Our Reviews
You’re not dealing with a minor inconvenience when water leaks behind your walls or under your floors. You’re facing thousands of dollars in potential damage to your Winnetka home.
Every day that leak goes undetected, water seeps deeper into your structure. It weakens foundations, rots wood framing, and creates the perfect environment for mold growth. What starts as a small drip becomes a major restoration project.
Our advanced leak detection technology finds these hidden problems before they become disasters. We use thermal imaging and acoustic sensors to pinpoint exact leak locations without damaging your walls, floors, or landscaping. You get answers fast, and your property stays intact.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Winnetka and the greater Chicago area with professional plumbing services for years. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your peace of mind matters.
Winnetka’s unique housing stock requires specialized knowledge. From historic homes with aging pipes to modern constructions with complex plumbing systems, we understand how water moves through different types of properties in this area.
We respond quickly because we know how fast water damage can escalate in Winnetka’s valuable homes. When you call, you’re getting local experts who understand both the urgency of your situation and the specific challenges that come with maintaining plumbing in Chicago’s North Shore communities.
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your property and the symptoms you’re experiencing. High water bills, damp spots, or the sound of running water when everything’s turned off all tell us where to look.
Next comes the technology. We use thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature differences caused by water leaks, even behind walls and under concrete slabs. Acoustic sensors pick up the sound of water moving where it shouldn’t be. Electronic leak detection equipment can pinpoint leaks in underground pipes without any digging.
Once we locate the exact problem, we explain what we found and give you clear options for repair. No guesswork, no unnecessary excavation, no surprises. You know exactly what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it before any work begins.

We handle leak detection in walls, underground water leak detection, and underfloor water leak detection throughout Winnetka. Whether it’s a slab leak under your foundation, a pipe leak behind bathroom tiles, or an underground service line problem, our equipment finds it.
Winnetka homes face specific challenges. Older properties often have original plumbing that’s reached the end of its lifespan. Newer homes sometimes have installation issues that don’t show up for years. Seasonal ground movement affects underground pipes differently here than in other parts of Illinois.
Our local experience means we know where problems typically develop in Winnetka properties. We understand how the area’s soil conditions affect underground pipes and how temperature fluctuations impact plumbing systems. This knowledge helps us work more efficiently and catch problems other technicians might miss.
We use thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature differences caused by water leaks behind walls. When water leaks from a pipe, it creates a temperature variation that shows up clearly on thermal imaging equipment.
We also use acoustic leak detection devices that listen for the sound of water escaping from pipes inside wall cavities. These tools are sensitive enough to detect even small leaks that aren’t causing visible damage yet.
This non-invasive approach means we can pinpoint the exact location of a leak without cutting exploratory holes in your walls. You get accurate results without unnecessary damage to your property.
Unexplained increases in your water bill are often the first sign of an underground leak. If your usage hasn’t changed but your bill keeps climbing, water is probably escaping somewhere in your underground service lines.
You might notice wet spots in your yard that don’t dry out, even during dry weather. Sometimes you’ll see unusually green patches of grass where leaked water is providing extra irrigation. In severe cases, you might hear the sound of running water near your water meter or main line.
Low water pressure throughout your house can also indicate an underground leak, especially if it develops gradually over time. The sooner you address these signs, the less damage you’ll face and the lower your repair costs will be.
Thermal imaging is extremely accurate for detecting water leaks because water changes the temperature of surrounding materials in predictable ways. When we scan your walls or floors with thermal cameras, leaked water shows up as distinct temperature variations.
This technology is particularly effective for finding leaks in walls, under floors, and in ceiling areas. It works even when the leak isn’t causing visible water damage yet, which means we can catch problems before they become expensive repairs.
The accuracy depends on proper equipment calibration and operator experience. We’re trained specifically in thermal leak detection, so we know how to interpret the images correctly and distinguish between actual leaks and other temperature variations in your home.
Our leak detection methods are designed to be non-invasive. We use electronic leak detection equipment, thermal imaging, and acoustic sensors that locate leaks without any digging or property damage during the detection process.
For underground leaks, we can pinpoint the exact location before any excavation begins. This means minimal disruption to your landscaping, driveways, or other property features. When repair work is necessary, we know exactly where to dig rather than searching over a large area.
In most cases, the only property access we need is to walk around your home with our detection equipment. The actual repair might require some excavation, but the detection phase itself won’t damage your property.
We provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Winnetka because water damage doesn’t wait for business hours. When you call with an emergency, we dispatch a technician immediately to assess your situation.
Response time depends on your location in Winnetka and current demand, but we typically arrive within a few hours of your call. For true emergencies where water is actively damaging your property, we prioritize those calls and respond as quickly as possible.
Our emergency service includes the same advanced detection technology we use during regular hours. You don’t get reduced service just because it’s after hours or on a weekend. We bring the full range of leak detection equipment to every emergency call.
A slab leak occurs in the water or sewer lines that run underneath your home’s concrete foundation. These leaks are particularly problematic because they’re difficult to access and can cause significant foundation damage if left untreated.
Slab leaks often develop slowly and show symptoms like warm spots on floors, unexplained increases in water bills, or the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off. Sometimes you’ll notice cracks in walls or floors as the leaked water affects your foundation.
Other leaks in walls, ceilings, or above-ground pipes are generally easier to repair once located. Slab leaks require specialized detection equipment and repair techniques. We use electronic leak detection specifically designed for under-slab applications to locate these problems without breaking up your foundation unnecessarily.
