Your water pressure stays consistent. Your fixtures don’t leak onto the floor or into the walls. Your shower temperature doesn’t swing from scalding to freezing when someone flushes the toilet.
That’s what proper bathroom remodeling plumbing looks like. Not just new tile and paint, but a system that functions the way it should from the pipes behind the walls to the faucet in your hand.
Most bathroom renovations in Canova Beach focus on aesthetics. That’s fine until you realize the vanity plumbing wasn’t sized right, the shower drain backs up, or the pipes start sweating because nobody accounted for Florida humidity. You’re left with a nice-looking bathroom that doesn’t work, and now you’re calling someone else to fix what should’ve been done correctly the first time.
We handle the full scope: shower and tub replacement with proper drain slope and venting, fixture installation that meets Florida code, pipe rerouting services when your layout changes, and upgrades to water-saving fixtures that actually lower your utility bills. If your home was built before 1975 and still has cast iron drains, we replace those too before they collapse inside your walls.
Drain Wizard is a family-owned plumbing company based in Cocoa, serving Canova Beach and the rest of Brevard County for over 17 years. We’re state-certified, licensed, insured, and built on 40+ years of combined plumbing experience and 20 years of military service.
That military background shows up in how we work: on time, transparent pricing, no surprises. We’re not a national franchise that sends whoever’s available. You get plumbers who know Brevard County’s housing stock, soil conditions, and the plumbing problems that show up in homes near the coast.
Canova Beach has a mix of older homes and newer construction. The older ones often have cast iron pipes that are corroding from the inside out. The newer ones sometimes have shortcuts that looked fine during inspection but cause problems five years later. We’ve seen both, and we know how to fix both.
We start with a walkthrough of your current bathroom. You tell us what’s not working, what you want to change, and what your budget looks like. We look at your existing plumbing, check the condition of your drain lines, and figure out what needs to be replaced versus what can stay.
Then we give you a written estimate that breaks down the work: fixture removal, any pipe rerouting services needed for your new layout, installation of your new tub or shower, vanity plumbing, toilet, and any other fixtures. If we find cast iron pipes or outdated galvanized lines, we’ll tell you up front and explain why replacement makes sense now instead of later.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work. We shut off water to the bathroom, remove old fixtures, and handle any demolition needed to access the plumbing. Then we install new supply lines, drain lines, and venting according to Florida code. After rough plumbing passes inspection, we install your new fixtures, test everything for leaks and proper drainage, and clean up.
You’re left with a bathroom that works the way it should. No leaks, no weird noises, no surprises six months later.
Ready to get started?
We handle every piece of plumbing in your bathroom renovation. That includes removing your old tub or shower and installing the new one with proper waterproofing and drain connections. We install your vanity, connect the faucet and drain, and make sure the shut-off valves are accessible and code-compliant.
If you’re upgrading to a dual-flush toilet or a WaterSense-certified model, we install that and check for proper sealing and flush performance. If your layout is changing, we reroute supply lines and drain lines to match your new floor plan, which often means opening walls and running new pipe through your home’s framing.
For homes in Canova Beach with older plumbing, we also replace cast iron drain lines that are prone to corrosion and blockages. Florida’s soil and humidity accelerate that corrosion, and once those pipes start failing, you’re looking at water damage, mold, and expensive repairs. Replacing them during a remodel makes sense because the walls are already open.
We also upgrade fixtures to water-saving models that meet Florida’s efficiency standards. That means low-flow showerheads, faucet aerators, and toilets that use less water per flush. You’ll see the difference on your water bill, and you’re doing your part to conserve water in a state where that actually matters.
Most bathroom plumbing remodels take between three and seven days, depending on the scope of work. If we’re just swapping fixtures and your layout isn’t changing, that’s closer to three days. If we’re rerouting pipes, replacing cast iron drains, or dealing with unexpected issues like rotted framing or outdated venting, it takes longer.
The timeline also depends on inspections. Any time we open walls and install new plumbing, Florida code requires an inspection before we close things back up. We schedule that as soon as rough plumbing is done, but inspector availability can add a day or two.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate. If something comes up during the job that changes the schedule, we tell you right away. No one likes surprises, especially when your bathroom’s out of commission.
Not always, but it depends on what’s behind your walls. If your home was built before 1975 and still has cast iron drains or galvanized supply lines, replacement isn’t just a good idea, it’s necessary. Cast iron corrodes from the inside out, and galvanized pipes build up mineral deposits that restrict water flow. Both will fail eventually, and it’s better to deal with that during a remodel than after your new bathroom is finished.
If your pipes are copper or PEX and in good shape, we can usually leave them alone. But if we see corrosion, leaks, or poor installation during the remodel, we’ll point it out and explain your options.
The goal is to avoid spending money on a beautiful new bathroom only to have a pipe burst six months later because the plumbing underneath wasn’t addressed. We’d rather have that conversation up front.
We start by removing your old tub or shower, which usually means cutting it out if it’s a one-piece fiberglass unit or demoing tile and the underlying backer board if it’s a custom shower. Once that’s out, we inspect the drain line and the framing around the area to make sure everything’s solid and up to code.
Then we install the new tub or shower base, connect it to the drain with a proper trap and venting, and test it for leaks before anything gets covered up. If you’re installing a tile shower, we make sure the pan is sloped correctly so water drains without pooling. If it’s a prefab unit, we level it, secure it, and seal all the seams.
After that, we install your shower valve, connect the supply lines, and mount your showerhead and any other fixtures like body sprays or handheld wands. We test everything to make sure water pressure is consistent, temperature control works, and there are no leaks anywhere in the system.
Yes, and they work better than most people expect. The old low-flow fixtures from the ’90s gave water-saving technology a bad reputation because they had weak pressure and didn’t rinse properly. Modern WaterSense-certified fixtures are completely different. They use air injection and better engineering to maintain strong pressure while using less water.
For example, a WaterSense showerhead uses no more than 2.0 gallons per minute compared to older models that use 2.5 or more, but you won’t notice a difference in how the shower feels. Same with faucets and toilets. Dual-flush toilets give you control over how much water each flush uses, and they clear the bowl just as effectively as older models that used twice the water.
The savings add up fast. If you’re replacing old or leaking fixtures, you could see a noticeable drop in your water bill within the first few months. And in Florida, where water conservation matters, it’s worth doing.
We stop, show you what we found, and explain what it means. If we open a wall and find a leaking pipe, corroded drain line, or framing damage from a previous leak, you need to know about it before we go any further.
We’ll explain what needs to be fixed, why it matters, and what it costs to address it. Then you decide how to move forward. Some issues can wait, but most can’t, especially if they involve leaks or code violations that won’t pass inspection.
The goal is transparency. No one wants to hear that their remodel just got more expensive, but it’s worse to ignore a problem and deal with water damage or a failed inspection later. We’d rather have an honest conversation up front so you can make an informed decision.
Yes. Any time we’re doing work that involves opening walls, rerouting pipes, or installing new fixtures that require code compliance, we pull the necessary permits and schedule inspections. That’s part of being a licensed, state-certified plumbing contractor in Florida.
Permits aren’t just red tape. They ensure the work is done to code, which protects you if you ever sell your home or file an insurance claim. Inspections catch problems before they’re covered up, which is a lot cheaper than tearing into finished walls later.
We handle all of that. You don’t need to call the county or figure out what permits are required. We take care of it, and we make sure the work passes inspection the first time.
