Our Reviews
You’re looking at peace of mind. When we find that hidden leak, you’re not just stopping water waste—you’re preventing the kind of structural damage that costs homeowners thousands of dollars and months of headaches.
Your water bills drop immediately. No more wondering why your utility costs keep climbing when you haven’t changed your usage. We pinpoint exactly where your money is literally going down the drain.
Most importantly, you keep your home safe. Hidden leaks don’t just waste water—they compromise your foundation, rot your walls, and create the perfect environment for mold growth that threatens your family’s health.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Englewood and the greater Chicago area with the kind of leak detection service that actually works. We’re not the company that shows up, tears apart your walls, and hopes for the best.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your investment in us needs to be a safe one. Our team knows Englewood’s housing stock—those beautiful homes built in the 1940s and earlier that make up nearly half the neighborhood.
Chicago’s brutal winters are tough on plumbing systems, and we’ve seen every type of freeze damage and pipe failure this climate can throw at a home. That local knowledge makes the difference between finding your leak quickly and turning your house into a construction zone.
First, we listen. Not just to you, but to your plumbing system. Our acoustic equipment picks up sounds that are completely outside human hearing range—the tiny drips and flows that tell us exactly where water is going where it shouldn’t.
Next comes the technology that sets us apart. We use infrared thermal imaging to see temperature variations behind your walls and under your floors. Hot spots show us exactly where water is pooling or moving through spaces it shouldn’t be.
When we need to go deeper, our electromagnetic pipeline locators trace your plumbing lines with surgical precision. We know exactly where your pipes run before we ever consider making a single cut.
The result? We access the exact problem area with minimal disruption to your property. No guesswork, no unnecessary excavation, no hoping we got it right the first time.

Our leak detection service covers every type of water intrusion problem Englewood homeowners face. We find leaks in walls, under floors, in your foundation, and in those hard-to-reach areas where most companies just give up.
Englewood’s housing presents unique challenges. With nearly 47% of homes built before 1940, we’re dealing with plumbing systems that have seen decades of Chicago winters. Cast iron pipes, galvanized steel lines, and joints that have been expanding and contracting through temperature extremes for generations.
We handle everything from the obvious—burst pipes and visible water damage—to the subtle signs that most homeowners miss. That slight increase in your water bill, the musty smell in your basement, or the way your water pressure isn’t quite what it used to be.
Our service includes complete testing for leaks in your main water line, sewer connections, and all the supply lines throughout your home. We also check for the kind of slab leaks that can undermine your foundation if left unaddressed.
We use thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature differences behind your walls. When water is present where it shouldn’t be, it creates distinct temperature patterns that show up clearly on our infrared equipment.
We also use acoustic leak detection equipment that picks up the sound of water movement at frequencies you can’t hear. Even the smallest drip creates vibrations that our sensors can trace back to the source.
This technology means we can pinpoint the exact location of a leak before we make any cuts. When we do need to access a pipe, we’re making one small, precise opening instead of tearing apart entire sections of your wall hoping to find the problem.
Your water bill is the first place most hidden leaks show up. If your usage has jumped without explanation, you’re probably losing water somewhere in your system.
Look for water stains on walls or ceilings, especially if they appear after we’ve had freezing weather. Musty odors in basements or crawl spaces often indicate water where it doesn’t belong. You might notice your water pressure isn’t what it used to be, or hear water running when all your fixtures are turned off.
In Englewood’s older homes, pay attention to any new cracks in your foundation or changes in how doors and windows fit. Slab leaks can cause settling that affects your entire house structure.
The numbers are staggering. A single dripping faucet wastes over 3,000 gallons per year. A running toilet can waste 4,000 gallons per day—that’s enough to add $35 or more to your monthly water bill.
But hidden leaks are worse. A small crack in a supply line can waste 10,000 gallons per month without you ever seeing the water. We’ve found leaks in Englewood homes that were costing families over $200 extra per month in water bills.
The typical home loses between 2,000 and 20,000 gallons per year to leaks. In a neighborhood like Englewood where many homes are 80+ years old, those numbers tend to be on the higher end.
Absolutely. Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on plumbing systems. When water freezes in your pipes, it expands with tremendous force—enough to crack cast iron, split copper joints, and push apart connections that have held for decades.
The bigger problem is that freeze damage often doesn’t show up immediately. A pipe might crack during a cold snap in January, but the leak doesn’t become obvious until the ground thaws in spring. By then, you’ve got months of hidden water damage.
Englewood’s older homes are especially vulnerable because many still have original plumbing from the 1940s and 1950s. Those systems weren’t designed for the kind of temperature extremes we see today, and they’re reaching the end of their useful life.
Waiting is the expensive choice. By the time you see water damage, you’re not just paying for leak repair—you’re paying for drywall replacement, flooring repair, potential mold remediation, and possibly structural work.
A leak detection service costs a fraction of what you’ll spend on water damage restoration. We’ve seen homeowners face $10,000+ repair bills because they waited too long to address a leak that would have cost $300 to fix if caught early.
Plus, hidden leaks don’t get better on their own. That small drip behind your wall is slowly rotting your studs, damaging your insulation, and creating conditions for mold growth. The longer you wait, the more expensive the fix becomes.
Yes, we’re available 24/7 for leak detection emergencies. Plumbing problems don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
When you’re dealing with active water damage or suspect a major leak, every hour matters. We can be at your Englewood home quickly to assess the situation and stop the water before it causes more damage.
Our emergency service includes the same advanced detection technology we use during regular hours. We don’t cut corners just because it’s 2 AM on a Sunday—you get the same thorough, professional service that finds the problem right the first time.
