments are typically available within a few days. We work efficiently while being thorough—we understand you want answers quickly without rushing through important diagnostic work.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Sunny Crest and the surrounding areas. Water emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, and quick response can prevent extensive damage to your property.
Emergency situations include visible water damage, flooding, sudden spikes in water pressure or loss of pressure, and situations where you can hear water running but can’t locate the source. These require immediate attention to minimize damage and water waste.
Emergency service typically includes rapid response, immediate assessment to stop ongoing damage, temporary repairs when possible, and scheduling for permanent solutions. Our goal is to stabilize the situation quickly, then provide proper repairs when conditions allow for quality workmanship.
Once a leak is located, you get a clear explanation of the problem, photos when possible, and detailed repair options with upfront pricing. There’s no pressure to decide immediately—you’ll have time to consider your options and ask questions about the recommended solutions.
For minor leaks, repairs can often be completed the same day. More complex issues might require ordering parts or scheduling additional work, but you’ll know the timeline upfront. All work comes with warranties, and we clean up after ourselves.
If multiple leaks are found, we’ll help you prioritize which ones need immediate attention versus which can be scheduled for later. Our goal is to solve your problems efficiently while respecting your budget and schedule. You stay in control of the decisions while getting expert guidance about what’s best for your home.
