The water drains fast again. No more standing in shower water or waiting for the kitchen sink to empty. No more foul smells creeping up from the pipes or worrying about what’s building up down there.
When we clear a drain, we’re not just poking a hole through the clog. We’re removing the grease, the scale, the hair, and the years of buildup that caused the problem in the first place. That’s what hydrojetting does that a snake can’t.
You also get clarity. If there’s root intrusion or pipe damage, we’ll show you with a camera inspection. No surprises later. No selling you things you don’t need. Just honest information so you can make the right call for your home.
Most of our customers in Malabar schedule maintenance after the first service because they realize how much easier it is to prevent a backup than deal with one at 9 PM on a Saturday.
Drain Wizard is a family-owned company based in Cocoa, serving Malabar and the rest of Brevard County for nearly two decades. We’re not a franchise. We’re not a call center dispatching the cheapest available tech. We’re plumbers with over 40 years of combined experience and 20 years of military service between us.
That military background shows up in how we work. We’re on time. We do what we say. We don’t leave a mess. And we don’t overcomplicate things to justify a bigger bill.
Malabar’s older homes and Florida’s hard water mean we see a lot of recurring clogs that other companies just band-aid. We’ve built our reputation here by actually solving those problems, not just resetting the clock on them.
First, we figure out what’s actually going on. That might mean running a camera down the line or asking a few questions about when the problem started and what you’ve tried. We’re not guessing.
Then we clear it. For most clogs, hydrojetting is the best option because it scours the pipe clean instead of just punching through. If it’s a simpler blockage, we’ll use a snake. We pick the right tool for the job, not the most expensive one.
After the line is clear, we test it. We run water, check the flow, and make sure everything’s draining the way it should. If we found damage or root intrusion, we’ll walk you through what that means and what your options are. No pressure. No upselling. Just information.
The whole process usually takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours depending on severity. You’ll know upfront what it’s going to cost, and we’ll stick to that number unless we find something unexpected—and even then, we’ll talk to you before doing anything extra.

Every service includes a full assessment of the problem, the cleaning itself, and a flow test to confirm everything’s working. If we use hydrojetting, that means high-pressure water that removes grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and even small root intrusions. It’s the most thorough way to clean a drain line.
We also offer camera inspections as part of the service when needed. That’s a small waterproof camera that goes into the pipe and shows us exactly what’s happening inside. It’s especially useful in Malabar because older sewer lines and Florida’s aggressive tree roots can cause issues that aren’t obvious from the surface.
If you’re dealing with hard water buildup—and most homes here are—we’ll talk to you about what we’re seeing and whether a maintenance plan makes sense. Brevard County’s water is extremely hard, which means calcium and magnesium are constantly forming scale inside your pipes. Regular cleaning can prevent that from becoming a major issue down the road.
We’re licensed, insured, and local. That means if something goes wrong, we’re accountable. And if you need us again, we’re 10 minutes away, not three counties over.
Most drain cleaning jobs in Malabar run between $110 and $300, depending on the severity of the clog and the method used. A simple kitchen sink clog that we can clear with a snake will be on the lower end. A main sewer line blockage that requires hydrojetting and a camera inspection will cost more.
We give you an upfront price before we start. No hourly rates that climb while we work. No surprise fees tacked on at the end. If we find something unexpected—like roots growing into the line or a collapsed pipe—we’ll stop and talk to you before doing anything that changes the price.
Emergency services outside of normal business hours may cost more, but we’ll tell you that on the phone before we come out. Most of our customers appreciate knowing the number upfront, even if it’s higher than they hoped, because at least there’s no guessing.
A snake is a long metal cable that we feed into the drain to break through the clog. It’s effective for simple blockages like hair or a single object stuck in the line. It’s also faster and less expensive. But it doesn’t clean the pipe—it just pokes a hole through the problem.
Hydrojetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of the pipe completely clean. It removes grease, scale, soap buildup, and even small tree roots. It’s the better option if you’ve had recurring clogs, if your drains are slow even after snaking, or if you’re dealing with hard water deposits.
In Malabar, we recommend hydrojetting more often than in other areas because Florida’s hard water and older plumbing systems mean there’s usually more buildup than a snake can handle. If you’ve had the same drain clog three times in two years, hydrojetting is probably what you actually need.
Most drain cleanings take between 30 minutes and two hours. A straightforward clog in a single drain—like a bathroom sink or shower—is usually on the shorter end. A main sewer line blockage with roots or heavy buildup takes longer, especially if we’re using hydrojetting or running a camera inspection.
We’ll give you a time estimate when we assess the problem. If it’s taking longer than expected, we’ll let you know why and whether that changes anything about the cost. We’re not trying to stretch the job out.
The bigger factor isn’t always the clog itself—it’s what caused it. If we find that tree roots have cracked the pipe or that the line has significant scale buildup, we’ll talk through what that means and whether you need more than just a cleaning. But we’re not doing any of that without your approval first.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common problems we see in Malabar. Florida’s warm, wet soil is perfect for root growth, and older sewer lines made of clay or concrete develop small cracks over time. Roots find those cracks, grow into the pipe, and eventually cause blockages or even structural damage.
If your drains are slow, if you’re hearing gurgling sounds when you flush the toilet, or if you’ve had multiple backups in different parts of the house, roots are a likely culprit. A camera inspection will show us exactly what’s going on.
Hydrojetting can clear out smaller root intrusions, but if the roots have caused significant damage, you might need a repair or replacement. We’ll show you what we’re seeing and explain your options. Some homeowners choose to do regular maintenance cleanings to keep roots under control. Others decide to replace the damaged section of pipe. It depends on the severity and your budget, but either way, you’ll know what you’re dealing with.
Not always, but it’s a good idea if you’ve had recurring clogs, if more than one drain is backing up, or if you’re buying an older home in Malabar and want to know what condition the sewer line is in.
The camera is a small waterproof device we send down the drain line. It shows us exactly what’s inside the pipe—roots, cracks, scale buildup, bellied sections where water pools, or anything else that might be causing problems. It takes the guesswork out of the diagnosis.
If it’s a simple clog and we clear it with no issues, you probably don’t need a camera. But if the problem keeps coming back, the camera will tell us why. It’s a small upfront cost that can save you from paying for the same repair over and over, or from a major sewer line failure that could have been caught early.
Most homeowners in Malabar benefit from having their drains professionally cleaned every 18 to 24 months. That’s especially true if you have hard water, older pipes, or trees near your sewer line. Regular cleaning prevents buildup from turning into a full blockage.
If you’ve already had a major clog or backup, annual maintenance is a smarter move. It’s a lot cheaper to schedule a cleaning than to deal with an emergency on a weekend or holiday. And if you’re on a septic system, regular drain maintenance helps protect that investment too.
We’re not trying to sell you a service you don’t need. Some homes can go longer between cleanings. But in Brevard County, with the hard water and aggressive root systems we deal with, waiting until there’s a problem usually means the problem is bigger and more expensive than it needed to be.
