About Mike

I started my plumbing career in 1996 as an apprentice in Scarborough, learning the trade from my father who was also a master plumber. After earning my journeyman certification from George Brown College and working for several GTA plumbing companies, I obtained my Master Plumber license in 2005.

In 2010, I became one of the first plumbers in Ontario to specialize in trenchless pipe repair technology, allowing homeowners to fix broken sewer lines without destroying their landscaping. This no-dig approach has saved my customers thousands of dollars in restoration costs.

Today, I lead Water Pro's technical training program and personally handle our most complex drain repair cases. When I'm not underground fixing pipes, I write practical guides to help homeowners understand their plumbing systems and make informed decisions.
