  Dave (Homewise owner) responded to my email service request quickly and also discussed my situation with me in the phone in a very helpful way. He dispatched Riley, who repaired the leaking water dispenser line on our fridge. He did it professionally and efficiently and was friendly and explained  the problem and the solution very clearly.

  I recently had the pleasure of working with HomeWise Plumbing & Drainage in Victoria, and I couldn't be more impressed with their service. From the moment I contacted them, Tianna, the front end staff, was incredibly kind, efficient, and professional, making the scheduling process smooth and hassle-free.

David, the lovely owner, exemplified incredible customer service, ensuring all my concerns were addressed.

Riley, the technician who handled the issue, was outstanding. His expertise and attention to detail were evident from the start. He arrived promptly, assessed the situation thoroughly, and explained the necessary repairs clearly. The quality of his work was top-notch, and he ensured everything was in perfect working order before leaving.

The entire experience with HomeWise Plumbing & Drainage was exceptional. Their team's professionalism, combined with their friendly and accommodating approach, made a potentially stressful situation entirely manageable. I highly recommend HomeWise Plumbing & Drainage for anyone in need of reliable and high-quality plumbing services. Thank you, Tianna, Riley, David, and the entire team for your outstanding service

  Our hot water tank was up to replacement. When I called HomeWise, Tianna was very helpful and friendly to get me an estimate and to set up a working schedule right way. On the scheduled date, Riley came to the house on time as expected. He was very professional, friendly and worked efficiently. In addition, he went the extra mile to make sure the water pressure inside of the house was at the right level. This would help to reduce potential leaking problems in the future. It has been a very positive experience for us with HomeWise, and it is for sure I would recommend them to others.
