Our Reviews
That unexplained spike in your water bill isn’t just costing you money this month. Hidden leaks waste thousands of gallons while quietly destroying your property from the inside out.
When we find your leak early, you avoid the nightmare of major water damage repairs. No more ripping out drywall, replacing flooring, or dealing with mold remediation that can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
You get precise answers about where your leak is, how serious the damage is, and exactly what it takes to fix it. No more sleepless nights wondering if that water stain is getting worse.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving complex leak problems throughout Alpine and the Chicago area for years. We understand how Illinois weather cycles stress plumbing systems and where leaks typically develop in local properties.
Alpine’s mix of newer developments and established homes creates unique leak detection challenges. From clay soil that shifts and cracks underground pipes to older homes with original plumbing reaching failure points, we’ve seen it all.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your property deserves professional protection. Our technicians carry advanced leak detection equipment and have the local knowledge to solve problems efficiently.
We start by understanding your specific situation – when you first noticed the problem, where you’ve seen signs, and what your water usage patterns look like. This helps us focus our detection efforts on the most likely problem areas.
Our technicians use acoustic leak detection equipment to listen for the sound of escaping water, even through concrete and soil. Thermal imaging cameras show us temperature differences that reveal hidden moisture, while electronic leak detection pinpoints exact locations.
Once we locate your leak, we mark the spot and explain what we found. You see exactly where the problem is before any repair work begins, and we provide upfront pricing so you know what to expect.

Our comprehensive leak detection service covers every area where water problems hide in Alpine properties. We specialize in leak detection in walls, underfloor water leak detection, and underground water leak detection using the latest technology.
Alpine’s challenging soil conditions and temperature fluctuations create specific leak patterns we know how to find. Underground water leaks often occur where pipes enter foundations, while wall leaks typically develop at connection points and areas where pipes change direction.
You receive thorough documentation of any leaks we find, including photos and location details. We explain the urgency level of each problem and provide repair options that fit your budget and timeline.
Our professional-grade leak detection equipment can pinpoint leaks within inches of their actual location, even through concrete slabs and behind walls. We use multiple detection methods including acoustic listening devices, ground microphones, and thermal imaging cameras for maximum accuracy.
The acoustic equipment detects the specific frequency of water escaping from pressurized pipes, while our thermal cameras identify temperature variations that indicate moisture problems. This combination eliminates false positives and ensures we’re targeting the actual leak location.
We’ve successfully located leaks that other companies missed, including small pinhole leaks in copper pipes and hairline cracks in underground water lines. Our accuracy rate means you won’t pay for unnecessary exploratory work or property damage from digging in the wrong spots.
Alpine properties frequently experience underground water leak detection challenges due to clay soil that expands and contracts with moisture changes. This soil movement stresses underground pipes, especially at connection points and where lines enter the foundation.
Older Alpine homes often need leak detection in walls where original copper pipes develop pinhole leaks or galvanized steel pipes corrode from the inside. We also find many underfloor water leak detection cases where slab leaks develop in homes built on concrete foundations.
Seasonal temperature changes in Illinois create freeze-thaw cycles that stress plumbing systems. We commonly detect leaks in exterior wall pipes, basement areas where pipes run along foundation walls, and underground service lines that weren’t buried below the frost line.
Our leak detection service pricing is transparent and upfront – you know the cost before we start work. The investment typically ranges from $200-500 for residential properties, depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and the scope of detection needed.
This cost often pays for itself immediately through water bill savings. We’ve found leaks costing homeowners $100-300 per month in wasted water, meaning the detection service recovers its cost within weeks while preventing thousands in potential water damage.
Emergency leak detection may include additional charges for after-hours service, but we explain all costs clearly when you call. Many homeowners find that early leak detection saves them thousands compared to the cost of major water damage repairs and property restoration.
Yes, our non-invasive leak detection methods find leaks without breaking through walls, floors, or landscaping. We use advanced technology that works through building materials to locate problems before any demolition is necessary.
Our acoustic equipment detects water sounds through concrete, wood, and drywall, while thermal imaging shows us moisture patterns without opening walls. Electronic leak detection equipment can trace underground pipes and identify exact leak locations before any digging begins.
The only time we recommend opening walls or floors is when we’ve confirmed the leak location and it’s necessary for the actual repair. Even then, we minimize property damage by targeting the exact spot rather than searching through large areas. Most of our leak detection work is completed without any property damage at all.
We provide 24/7 emergency leak detection throughout Alpine and the surrounding Chicago area because water damage doesn’t wait for convenient timing. Our emergency response team prioritizes urgent situations where active leaks are causing ongoing property damage.
Emergency situations include cases where you hear water running behind walls, see water pooling with no obvious source, or notice sudden drops in water pressure that suggest major line breaks. We typically respond to emergency calls within 2-4 hours, depending on location and weather conditions.
Our emergency service includes immediate leak detection followed by temporary repairs to stop ongoing damage. We carry common repair materials and can often provide permanent fixes the same day. After-hours emergency service includes additional charges, but we explain all costs clearly when you call for help.
If you see active flooding or major water flow, shut off your main water supply immediately to prevent additional damage. The main shutoff is typically located near your water meter or where the service line enters your home.
For suspected leaks without visible water, avoid using unnecessary water and document what you’ve noticed with photos. Check your water meter reading, wait two hours without using any water, then check again – if the numbers changed, you likely have a leak somewhere in your system.
Move valuable items away from areas where you’ve noticed water stains or dampness, and avoid drilling or nailing into walls where you suspect leaks might be located. Don’t attempt to locate leaks yourself by opening walls or digging – this often causes more damage and can make professional detection more difficult.
