Our Reviews
You get pinpoint accuracy without the guesswork. Our thermal imaging and acoustic detection technology locates leaks behind walls, under floors, and underground without tearing up your property.
No more ripping out drywall hoping to find the source. No more watching your water bill climb while the real problem stays hidden. You get the exact location, a clear repair plan, and your peace of mind back.
When we’re done, you know exactly what’s wrong, what it costs to fix, and how to prevent it from happening again.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc has been solving Chicago-area plumbing problems for years. We understand Oak Lawn’s unique challenges – from winter freeze damage to the hard water that clogs your pipes.
Our licensed, bonded, and insured technicians know this area’s plumbing systems inside and out. We’ve seen what happens to pipes during those brutal Chicago winters, and we know how to find problems before they become disasters.
You get 24/7 emergency service, upfront pricing, and technicians who actually show up when they say they will.
We start with a detailed assessment of your situation and symptoms. Then we deploy our detection arsenal – infrared cameras, acoustic listening devices, and pressure testing equipment.
Our thermal imaging cameras detect temperature variations caused by water movement behind walls and under floors. The acoustic equipment picks up the sound signatures of running water, even when it’s barely audible to human ears.
Once we pinpoint the exact location, we mark it clearly and explain what we found. You get a detailed assessment of the damage, repair options, and honest pricing before any work begins.

Our service covers everything from simple dripping faucets to complex underground water line breaks. We handle leak detection in walls, underfloor water leak detection, and underground water leak detection using state-of-the-art equipment.
Oak Lawn’s aging infrastructure and seasonal temperature swings create unique challenges. Many homes here have galvanized steel pipes that are prone to corrosion, and the freeze-thaw cycles put extra stress on all plumbing systems.
We’re equipped to handle slab leaks, water line leaks, and even those mysterious leaks that seem to come from nowhere. Every service includes moisture mapping, detailed documentation, and a clear path forward.
We use thermal imaging cameras and infrared technology that detect temperature differences through walls and floors. When water leaks, it creates temperature variations that our equipment picks up instantly.
Our acoustic detection devices listen for the specific sound frequencies that water makes when it’s moving through or escaping from pipes. This combination lets us pinpoint leak locations within inches, not feet.
You won’t see holes in your walls or torn-up floors from our detection process. We only recommend opening walls or floors after we’ve confirmed exactly where the problem is.
Watch for water bills that keep climbing without explanation – that’s often the first sign. Damp spots on walls, ceilings, or floors that won’t dry out are red flags, especially if they keep growing.
You might hear water running when all fixtures are turned off, or notice your water pressure has dropped. Soft spots in floors, musty odors, or visible mold growth all indicate hidden moisture problems.
Don’t wait if you see these signs. In Oak Lawn’s climate, small leaks become big problems fast, especially during winter when pipes are already stressed from temperature changes.
Most residential leak detection takes 1-2 hours, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the problem. We start by discussing your symptoms and any areas of concern.
The actual detection process involves systematically checking your plumbing system with our equipment. We’ll explain what we’re doing as we work and show you what our instruments are detecting.
When we find the leak, we’ll mark the location clearly and document everything with photos. You’ll get a detailed report explaining the problem, repair options, and cost estimates before we leave.
Absolutely. Our equipment works on all pipe materials – copper, PVC, galvanized steel, and PEX. Each material has different acoustic signatures, and our technicians are trained to interpret them all.
Older Oak Lawn homes often have galvanized steel pipes that are prone to corrosion and pinhole leaks. Newer homes might have PEX or copper that can develop problems at joints or from installation issues.
We adjust our detection methods based on your plumbing system’s age, materials, and layout. The technology works the same way regardless of when your home was built.
Underground and slab leaks require specialized detection, which is exactly what we provide. We use electromagnetic pipeline locators to trace your water lines precisely, then acoustic equipment to find the leak point.
For slab leaks, we can often detect them through the concrete using our listening devices and pressure testing. This tells us exactly where to access the pipe with minimal concrete removal.
Underground leaks are located using a combination of pressure testing, acoustic detection, and sometimes tracer gas. We mark the exact spot so excavation is minimal and targeted, saving you time and money on repairs.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Oak Lawn and the surrounding areas. Water damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Emergency situations include active flooding, sudden pressure loss, or any leak that’s causing immediate property damage. We prioritize these calls and typically arrive within an hour during emergencies.
Our emergency service includes the same thorough detection process, but we focus first on stopping active damage. Once the immediate crisis is handled, we complete the full assessment and provide repair recommendations.
