Your kitchen sink drains in seconds instead of pooling up while you’re doing dishes. Your shower doesn’t turn into a bathtub halfway through. And when you run the washing machine, water doesn’t back up into the utility sink or start bubbling up through the floor drain.
That’s what properly cleaned drains do. Not drains that got a quick snake job that only punched a hole through the clog. We’re talking about drains that were cleaned end to end, so there’s nothing left behind to catch hair, grease, or soap scum next week.
Most companies clear just enough to get water moving again. That’s why your drain clogs up again in two weeks. We clean the entire pipe—from your fixture all the way to the main line—so buildup doesn’t have anywhere to grab onto. It’s the difference between a temporary fix and actually solving the problem.
Drain Wizard is a family-owned plumbing company based right here in Brevard County. We’ve been serving Footman and the surrounding Space Coast area for over 15 years, and before that, our team brought more than 40 years of combined plumbing experience and 20 years of military service to the table.
That military background shows up in how we work: on time, no runaround, and the job gets done right the first time. We’re not a national franchise with rotating techs who don’t know the area. We’re locals who understand that most homes in Footman built before 1975 are sitting on aging cast iron pipes that corrode faster in Florida’s humid, salt-heavy climate.
We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve earned an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. But what matters more is that we show up when we say we will, we explain what’s wrong before we start, and we don’t charge you for work you don’t need.
First, we figure out what’s actually causing the clog. Sometimes it’s obvious—hair in a bathroom sink, grease in a kitchen line. Other times, we’ll use a camera to look inside the pipe and see if there’s a root intrusion, a collapsed section, or heavy mineral buildup that snaking won’t fix.
Once we know what we’re dealing with, we choose the right tool. For most clogs, we’ll use a professional rooter to break through the blockage and then clean the pipe walls so nothing’s left behind. If the buildup is severe—especially in older cast iron pipes—we’ll recommend hydro jetting, which uses high-pressure water to scour the pipe clean from end to end.
After the line is clear, we test it to make sure water flows freely. If we used a camera, we’ll show you the before and after so there’s no guessing. And if we found a bigger issue—like a cracked pipe or root damage—we’ll walk you through your options with upfront pricing before any additional work happens. No surprises, no pressure.

Every drain cleaning service includes a full assessment of the problem, not just a quick fix. We’ll locate the clog, clear it completely, and make sure the water flows the way it should. If the clog is stubborn or keeps coming back, we’ll use a camera to inspect the line and find out why.
In Footman, the most common culprits are hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, grease and food scraps in kitchen lines, and sand or debris in outdoor drains—especially after heavy rains. But older homes face a bigger issue: cast iron pipes that have corroded from the inside out. Florida’s moisture and salt content accelerate that corrosion, and by the time a pipe is 25 or 30 years old, it’s often lined with rust and calcification that catches everything flowing through.
That’s why we don’t just clear the clog and leave. We clean the pipe itself so buildup doesn’t reform in a week. And if your pipes are too far gone, we’ll tell you. We’re not going to charge you for drain cleaning every month when what you really need is a pipe replacement. That’s not how we do business.
Most drain cleaning jobs in Footman run between $160 and $450, depending on the severity of the clog and what’s required to clear it. A simple bathroom sink clog with hair buildup is on the lower end. A main sewer line clog that needs hydro jetting or camera inspection is on the higher end.
We give you a quote upfront before we start any work. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after the fact. If we find something during the job that changes the scope—like a collapsed pipe or root intrusion—we’ll stop, explain what we found, and give you a price for the additional work before proceeding. You’re never locked into something you didn’t agree to.
And if you’re a senior, we offer a 5% discount. We also have financing options available if the repair is more than you were planning to spend right now.
Because most companies only clear enough of the clog to get water moving again. They snake through the blockage, punch a hole, and call it done. Water drains, so it looks fixed. But the buildup is still coating the pipe walls, and within a few weeks, it catches more debris and clogs up again.
We clean the entire pipe—not just the clog itself. That means scraping the walls, removing the buildup, and leaving a smooth surface that water and waste can flow through freely. It’s the difference between a temporary fix and a lasting solution.
If your drain keeps clogging even after a full cleaning, there’s usually a bigger issue. It could be a bellied pipe that’s sagging and collecting debris. It could be tree roots growing into the line. Or it could be an old cast iron pipe that’s corroded so badly that the rough interior is catching everything. In those cases, cleaning helps, but replacing the damaged section is the only permanent fix.
Snaking uses a cable with a blade or auger on the end to break through a clog. It’s effective for most blockages—hair, grease, small root intrusions—and it’s usually the first method we try. It’s fast, affordable, and works well when the clog is localized and the pipe itself is in decent shape.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water—sometimes up to 4,000 PSI—to blast through clogs and scour the pipe walls clean. It removes everything: grease, mineral buildup, roots, sludge, even years of accumulated gunk. It’s more thorough than snaking, but it’s also more expensive and not always necessary.
We recommend hydro jetting when snaking doesn’t fully solve the problem, when you’re dealing with recurring clogs, or when the pipe has heavy buildup that’s restricting flow. It’s also a good option before a camera inspection if we need a clear view of the pipe’s condition. We’ll never upsell you on hydro jetting if a standard rooter service will do the job.
Yes, in most cases. We understand that a clogged drain isn’t something you can just live with for a few days. It disrupts your routine, and if it’s a main line clog, it can back up into your home and cause real damage.
We prioritize same-day service whenever possible, especially for urgent situations like a backed-up toilet, a kitchen sink that won’t drain, or a sewer line that’s overflowing. When you call, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe based on our schedule that day and get someone out to you as quickly as we can.
If it’s not an emergency and you’d prefer to schedule for a specific day or time that works better for you, we can do that too. But if you need help now, we’ll do everything we can to get there today.
If your home in Footman was built before 1975, there’s a good chance it has cast iron drain pipes. Those pipes were built to last 50 to 75 years under normal conditions, but Florida’s climate shortens that lifespan significantly. High humidity, salty air, and moisture-rich soil accelerate corrosion from both the inside and outside of the pipe.
Signs that your cast iron pipes are failing include frequent clogs that keep coming back, slow drainage throughout the house, rust-colored water in your drains, foul odors coming from your pipes, and visible rust or moisture around exposed pipes in your crawl space or basement. If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s worth having a camera inspection done to see what’s happening inside the pipe.
Once cast iron starts to corrode, it only gets worse. The rough, pitted interior catches debris and causes clogs. Eventually, the pipe can crack, collapse, or develop pinholes that leak wastewater into your walls or foundation. Replacing the damaged sections before that happens saves you from dealing with water damage, mold, and a much more expensive repair down the road.
Yes. If we clean your drain and it clogs again within a reasonable timeframe due to the same issue, we’ll come back and make it right. That doesn’t apply if you’re flushing things you shouldn’t or if tree roots grow back into a line we cleared—but if the clog returns because we didn’t clean it properly the first time, we’ll fix it at no additional charge.
We also warranty any parts we install and any repair work we perform. The specifics depend on the job, and we’ll go over that with you before we start. But the general rule is this: if something fails because of our work, we’ll come back and correct it. If it fails because the pipe itself is deteriorating or because of an external factor we warned you about, that’s a separate issue.
We’ve been doing this since 2007, and our reputation in Brevard County matters more to us than squeezing an extra service call out of someone. If we didn’t do the job right, we’ll own it and fix it. That’s how we’ve stayed in business this long.
