You stop dealing with slow drains that never quite clear. No more sewage smells creeping into your home. No more wondering when the next backup is going to flood your bathroom or ruin your foundation.
When we replace your cast iron sewer pipe, you’re getting a complete system upgrade designed for Florida’s salt-rich soil and humid climate. PVC for drain lines. PEX or copper for supply lines. Everything up to code, built to last, and installed by plumbers who’ve been doing this work in Brevard County since 2007.
Most jobs wrap up in a few days. You’ll see exactly what we found with camera footage from inside your pipes. You’ll know what failed, why it failed, and what we’re doing to make sure it doesn’t happen again. No surprises, no upselling, no coming back to you halfway through asking for more money.
Drain Wizard is a family-owned plumbing company based in Cocoa, serving Sharpes and the entire Space Coast. Carl, the owner, started learning this trade at 16 in New Jersey—working on cast iron and sewer drain line replacements before most people even knew what trenchless repair meant.
He brought that experience to Florida in 2007, along with 20 years of military service that taught him what real accountability looks like. We’re not a franchise. We’re your neighbors. We’re the ones who show up when your pipes fail at 9 p.m. on a Saturday.
We’re licensed (State Cert. Master Plumber CFC#1428379), insured, and we’ve handled hundreds of residential sewer line replacement jobs across Brevard County. Most of our work comes from referrals—people who had a good experience and told their friends.
We start with a camera inspection. You’re not paying for guesswork—you’re seeing the actual condition of your pipes on a screen. We’ll show you the cracks, the corrosion, the root intrusion, whatever’s causing the problem.
Then we walk you through your options. Sometimes trenchless sewer repair makes sense if only a section has failed. Other times, especially with older homes in Sharpes built before 1975, a full cast iron pipe replacement is the only real fix. We’ll explain what each option costs, how long it takes, and what you’re getting.
Once you approve the work, we handle permits and inspections. We dig where we need to dig, replace what needs replacing, and install a system that meets current Florida building codes. Most residential projects finish within a few days, depending on the size of your home and how much pipe we’re replacing.
When we’re done, your home is clean. Your plumbing works. And you’ve got a warranty backing the work we just did.
Ready to get started?
If your home was built before 1975, there’s a good chance you still have the original cast iron pipes running under your foundation. Nearly 40% of Florida homes do. And most of them are failing faster than they should.
It’s not just age. Florida’s salt-rich soil and high humidity create the perfect conditions for corrosion. Hydrogen sulfide gas from waste turns into sulfuric acid inside the pipe, eating away at the metal until it cracks, leaks, or collapses. Add tree roots pushing through weak spots, and you’ve got a system that’s one bad day away from a catastrophic failure.
You’ll notice the signs before it gets that bad. Slow drains. Low water pressure. Rust stains. Foul odors. Sewage backups. By the time you’re seeing those symptoms, the damage is already extensive. Pipe descaling might buy you a little time, but it’s not a permanent fix.
What you need is a full replacement—modern materials that don’t corrode, don’t crack, and can handle the conditions in Brevard County for the next 50 years. That’s what we install.
It depends on how much pipe needs replacing and how accessible it is. A partial replacement might run a few thousand dollars. A full residential sewer line replacement for a typical home can range from $8,000 to $15,000 or more if there’s extensive foundation work involved.
We don’t give ballpark estimates over the phone because every home is different. What we do is come out, run a camera through your pipes, and show you exactly what’s failing. Then we give you a written quote that covers everything—labor, materials, permits, inspections, cleanup.
No hidden fees. No surprise charges halfway through the job. You’ll know what it costs before we start digging.
Most residential jobs take two to four days, depending on the size of your home and how much pipe we’re replacing. If we’re doing a full replacement that involves digging under your foundation or rerouting lines, it might take a bit longer.
We work efficiently, but we don’t cut corners. You’ll have access to water and working plumbing throughout most of the process. We coordinate our work to minimize disruption—especially if you’ve got kids, pets, or a home-based business.
When we’re done, we clean up. You won’t have piles of dirt sitting in your yard for weeks. We haul it away, restore your landscaping as much as possible, and leave your property in good shape.
We offer both options, and which one makes sense depends on the condition of your pipes. Trenchless sewer repair works well if you’ve got a localized problem—a single section that’s cracked or blocked. We can line or burst that section without tearing up your entire yard.
But if your cast iron is corroding throughout the system, trenchless isn’t going to solve the problem. You’re just patching one spot while the rest of the pipe continues to deteriorate. In those cases, a full replacement is the smarter investment.
We’ll show you the camera footage and explain what we’re seeing. If trenchless makes sense, we’ll recommend it. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you why and what the better option is. We’re not here to upsell you—we’re here to fix the problem the right way.
Slow drains are usually the first thing people notice. Water takes forever to go down, even after you’ve tried drain cleaner or had someone snake the line. That’s often a sign of corrosion buildup or root intrusion inside the pipe.
Foul odors are another red flag—especially if they’re coming from drains or your yard. That’s sewage leaking out of cracks in the pipe. Rust-colored water, low water pressure, and frequent backups are all symptoms of a failing system.
By the time you’re seeing these signs, the damage is already happening. Cast iron corrodes from the inside out, so you won’t see the rust until it’s eaten through enough of the pipe to cause problems. If your home was built before 1975 and you’re dealing with any of these issues, it’s worth getting a camera inspection to see what’s actually going on.
Yes. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and make sure everything is up to Florida building code. You don’t have to deal with the county or figure out what paperwork needs to be filed.
This is especially important in Brevard County, where code requirements can be strict and inspectors know what to look for. If the work isn’t done right, it won’t pass inspection—and that becomes your problem if you hired someone who cut corners.
We’ve been doing this since 2007. We know what inspectors expect, and we build to those standards from the start. When the inspector shows up, the work passes. You get your final approval, and you’ve got documentation that the job was done legally and correctly.
Because we’ve been doing this work in Brevard County for nearly 20 years, and we’re still here because we do it right. We’re not a national franchise that sends out whoever’s available. We’re a family-owned business with deep roots in this community.
Carl, the owner, has over 40 years of combined plumbing experience and 20 years of military service. That background shows up in how we run jobs—honest communication, hard work, and a commitment to quality that doesn’t bend when things get difficult.
We’re licensed, insured, and we offer warranties on our work. We show you what’s wrong with camera footage before we start. We give you transparent pricing with no hidden fees. And when we’re done, your plumbing works the way it’s supposed to. If that’s what you’re looking for, we’re the right call.
