Our Reviews
You’ll sleep better knowing every hidden leak in your Irving Park home has been found and addressed. No more surprise water bills that make you question what’s happening behind your walls. No more wondering if that slight discoloration on your ceiling means disaster is brewing above.
Our advanced leak detection technology finds problems that others miss, giving you the complete picture of your home’s plumbing health. When we’re done, you’ll know exactly where you stand—and what needs attention before small issues become expensive emergencies.
This isn’t about selling you services you don’t need. It’s about giving you the information to make smart decisions about your most valuable investment.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Irving Park and the greater Chicago area with professional plumbing services that homeowners actually need. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your peace of mind matters as much as fixing the problem.
Irving Park’s historic homes—many built before 1940—present unique challenges that require real expertise. We understand how galvanized pipes behave after decades of Chicago winters, where leaks typically develop in older construction, and what warning signs actually mean something versus what’s just normal settling.
When you call us, you’re getting plumbers who’ve seen it all in neighborhoods just like yours. We know the difference between a quick fix and a real solution.
First, we listen. You tell us what you’ve noticed—higher water bills, damp spots, unusual sounds, or just a gut feeling something’s not right. This information guides where we focus our attention.
Next comes the technology. We use thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature variations that indicate moisture behind walls. Acoustic listening devices pinpoint the exact location of running water. Electronic leak detectors identify underground issues without digging up your yard.
The entire process is non-destructive. We’re not cutting holes in your walls to “investigate.” We’re using proven technology to give you definitive answers about what’s happening in your plumbing system—and what isn’t.

Our leak detection service includes comprehensive inspection of your entire plumbing system using multiple detection methods. You get thermal imaging for walls and floors, acoustic detection for underground lines, and electronic leak detection for areas that are difficult to access.
Irving Park’s aging infrastructure means we often find issues that have been developing slowly over time. Many of the neighborhood’s homes still have original galvanized pipes from the 1930s and 1940s. These systems weren’t designed for today’s water usage patterns, and Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles put additional stress on aging joints and connections.
We provide detailed documentation of everything we find, including photos and explanations of what each issue means for your home. You’ll understand not just what’s wrong, but why it’s happening and what your options are for addressing it.
We use thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature differences caused by moisture behind walls and floors. These cameras show us exactly where water is present without any destructive investigation. We also use acoustic listening equipment that can pinpoint the sound of running water, even when it’s behind multiple layers of drywall or under concrete slabs.
Electronic leak detection equipment helps us trace underground lines and identify problems in areas that aren’t easily accessible. This combination of technologies gives us a complete picture of your plumbing system without causing any damage to your home’s structure or finishes.
The technology is so precise that we can often tell you not just where a leak is located, but how significant it is and what’s likely causing it.
The most common early warning sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill, especially if your usage habits haven’t changed. You might notice damp or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or floors, or detect a musty smell that suggests hidden moisture.
In Irving Park’s older homes, you might hear running water when all fixtures are turned off, or notice that your water pressure has decreased gradually over time. Some homeowners notice warm spots on floors that could indicate a hot water line leak, or areas of their yard that stay green even during dry periods.
Don’t ignore these signs hoping they’ll resolve themselves. Hidden leaks typically get worse over time, and the longer they go unaddressed, the more damage they cause to your home’s structure and the more expensive they become to repair.
Leak detection costs in the Chicago area typically range from $150 to $700, depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and the detection methods required. We provide upfront pricing before we begin any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
The investment in professional leak detection often saves homeowners thousands of dollars in water damage repairs. A small leak that goes undetected for months can cause structural damage, mold growth, and other issues that cost far more to address than the original detection and repair.
We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. When we give you a quote, that’s what you’ll pay—no matter how long the detection process takes or what we need to do to find the source of your leak.
Yes, our equipment is specifically designed to handle the challenges of older plumbing systems. Irving Park’s historic homes often have galvanized pipes, cast iron drains, and complex routing that can make leak detection more challenging, but our technology is up to the task.
We can detect leaks in walls, under slabs, in crawl spaces, behind finished basements, and in underground lines. Our thermal imaging works especially well in older homes because the temperature differences between wet and dry areas are often more pronounced in structures with less insulation.
Many of the leaks we find in older homes have been developing slowly over years. The advanced age of plumbing materials means that small issues can become big problems if they’re not caught early, which is why regular leak detection is especially important for homes built before 1960.
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Irving Park and the greater Chicago area. Plumbing emergencies don’t follow business hours, and neither do we.
If you discover signs of a major leak—such as water pooling where it shouldn’t be, a sudden drop in water pressure, or obvious water damage—don’t wait. The sooner we can locate and address the problem, the less damage it will cause to your home.
Our emergency response team arrives equipped with all the detection equipment needed to quickly identify the source of your leak and determine the best course of action. We understand that emergency situations are stressful, so we focus on clear communication and getting you the information you need to make informed decisions about repairs.
Once we locate a leak, we provide you with detailed information about what we found, including photos and explanations of the issue. We’ll explain what caused the leak, how significant it is, and what your options are for repair.
We provide upfront pricing for any repairs that are needed, and we never pressure you to make immediate decisions unless it’s a true emergency. You’ll have time to understand your options and make informed choices about how to proceed.
Our goal is to give you all the information you need to protect your home and make smart decisions about your plumbing system. Whether the solution is a simple repair or a more comprehensive upgrade, we’ll explain everything clearly so you can move forward with confidence.
