Our professional leak detection service stops this cycle. We use advanced acoustic sensors and infrared cameras to pinpoint exactly where water is escaping your pipes. No guesswork, no unnecessary property damage, no inflated repair bills from missed problems.
Most homeowners save over $1,000 annually by catching leaks early. The water damage that develops from undetected leaks typically costs between $1,000 and $5,000 to repair. Our detection service pays for itself by preventing these expensive surprises.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc has been solving plumbing problems for Chicago-area homeowners and businesses for years. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured professionals who understand the unique challenges of Harwood Heights plumbing systems.
Living in a village surrounded by Chicago means dealing with older infrastructure and specific water pressure issues that many plumbers don’t understand. We do. Our team has worked on everything from vintage Chicago bungalows to modern commercial buildings in Cook County.
When you call us, you’re getting local expertise backed by professional credentials. We know which neighborhoods deal with recurring slab leak issues, where underground pipes typically fail, and how Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles affect your plumbing. That knowledge makes all the difference in finding your leak quickly and fixing it right.
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your plumbing system, looking for obvious signs like water stains, unusual sounds, or pressure changes. Our technicians use specialized listening equipment to detect the acoustic signature of water escaping from pipes, even when it’s happening behind walls or under concrete slabs.
Next, we deploy infrared cameras that can see temperature differences caused by water leaks. This technology shows us exactly where water is pooling or moving through areas it shouldn’t be. We can often pinpoint a leak’s location within inches without breaking through walls or digging up floors.
Once we’ve located the leak, we explain exactly what we found, show you the evidence, and provide upfront pricing for repairs. You’ll know the full scope of work and cost before we start any repairs. Most leak detection appointments are completed the same day, and we can often handle repairs immediately if you choose to move forward.

Our leak detection service covers every type of water leak you might face in Harwood Heights. We specialize in finding leaks in walls, under floors, in concrete slabs, and in underground pipes that serve your property. Each situation requires different tools and techniques, which is why we carry comprehensive detection equipment.
For Harwood Heights homeowners, slab leaks are particularly common due to the area’s soil conditions and the age of many homes. These leaks happen when pipes under your concrete foundation develop cracks or breaks. They’re nearly impossible to detect without professional equipment, but they can cause massive damage to your foundation and flooring.
We also handle the tricky underground leaks that affect your main water line or sewer connections. These often show up as unexplained wet spots in your yard, sudden drops in water pressure, or unusually high water bills. Our acoustic detection equipment can trace these leaks along their entire path, so we dig in exactly the right spot instead of tearing up your entire yard.
Professional leak detection in Harwood Heights typically ranges from $400 to $900, depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and the type of leak we’re searching for. This might seem significant upfront, but it’s a fraction of what you’ll spend if a hidden leak causes structural damage to your home.
Most water damage repairs cost between $1,000 and $5,000, and that’s just for the immediate damage. If mold develops, which can happen within 24 to 48 hours of a leak, you’re looking at additional remediation costs. Our detection service often pays for itself by preventing these expensive problems.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Many homeowners find that catching one significant leak early saves them more than enough to cover our detection fee several times over.
The most obvious sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill. If your usage habits haven’t changed but your bill keeps climbing, you likely have a leak somewhere in your system. Even small leaks can waste significant amounts of water over time.
Look for water stains on walls or ceilings, especially if they appear suddenly or keep growing. Musty odors in your home often indicate hidden moisture from leaks, and you might notice soft spots in floors or walls where water has been accumulating behind surfaces.
You should also pay attention to changes in water pressure, sounds of running water when all fixtures are turned off, or wet spots in your yard that don’t correspond to sprinkler coverage. Any of these signs warrant professional leak detection to prevent more serious damage.
Yes, we use non-invasive leak detection methods that pinpoint leak locations without tearing up your property. Our acoustic sensors can hear the sound of water escaping from pipes, even when those pipes are behind walls or under concrete slabs. This technology is sensitive enough to detect leaks through several inches of material.
We also use infrared cameras that detect temperature differences caused by water leaks. Water changes the thermal signature of materials it contacts, creating visible patterns on our thermal imaging equipment. This allows us to see exactly where water is accumulating or flowing, even when it’s completely hidden from view.
In most cases, we can locate your leak precisely enough that any necessary repairs require minimal disruption to your home. Instead of guessing and cutting multiple holes, we know exactly where to access the problem area.
Most leak detection appointments are completed within a few hours, and we often identify the problem location within the first hour of investigation. Our advanced equipment allows us to work efficiently without the trial-and-error approach that less experienced companies might use.
For emergency situations, we offer same-day service throughout Harwood Heights. Water leaks can cause damage quickly, especially if they’re affecting electrical systems or structural components of your home. Our 24/7 emergency service means you can get help immediately when you discover a serious leak.
Once we’ve located the leak, we can usually provide same-day repairs for most common leak types. More complex repairs, like slab leaks that require accessing pipes under your foundation, might take additional time, but we’ll give you a clear timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
