Your bathroom works the way you need it to. Water pressure is consistent. Drains don’t back up after the first month. Fixtures are positioned where they make sense for your routine, not just where the old pipes happened to be.
You’re not dealing with callbacks or mystery leaks behind the walls. Everything is permitted, inspected, and built to handle Florida’s humidity without turning into a mold farm. That’s what happens when the plumbing gets handled by someone who knows what they’re doing.
If your home was built in the 60s, 70s, or 80s—and most in Brevard County were—your bathroom wasn’t designed for how people live now. Cramped layouts. Outdated fixtures. Plumbing that’s been patched too many times. A real remodel fixes that, but only if the plumbing work is done correctly from the start.
Drain Wizard is a family-owned, state-certified plumbing contractor serving Grant-Valkaria and the Space Coast for nearly two decades. We’re not a franchise. We’re not a call center. We’re a small crew with over 40 years of plumbing experience and more than 20 years of military service between us.
That means we show up on time, we do what we say we’re going to do, and we don’t leave until it’s right. We’ve worked in hundreds of homes across Brevard County—many of them built in the same era as yours—so we know what we’re walking into before we even open the wall.
You’re not getting a salesperson. You’re getting someone who’s actually going to do the work, pull the permits, and make sure it passes inspection the first time.
First, we walk through your bathroom and talk about what you want to change. If you’re moving a shower, adding a soaking tub, or installing a double vanity, we map out where the plumbing needs to go. We also check what’s behind the walls—because in older homes, you don’t always know until you look.
Next, we pull permits if the scope requires it. In Florida, any work that involves moving water or drain lines typically needs a permit, especially in coastal areas like Grant-Valkaria. We handle that so you don’t have to.
Then we do the rough-in work—rerouting supply lines, installing new drains, upgrading vents, and making sure everything is waterproofed correctly. This is the part most people don’t see, but it’s the part that matters most. After that, we install your fixtures, test everything, and walk you through how it all works. No surprises. No shortcuts.

Bathroom remodeling plumbing covers everything from moving pipes to installing new fixtures. That includes shower and tub replacement, vanity plumbing, toilet relocation, pipe rerouting services, and making sure your drains and vents are up to code.
In Grant-Valkaria and across Brevard County, homes built decades ago weren’t designed for walk-in showers, dual-head systems, or modern water efficiency standards. Updating your bathroom means updating the plumbing to support it. That’s not optional—it’s structural.
We also handle the stuff that prevents problems later: proper waterproofing, mold-resistant installation methods, and ventilation that actually works in Florida’s humid climate. A lot of bathroom remodels look great for six months, then start leaking or growing mold. That’s usually because the plumbing wasn’t done right. We make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
It depends on what you’re changing. If you’re just swapping out a vanity or toilet and the plumbing stays in the same spot, you’re looking at basic fixture installation costs. If you’re moving a shower, adding a tub, or reconfiguring the layout, the cost goes up because we’re rerouting pipes, adding drains, and doing structural work.
For a full bathroom renovation with plumbing in Brevard County, most homeowners spend between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on the size of the space and the quality of the fixtures. That includes rough-in plumbing, fixture installation, permits, and making sure everything is code-compliant.
We don’t give estimates over the phone because every bathroom is different. But we’ll walk through your space, tell you exactly what needs to happen, and give you a number you can actually use to make a decision.
Yes, in most cases. If you’re moving water lines, installing new drains, or changing the layout of your bathroom, Florida building codes require a permit. That’s especially true in Brevard County, where coastal regulations are stricter because of humidity, flooding risk, and structural concerns.
A permit isn’t just paperwork—it’s proof that the work was done correctly and inspected by someone who knows the code. If you ever sell your home, unpermitted plumbing work can kill a deal or force you to redo everything at your own expense.
We handle the permit process as part of the job. You don’t have to call the county, wait in line, or figure out what forms to fill out. We pull it, schedule the inspections, and make sure everything passes. That’s part of doing it right.
For most bathrooms, the plumbing portion takes about one to two weeks depending on the scope. If we’re just installing new fixtures in the same locations, it’s faster. If we’re moving pipes, adding a shower, or reconfiguring the layout, it takes longer because we’re opening walls, rerouting lines, and coordinating inspections.
The timeline also depends on whether you’re doing a full remodel or just updating the plumbing. If other trades are involved—tile, electrical, drywall—we coordinate with them so the job flows smoothly and you’re not waiting around for someone to show up.
We don’t drag jobs out, but we also don’t rush through the rough-in work just to say we’re done. The plumbing has to be right, or everything else you’re paying for is sitting on top of a future problem.
Yes, and we do it all the time in Grant-Valkaria and Brevard County. Most homes built in the 60s, 70s, and 80s have small bathrooms with tub-shower combos. Converting that to a walk-in shower—especially a curbless one—requires rerouting the drain, adjusting the slope, and sometimes reinforcing the floor.
The plumbing is the tricky part. A curbless shower needs a linear drain and proper waterproofing, or you’ll end up with water in places you don’t want it. In Florida’s climate, that turns into mold and rot fast. We make sure the rough-in is done right so the tile guy has a solid base to work with.
We also install grab bars, bench seating, and dual showerheads if that’s part of your plan. A lot of homeowners are thinking about aging in place, and a walk-in shower is one of the smartest upgrades you can make for safety and resale value.
We tell you about it before we go any further. Older homes in Brevard County often have issues you can’t see until the wall is open—corroded pipes, improper venting, old galvanized lines that need replacing. If we find something that needs to be fixed, we explain what it is, why it matters, and what it’ll cost to handle it.
You’re not locked into anything. We give you the options and let you decide. But we’re not going to close up a wall knowing there’s a problem behind it, because that’s how you end up with a leak three months later and a much bigger bill.
Most of the time, these issues aren’t surprises if you know what to look for. That’s why we do a walkthrough before we start and give you a realistic picture of what we might run into. No one likes mid-project changes, but transparency beats a callback any day.
Because most people don’t realize how much work happens behind the walls. You’re not just paying for a new faucet or showerhead—you’re paying for the rough-in plumbing, the permits, the inspections, the waterproofing, and the labor to do it correctly in a humid coastal environment.
In Florida, cutting corners on plumbing leads to mold, leaks, and structural damage that costs way more to fix than it would have cost to do right the first time. A proper bathroom renovation involves rerouting supply lines, installing new drains, upgrading vents, and making sure everything meets current code. That’s skilled work, and it takes time.
You’re also paying for someone who’s licensed, insured, and accountable. If something goes wrong, we fix it. If you hire someone cheap and unlicensed, you’re on your own—and you might be paying twice when it fails. We’d rather be honest about the cost upfront than leave you with a problem later.
