You get the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly where the problem is and how to fix it properly the first time.

All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving the Chicagoland area with professional plumbing services, understanding the unique challenges that Illinois weather and local infrastructure present to homeowners.
We know that Orland Hills homes, many built in the 1980s, face specific issues with aging copper pipes and the freeze-thaw cycles that can crack pipes and create hidden leaks. Our team brings this local knowledge to every job, along with the advanced equipment needed to solve problems efficiently.
As a licensed, bonded, and insured company, we stand behind our work with transparent pricing and honest communication. When you call us, you’re working with professionals who understand both the technical side of leak detection and the importance of respecting your home and your time.
Our leak detection process starts with a thorough assessment of your situation. We listen to your concerns, examine visible signs, and use our experience to narrow down the most likely areas where leaks might be hiding.
Next, we deploy our specialized equipment. Our acoustic leak detectors can hear water moving through pipes behind walls and under slabs, while our infrared cameras identify temperature variations that indicate moisture where it shouldn’t be. This technology allows us to pinpoint leak locations with 95% accuracy.
Once we’ve located the leak, we explain exactly what we found and discuss your repair options. Our goal is to access and fix the problem with minimal disruption to your property. After the repair, we test everything to ensure the leak is completely resolved and your plumbing system is working properly.

Our leak detection service covers the full spectrum of water leak issues that Orland Hills homeowners face. We locate slab leaks under concrete foundations, wall leaks behind drywall, and underground leaks in your yard—all without the guesswork that leads to unnecessary property damage.
For Orland Hills homes with aging infrastructure, we’re particularly experienced with corroded copper pipes and the effects of Illinois’s harsh winters on plumbing systems. We understand how shifting clay soils common in this area can stress underground pipes and create slow leaks that gradually worsen over time.
Our service includes detailed reporting of what we find, recommendations for immediate repairs, and guidance on preventing future issues. We also work with your insurance company when coverage applies, providing the documentation needed to process claims efficiently.
We use advanced non-invasive technology that eliminates the need for destructive exploration. Our acoustic leak detection equipment can hear the sound of water moving through pipes, even when they’re hidden behind walls or under concrete slabs.
We also use infrared thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature variations caused by water leaks. These cameras can identify moisture patterns that aren’t visible to the naked eye, allowing us to pinpoint leak locations with remarkable accuracy.
This technology-first approach means we can locate your leak and plan the most efficient repair strategy before making any cuts or holes in your property. You get faster results with minimal disruption to your home.
Several warning signs can indicate hidden water leaks in your Orland Hills home. The most common is an unexplained increase in your water bill, especially during months when your usage patterns haven’t changed.
Physical signs include damp or discolored spots on walls and ceilings, musty odors that suggest mold growth, and the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off. You might also notice soft spots in flooring, cracks in walls or foundation, or areas of your yard that stay wet longer than they should.
For slab leaks specifically, watch for warm spots on floors, reduced water pressure, or cracks in your home’s foundation. These issues often develop gradually, which is why regular professional inspection can catch problems before they become expensive emergencies.
Professional leak detection is a fraction of the cost of repairing water damage from undetected leaks. A single pinhole leak can waste 6,000 to 10,000 gallons of water annually, adding $100 to $500 to your water bills alone.
Slab leaks, if left untreated, can cost $2,000 to $5,000 in foundation and structural repairs. Wall leaks can destroy drywall, flooring, and personal belongings while creating conditions for mold growth that requires expensive remediation.
Our leak detection service typically pays for itself by preventing just one major repair incident. Early detection also allows for less invasive repairs, which cost significantly less than emergency fixes that require extensive property restoration.
Yes, our equipment works effectively on all pipe materials commonly found in Orland Hills homes, including copper, galvanized steel, PVC, and PEX. Many homes in the area built in the 1980s have copper piping that’s now reaching the age where corrosion becomes a concern.
Our acoustic detection methods are particularly effective on metallic pipes, while our infrared technology works well regardless of pipe material. We adjust our approach based on your home’s specific plumbing configuration and the materials involved.
We’re also familiar with the unique challenges that different pipe materials present in Illinois’s climate. Copper pipes can develop pinhole leaks from corrosion, while galvanized steel pipes may have buildup that creates pressure issues leading to leaks. Our experience with local housing stock helps us know where to look and what to expect.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Orland Hills and the surrounding Chicagoland area. Water leaks don’t follow business hours, and some situations require immediate attention to prevent extensive property damage.
Emergency situations include visible water where it shouldn’t be, sudden loss of water pressure, sounds of running water when fixtures are off, or discovery of water damage that suggests an active leak. We respond quickly to assess the situation and stop further damage.
Our emergency service includes the same advanced detection technology we use for scheduled appointments. We arrive prepared to locate the leak source and provide immediate solutions to protect your property while planning the most effective permanent repair approach.
Insurance coverage for leak detection varies by policy and the specific circumstances of the leak. Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, but they typically don’t cover the cost of leak detection services or damage from slow leaks that develop over time.
However, if we detect a covered leak, the resulting water damage repairs are often covered. We provide detailed documentation of our findings, including photos and technical reports, to support insurance claims when coverage applies.
We recommend checking with your insurance company about your specific policy coverage. Regardless of insurance coverage, investing in professional leak detection is usually cost-effective compared to the expense of major water damage repairs and the disruption they cause to your daily life.
