From Pearson Airport to Oakville Homes: Why Residents Trust 17 Plumbing for Leak Investigations and Pipe Replacements


Big Projects, Local Trust

When Toronto Pearson International Airport discovered a critical plumbing leak, they didn’t leave it to chance. They called in 17 Plumbing & Construction Design Ltd., a licensed and trusted Oakville-based plumbing company, to handle a complex leak investigation and pipe replacement under one of Canada’s busiest facilities.

But what does an airport job have to do with homeowners in Oakville? Quite a lot. If we can deliver reliable plumbing services under the high-pressure environment of Pearson Airport, imagine the peace of mind we can bring to your Oakville home.

Our Task

The airport’s facilities team reported a severe leak in a cast iron pipe system. Upon investigation, we found an 18-foot cracked pipe that required immediate replacement.

Our Approach

  1. Leak investigation: Using advanced tools to locate the exact source without unnecessary demolition.
  2. Coordination: Working with airport staff to minimize disruption in a highly secure environment.
  3. Replacement: Removing and replacing the 18-foot cast iron section with modern piping, ensuring proper flow and long-term durability.
  4. Testing: Running full water flow and pressure tests before closing the project.

This was a zero-error job. At Pearson, failure is not an option — and we delivered on time, safely, and professionally.

Why This Matters to Oakville Residents

Now, you might be thinking: “That’s impressive for an airport, but my home isn’t Pearson.”

Here’s why it matters: plumbing problems don’t care if it’s a billion-dollar airport or a single-family home in Oakville.


Oakville Homes Face Their Own Plumbing Challenges:

  • Aging infrastructure: Many Oakville neighborhoods (River Oaks, Glen Abbey, Kerr Village) have homes with older pipes where leaks are common.
  • Basement flooding risks: With Oakville’s mix of clay soil and seasonal rainfall, water leaks can quickly lead to foundation damage.
  • Hidden leaks: A small drip inside a wall can cause mold, structural issues, and skyrocketing water bills.
  • Pipe replacements: Just like the airport, many Oakville homes eventually need partial or full pipe replacements for safety and efficiency.

If Pearson Airport can trust us with their infrastructure, Oakville residents can rest assured that we bring the same professionalism, tools, and care to their homes.


How This Applies to Oakville Homes

Imagine this: You notice a damp patch in your River Oaks basement. Is it a leaking foundation? A cracked drainpipe? A dripping water line behind drywall?

Instead of guessing, we perform a full leak investigation using the same approach we used at YYZ:

  1. Locate the leak precisely.
  2. Assess the damage.
  3. Repair or replace pipes with minimal disruption.

Result: You save money, protect your home, and avoid a small leak turning into a full-scale flood.


Why Trust Matters in Plumbing

At the end of the day, plumbing is about trust.

  • You trust us to show up on time.
  • You trust us to diagnose the issue correctly.
  • You trust us to complete the job without hidden surprises.

Pearson Airport trusted 17 Plumbing & Construction Design Ltd. with their critical infrastructure. Oakville residents can have the same peace of mind knowing their homes are in the hands of proven professionals.
