Our Reviews
You’re not just getting leak detection—you’re getting peace of mind. Our advanced equipment pinpoints exactly where water is escaping, whether it’s behind walls, under floors, or buried underground around your Hermosa property.
No more guessing games with expensive exploratory digging. No more watching your water bills climb while mystery leaks drain your wallet. Our non-invasive detection methods locate problems without damaging your home, giving you clear answers and a path forward.
When we’re done, you’ll know exactly what’s wrong, where it’s happening, and what it’ll cost to fix. That’s the difference between wondering about leaks and actually stopping them.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been serving Hermosa and the greater Chicagoland area with professional plumbing solutions that residents actually trust. We’re not the biggest company, but we’re the one your neighbors call when they need leak detection done right the first time.
Our technicians understand how Chicago-area homes are built, from older brick construction to newer developments in Hermosa. We know where leaks typically hide, what causes them, and how to find them without tearing up your property.
Licensed, bonded, and insured—because when we’re working in your home, you deserve complete protection and professional accountability.
We start with a thorough assessment of your situation—when you first noticed signs, where you suspect problems, and what’s been happening with your water bills. This helps us focus our detection efforts where they’ll do the most good.
Next comes the technology. We use acoustic sensors to listen for the distinct sounds water makes when escaping pipes, even through walls and underground. Thermal imaging shows temperature differences that reveal hidden moisture. Pressure testing confirms exactly where your system is losing water.
You’ll see everything we find. We explain what each piece of equipment is detecting, show you the problem areas, and walk through repair options with upfront pricing. No technical jargon, no surprise fees—just clear information so you can make the right decision for your Hermosa home.

Our leak detection covers the full spectrum—from obvious drips to completely hidden problems that have been building for months. We locate leaks in walls, under concrete slabs, in underground service lines, and anywhere water flows through your Hermosa property.
The Chicago area’s freeze-thaw cycles create unique challenges for plumbing systems. Pipes that seemed fine in summer can develop stress fractures that only show up as mysterious water loss. Our equipment is specifically chosen to handle these regional conditions and find problems other methods miss.
Whether it’s a pinhole leak in a copper line, a cracked foundation pipe, or a failing connection behind finished walls, we have the tools and experience to locate it without unnecessary damage to your home. That’s what comprehensive leak detection actually means.
We use non-invasive acoustic and thermal imaging technology that detects leaks through walls without any drilling or cutting. Acoustic sensors pick up the distinct sound frequencies water makes when escaping pipes, even behind drywall or plaster.
Thermal imaging cameras show temperature differences where water is present, revealing leak locations as cooler or warmer spots on your walls. These methods work together to pinpoint problems with remarkable accuracy.
The only time we need to open walls is after we’ve confirmed exactly where the leak is located, which means minimal repair work and lower costs for you.
The most common sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill, especially if your usage habits haven’t changed. Even small leaks can waste thousands of gallons over time.
Watch for musty odors, especially in basements or areas near plumbing. Visible mold or mildew, damp spots on walls or floors, and the sound of running water when all fixtures are off are all red flags.
In Hermosa’s older homes, you might notice foundation settling, cracks in walls near plumbing areas, or warm spots on floors that could indicate a leak in radiant heating lines or hot water pipes underneath.
Most residential leak detection takes 1-3 hours, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the plumbing system. We’re thorough, but we’re also efficient with your time.
Simple cases where you have a good idea where the problem might be can be completed in under an hour. More complex situations—like intermittent leaks or multiple problem areas—might take longer as we systematically check each potential location.
We always provide a time estimate upfront and keep you updated if we discover additional areas that need attention. Our goal is to find every leak in one visit so you’re not dealing with callback appointments.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency leak detection throughout Hermosa and the surrounding Chicagoland area. Water damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Emergency situations include active leaks causing flooding, sudden water pressure drops indicating major line breaks, or any situation where water is actively damaging your property. We prioritize these calls and typically respond within an hour.
For less urgent situations—like gradually increasing water bills or suspected slow leaks—we can usually schedule same-day or next-day service depending on our availability.
Our leak detection service includes the complete diagnostic process: acoustic testing, thermal imaging, pressure testing, and a detailed report of all findings with repair recommendations and upfront pricing.
You’ll receive documentation showing exactly where leaks were found, photos of problem areas, and a clear explanation of what needs to be repaired. There are no hidden fees for equipment use or diagnostic time.
If you choose us for the repair work, we often credit the detection fee toward the repair cost. This approach ensures you get the most value from both the detection and repair services.
Absolutely. Underground leak detection is one of our specialties, especially important for Hermosa properties with older service lines that may have been affected by ground shifting or tree root intrusion.
We use ground-penetrating acoustic equipment and correlation technology to locate leaks in buried water lines, sewer pipes, and service connections. This equipment can detect leaks several feet underground without any digging.
Once we’ve pinpointed the leak location, we mark it clearly and provide you with options for repair. This targeted approach means minimal excavation and lower repair costs compared to guessing where to dig.
