Our Reviews
You get precise answers, not expensive guesswork. Our thermal imaging and acoustic equipment pinpoints leaks behind walls, under slabs, and in underground pipes without any digging or demolition.
No more wondering if that damp spot means disaster. No more mysterious spikes in your water bill. No more sleepless nights worrying about hidden damage spreading through your home.
When we finish, you’ll know exactly what’s wrong, where it’s located, and what it’ll cost to fix. Most importantly, you’ll have stopped the leak before it turns into thousands of dollars in water damage repair bills.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. serves Willow Springs homeowners who deal with aging water infrastructure and flood-prone conditions near the Des Plaines River. We’ve seen how this area’s older copper pipes and galvanized lines fail in predictable ways.
Licensed, bonded, and insured, we understand the specific challenges of detecting leaks in homes built decades ago. Your 1960s ranch has different plumbing vulnerabilities than newer construction, and we know where to look.
You’re getting local expertise from professionals who’ve traced leaks through countless Willow Springs basements, crawl spaces, and foundation walls. We know this community’s plumbing patterns because we’ve been fixing them for years.
First, we check your water meter and inspect visible plumbing to confirm you have a leak and get clues about its location. This preliminary work often tells us whether we’re dealing with a supply line or drain issue.
Then we deploy our detection equipment. Thermal cameras reveal temperature differences that show exactly where water is escaping. Acoustic listening devices pick up the distinct sound signature of water under pressure, even through concrete and soil.
We mark the precise location and show you exactly what we found before any repair work begins. You’ll see the problem area clearly marked on your wall or floor. When repairs are needed, we make the smallest possible access point and restore everything to original condition.

We detect leaks in walls, underfloor water leak detection, underground water leak detection, and plumbing leak detection throughout your entire system. Our service covers everything from pinhole leaks in copper pipes to major breaks in underground water lines.
Willow Springs’ location in a FEMA flood zone means we pay special attention to foundation and basement leak issues. The area’s aging water main infrastructure – with the local water commission replacing over 3,000 feet of pipe annually – creates specific vulnerabilities we know how to find.
Our equipment works especially well in this area’s older homes where pipes run through uninsulated walls and cramped crawl spaces. We can detect temperature anomalies and moisture problems that other companies miss, particularly in homes with original plumbing systems from the 1960s and 1970s that are common throughout Willow Springs.
Our thermal imaging and acoustic equipment can locate leaks within inches of their actual position, even through concrete slabs and buried several feet underground. We mark the exact spot before any digging begins.
The thermal cameras detect temperature differences as small as one degree, showing us precisely where escaping water is cooling or warming the surrounding area. Acoustic equipment picks up the specific frequency signature of pressurized water escaping from pipes, distinguishing it from other sounds.
This accuracy means we typically need to expose only a few square feet of area to access and repair the leak. Compare that to traditional methods that might require digging up entire sections of yard or floor to find the problem through trial and error.
Call us immediately if your water bill jumps 25% or more without increased usage, if you hear water running when all fixtures are off, or if you see new damp spots on walls or ceilings. These signs often indicate active leaks that are causing ongoing damage.
Musty odors in basements or crawl spaces, soft spots in hardwood floors, or bubbling paint and wallpaper also signal hidden moisture problems. In Willow Springs’ flood-prone environment, these issues can escalate quickly during heavy rains or seasonal flooding.
Don’t wait if you notice your water meter spinning when no water is being used, or if you find wet areas in your yard during dry weather. These are classic signs of underground leaks that waste hundreds of gallons daily and can undermine your foundation if left unaddressed.
Yes, we respond to leak emergencies 24/7 throughout Willow Springs and surrounding areas. Burst pipes and major leaks can cause thousands in damage within hours, especially in basements and crawl spaces where water can spread undetected.
Our typical emergency response time is under 60 minutes. We’ll help you shut off water supplies over the phone if needed and provide immediate leak location services to stop ongoing damage. Emergency service includes temporary repairs to contain the situation until permanent fixes can be completed.
Given Willow Springs’ older housing stock and proximity to flood-prone areas, we keep emergency equipment ready specifically for this community’s common leak scenarios. We understand that timing is critical when water is actively damaging your home.
Absolutely. We use specialized acoustic equipment designed for underground leak detection in both water supply lines and sewer systems. This equipment can detect leaks in pipes buried up to 8 feet deep without any excavation.
For sewer lines, we combine acoustic detection with video camera inspection to provide complete diagnostics. The cameras show us the interior condition of your pipes while acoustic equipment confirms the exact location of any breaks or leaks.
This is particularly important in Willow Springs where many homes have original clay or cast iron sewer lines that are reaching end-of-life. We can identify problems before they cause basement backups or foundation settling issues that are expensive to repair.
Our leak detection service starts with upfront pricing – no hidden fees or surprise charges. The service includes complete property inspection, advanced equipment deployment, precise leak location marking, and a detailed written report of findings.
You’ll receive exact leak locations marked on your property, photos of our findings, and a clear explanation of what needs repair. The detection fee is separate from repair costs, so you can get a second opinion or choose your own contractor if preferred.
If we don’t locate a leak, you only pay the detection service fee. If we do find problems, we provide detailed repair estimates with no pressure to decide immediately. Many clients appreciate having time to review options, especially for larger underground repairs.
Our thermal imaging cameras detect moisture and temperature changes through drywall, plaster, and other wall materials without making any holes or contact with the wall surface. The cameras reveal exactly where water is escaping and how far moisture has spread.
We can distinguish between supply line leaks (which show cooler temperatures) and drain line leaks (which may show warmer temperatures) based on thermal patterns. This tells us what type of repair will be needed before opening any walls.
When wall access is necessary for repairs, we know exactly where to make the smallest possible opening – typically just a few inches square instead of exploratory holes throughout the wall. This precision saves significant money on both detection and repair restoration costs.
