The lay of the land
College Park sits in central Oakville, around Trafalgar Road between the QEW and Upper Middle Road, and takes its name from Sheridan College's Trafalgar campus. Homes are largely from the 1960s and 1970s: side-splits, back-splits, bungalows and two-storeys, along with townhouse complexes and apartment buildings near Trafalgar.

What breaks in houses of this age
- Original copper supply lines developing pinhole leaks.
- Cast iron or early ABS drains with cracked fittings.
- Root intrusion in clay and first-generation plastic laterals.
- Gate valves that will no longer close fully.
Side-split layouts put bathrooms over living space, so slow leaks often show up as ceiling stains on a lower level. Leak detection finds the source without opening more than needed.
Rentals and multi-unit homes
With the college close by, a number of houses are rented to students or have secondary suites. More people means more laundry, more showers and more hair in drains. Adding a basement unit means checking drain capacity and venting. Landlords often book drain cleaning between tenancies.
If you own a rental here, make certain tenants know where the primary shut-off is. It saves a great deal of water when something goes wrong.
Drainage and backups
Older laterals and heavy use combine into main line clogs. A camera inspection tells you whether roots or a broken pipe are to blame. Read tree roots in sewer lines.

Straight answers to common calls
Do you work for landlords?
Yes. We can coordinate access with tenants and report back to the owner.
Why do my lower-level ceilings stain?
In split-level homes, bathrooms often sit over living areas. A slow leak at a toilet or tub drain is common.
