You’re not just swapping out a faucet or dropping in a new tub. You’re rerouting pipes, upgrading fixtures that need to handle Florida’s hard water, and making sure everything drains properly in a home that deals with humidity year-round.
That’s where most bathroom renovations fall apart. A general contractor brings in a subcontractor who doesn’t know your plumbing system, doesn’t account for corrosion from salt air, and leaves you with a beautiful vanity that leaks three months later.
We handle the entire plumbing scope of your bathroom remodel. Shower and tub replacement, vanity plumbing, fixture installation, pipe rerouting—all of it. You get one team that knows how coastal homes are built, what fails first, and how to install it so it lasts. No patchwork. No surprises when you turn the water on.
Drain Wizard is a Florida-licensed, bonded, and insured plumbing company serving Micco and the surrounding Brevard County area. We’ve been working in homes along the coast long enough to know what breaks, what corrodes, and what holds up when you’re this close to the ocean.
Hard water eats through fixtures. Salt air corrodes metal faster than you’d expect. Humidity creates mold if your exhaust and drainage aren’t set up right. We see it every day, and we plan for it on every job.
When you’re investing in a bathroom remodel, you want someone who’s done it in your neighborhood—not just someone who watched a YouTube video. We pull permits, follow Florida code, and back our work with real warranties.
First, we walk through your bathroom and talk about what you’re changing. New shower? Different vanity layout? Relocating the toilet? We map out what needs to be moved, rerouted, or replaced in your plumbing system before anything gets torn out.
Then we handle the rough-in work—rerouting pipes, updating supply lines, making sure your drain slopes are right and your venting is up to code. This is the part most people don’t see, but it’s the part that matters most. If the bones aren’t right, nothing else will be.
Once the walls are closed and your tile or fixtures are ready to go in, we come back for the finish work. Install your new tub, mount your vanity, connect your shower valve, hook up your toilet. We test everything, check for leaks, and make sure water pressure is balanced before we call it done. You’re not waiting weeks between rough-in and finish—we coordinate with your timeline so the job keeps moving.

Bathroom remodeling plumbing in Micco means planning for conditions most plumbers in other states never deal with. You need materials that won’t corrode in six months. You need proper venting so humidity doesn’t rot your walls. You need water-efficient fixtures that still give you pressure, because utility costs here aren’t getting cheaper.
We install low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and tankless water heaters that give you endless hot water without the energy waste. We use corrosion-resistant materials rated for coastal environments—not the cheapest option at the supply house, but the one that’ll still work in five years.
If you’re aging in place, we can install grab bars, barrier-free showers, and comfort-height toilets without making your bathroom look institutional. If you’re selling soon, we focus on the updates that actually add value—new fixtures, modern vanity plumbing, clean lines that buyers notice.
And if your layout isn’t working, we reroute. Move the shower to the other wall. Shift the vanity. Add a second sink. We’ve done it enough times to know what’s possible in a Micco home without tearing down load-bearing walls or spending a fortune you won’t get back.
It depends on what you’re changing. If you’re keeping the same layout and just swapping fixtures—new toilet, vanity, and shower—plumbing work usually takes two to three days. That includes rough-in, pressure testing, and finish installation.
If you’re moving walls, relocating drains, or adding features like a soaking tub or second vanity, expect closer to a week. Pipe rerouting takes time to do right, especially in older homes where we’re working around existing structure and making sure everything meets current Florida code.
We don’t rush it. A bathroom remodel is expensive, and the plumbing is the one thing that can ruin the whole project if it’s done wrong. You want it tested, sealed, and installed so you’re not dealing with leaks or callbacks six months later.
Anything rated for corrosion resistance. That means stainless steel, brass, or marine-grade materials—not builder-grade chrome that’ll pit and flake once salt air gets to it. We see cheap fixtures fail all the time in Micco, and it’s not because they were installed wrong. They just weren’t made for this environment.
For faucets and showerheads, look for solid brass bodies with ceramic disc valves. For drains and traps, PVC or ABS holds up better than metal in coastal homes. For exposed hardware like towel bars or grab bars, go stainless. It costs a little more upfront, but you’re not replacing it in three years.
Hard water is the other issue. If you’re installing new fixtures, consider a water softener or at least a filter on your shower line. It’ll protect your investment and keep buildup from clogging aerators and showerheads. We can recommend what makes sense for your home and budget.
Yes, if you’re doing anything beyond basic fixture replacement. Moving pipes, adding new drains, rerouting water lines, or changing your bathroom layout all require a permit through Brevard County. It’s not optional, and it’s not something you want to skip.
Permits make sure the work is inspected and meets Florida plumbing code. That protects you if something goes wrong, and it protects your home’s value if you ever sell. Buyers and inspectors will ask, and unpermitted work can kill a sale or force you to rip things out and redo them.
We pull permits for all our bathroom remodeling plumbing jobs in Micco. We schedule inspections, handle the paperwork, and make sure everything passes the first time. You don’t have to deal with the county—we do.
Absolutely. Walk-in showers are one of the most common requests we get, especially from homeowners who want to age in place or just don’t want to step over a tub curb anymore. The plumbing side is straightforward—we reroute your drain if needed, install a linear drain or center drain depending on your tile layout, and set up your valve and showerhead.
The key is making sure your slope is right. Florida code requires a certain pitch so water drains properly and doesn’t pool. If your subfloor isn’t level or your joists need reinforcement, we’ll catch that during the rough-in phase and fix it before tile goes down.
We also install grab bars, bench seating, and handheld showerheads if you want them. A walk-in shower doesn’t have to look like a hospital bathroom—it can be sleek, modern, and still functional for the long term. We’ll walk you through options that fit your space and budget.
A general contractor coordinates the whole project—demo, tile, paint, fixtures, everything. They usually subcontract the plumbing work to someone else. That’s fine if the GC has a solid plumber they trust, but it adds a layer of communication and potential delays.
When you hire a licensed plumbing contractor like us for the plumbing scope, you’re working directly with the people doing the work. No middleman. No waiting for a subcontractor to fit you into their schedule. We show up when we say we will, and if something needs to change mid-project, you’re talking to the person who can actually make that call.
If you’re doing a full remodel with multiple trades, a GC makes sense. But if your main concern is the plumbing—fixture installation, pipe rerouting, making sure your shower doesn’t leak—you’re better off with a plumber who specializes in bathroom renovations. We do this every day, and we know what works in Micco homes.
For a basic fixture swap—toilet, vanity, and shower—plumbing costs typically run between $1,500 and $3,000 depending on the quality of fixtures and how much of the existing plumbing we can reuse. If you’re keeping the same layout and nothing’s corroded or out of code, it’s pretty straightforward.
If you’re changing the layout, moving drains, adding a second sink, or installing a walk-in shower with a linear drain, expect $4,000 to $7,000 or more. Pipe rerouting, concrete work, and bringing older plumbing up to current code all add to the scope. Every home is different, so we give you a detailed estimate after we see the space.
What matters more than the number is whether the work is done right. Cheap plumbing fails. Leaks, low pressure, mold behind the walls—it all costs more to fix later than it does to install correctly the first time. We price our work fairly, and we back it with a warranty because we’re not coming back to patch leaks.
