Our Reviews
You wake up to normal water pressure, no mysterious wet spots, and bills that make sense. Your foundation stays solid, your walls stay dry, and you sleep knowing hidden leaks aren’t silently destroying your investment.
That’s what happens when you catch water leaks before they turn into disasters. In Northfield’s climate, where freezing temperatures and aging infrastructure create perfect conditions for pipe failures, early detection isn’t just smart—it’s essential.
Our thermal imaging technology spots problems you can’t see, saving you from the nightmare of torn-up walls, flooded basements, and repair bills that can hit thousands of dollars.
All Rooter Hydro Jetting Experts Inc. has been solving plumbing problems in the Chicagoland area for years. We understand what Northfield homeowners face—from the freeze-thaw cycles that crack pipes to the older infrastructure that can fail without warning.
We’re not the guys who show up, guess where your leak might be, and start cutting holes in your walls. We use professional-grade thermal imaging and electromagnetic locators to pinpoint exactly where water is escaping—before we touch a single tool to your property.
Licensed, bonded, and insured, we’ve built our reputation on straight answers, fair pricing, and getting the job done right the first time.
First, we listen. Not just to what you’re telling us, but to what your pipes are saying. Our acoustic equipment picks up sounds your ears can’t detect—the whisper of water escaping from pipes hidden behind walls or under concrete slabs.
Next comes the thermal imaging. Our infrared cameras see temperature differences that reveal moisture patterns, showing us exactly where water is traveling through your walls, under your floors, or around your foundation. No guesswork, no unnecessary destruction.
When we need to pinpoint underground leaks, we use electromagnetic pipeline locators that map your plumbing system and identify problem spots with surgical precision. This means minimal digging, faster repairs, and lower costs for you.

Our leak detection service covers every type of water leak that threatens Northfield homes. We find leaks in walls using thermal imaging that sees through drywall and insulation. Underground water leaks get located with ground-penetrating technology that maps your entire system.
Slab leaks—those sneaky problems under your concrete foundation—are no match for our acoustic and infrared equipment. We detect underfloor water leaks before they undermine your home’s stability or create mold problems that affect your family’s health.
In Northfield, where winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing, we’re especially skilled at finding freeze-related damage that might not show symptoms until spring. Our comprehensive approach means we don’t just find the leak you called about—we identify potential problems that could save you emergency calls down the road.
Leak detection in Northfield typically costs between $150 and $700, depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and the type of leak we’re tracking down. Slab leaks under concrete foundations are on the higher end because they require specialized equipment and more time to locate precisely.
We provide upfront pricing before we start any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. Many homeowners find that professional detection actually saves money compared to the trial-and-error approach that can result in unnecessary wall repairs and missed leaks.
Most importantly, catching a leak early through professional detection costs far less than dealing with water damage, mold remediation, or structural repairs that can run into thousands of dollars.
Yes, our thermal imaging and infrared technology can locate most leaks without any destructive testing. These cameras detect temperature differences that show us moisture patterns behind walls, under floors, and around foundations.
We also use acoustic equipment that picks up the sound of water escaping from pipes—sounds that are typically beyond human hearing range but clear as day to our professional-grade detection tools. This combination lets us pinpoint leak locations with remarkable accuracy.
The only time we need to open walls is for the actual repair, and by then we know exactly where to cut—minimizing damage and keeping your repair costs down. Our goal is always to find the problem with the least possible disruption to your home.
The most obvious sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill, especially if your usage habits haven’t changed. You might also notice damp spots on walls or ceilings, musty odors that suggest mold growth, or the sound of running water when all your fixtures are turned off.
In Northfield’s climate, watch for signs that are specific to freeze-thaw damage: water stains that appear in spring, sudden drops in water pressure, or areas of your yard that stay unusually green or soggy. These can indicate underground leaks from winter pipe damage.
Don’t ignore subtle signs like peeling paint, warped flooring, or areas that feel warm when they shouldn’t. These often point to hidden leaks that are causing damage you can’t see yet. Early detection prevents small problems from becoming expensive disasters.
Most leak detection services take between 1-3 hours, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the plumbing system. Simple leaks in accessible areas might be located in under an hour, while underground or slab leaks can take longer to pinpoint precisely.
Our thermal imaging and acoustic equipment work quickly, but we take the time needed to be thorough. It’s better to spend an extra hour during detection than to miss a leak that will cause problems later.
We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we arrive and keep you updated throughout the process. Our goal is to be efficient while being absolutely certain we’ve identified all the issues that need attention.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Northfield and the surrounding areas. Water leaks don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we when you’re facing a plumbing emergency.
Emergency situations include burst pipes, rapidly spreading water damage, or any leak that’s actively threatening your property. We understand that every minute counts when water is damaging your home, so we prioritize rapid response for these urgent calls.
For non-emergency detection services, we can usually schedule you within 24-48 hours. But if you’re dealing with active water damage or a leak that’s getting worse, don’t wait—call us immediately and we’ll get someone to your property as quickly as possible.
Once we locate your leak, we’ll show you exactly where the problem is and explain what’s causing it. We use our thermal imaging display to give you a clear picture of the issue, so you understand what needs to be repaired.
We’ll provide you with a detailed estimate for the repair work, explaining your options and recommending the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes a simple pipe repair is all that’s needed; other times we might recommend preventive measures to avoid future problems.
We handle the complete repair process, from the initial detection through final testing to ensure the leak is completely resolved. Our goal is to fix the problem once and fix it right, so you don’t have to worry about the same issue recurring.
