Your kitchen sink drains in seconds, not minutes. Your shower doesn’t flood your feet with soapy water. Your toilets flush without that slow, gurgling sound that makes you nervous every time someone uses the bathroom.
That’s what you get when the clog is actually gone—not just pushed down the line to come back in three weeks.
A real drain cleaning service doesn’t just snake the surface. It removes the grease, the hair, the mineral buildup, and the tree roots that have been choking your pipes for months. If your home was built before 1975, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with cast iron pipes that corrode from the inside out. That means clogs come back faster, and chemicals make it worse.
We use video inspection to see what’s actually happening inside your pipes. Then we clear it with the right tool—whether that’s a cable, a hydro jet, or a full line replacement if the pipe is too far gone.
Drain Wizard is a family-owned business based right here in Cocoa. We’ve been serving Merritt Island and the rest of Brevard County for nearly two decades, and we know what clogs drains around here—hard water, aging infrastructure, and Florida’s relentless humidity.
Our team brings over 40 years of combined plumbing experience and 20 years of military service. That means we show up on time, we tell you the truth about what’s wrong, and we don’t upsell you on things you don’t need.
We’re licensed, insured, and local. When you call, you’re talking to someone who lives and works in the same community you do.
First, we run a camera down your drain. This isn’t a guessing game—we need to see what’s blocking the line, where it is, and whether the pipe itself is damaged. You’ll see the footage too, so you know exactly what you’re paying to fix.
Next, we choose the right method. For most clogs, a motorized cable does the job. For grease buildup, tree roots, or mineral deposits, we bring in the hydro jetter—a high-pressure water system that scours the inside of your pipes clean. It’s the difference between poking a hole through the clog and actually removing it.
Once the line is clear, we test it. We run water, check the flow, and make sure everything drains the way it should. If we find damage—cracks, corrosion, collapsed sections—we’ll walk you through your options. Sometimes a repair works. Sometimes the pipe needs to be replaced. Either way, you’ll know what’s happening before we do anything.

You get a full video inspection of the problem area. That’s how we figure out what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it. No assumptions, no shortcuts.
You get the cleaning itself—whether that’s cable snaking or hydro jetting. We don’t stop until the line is flowing the way it should. And if we hit something unexpected, we’ll tell you before we keep going.
You also get honest advice about what’s next. If your pipes are old and corroding, we’ll let you know. If the clog is going to come back because of a bigger issue, we’ll explain why. A lot of homes in Merritt Island were built in the ’60s and ’70s, and those cast iron pipes don’t last forever. Hard water speeds up the corrosion, and tree roots find every crack.
We’re not here to scare you into a big job. But if your system is failing, you deserve to know before it turns into an emergency.
It depends on what’s blocking the line and how bad the buildup is. A cable snake works well for simple clogs—hair, paper, small obstructions. It punches a hole through the blockage so water can flow again.
Hydro jetting is what you need when the clog keeps coming back, when you’ve got grease coating the inside of your pipes, or when tree roots have worked their way into the line. The high-pressure water doesn’t just poke through—it strips the walls of the pipe clean. That means the clog doesn’t come back in two months.
We’ll know which one you need after we run the camera. If your pipes are old or fragile, hydro jetting might not be safe—we’ll tell you that upfront. The goal is to clear the drain without damaging the pipe.
Because snaking only clears a path—it doesn’t remove what’s stuck to the pipe walls. If you’ve got grease, soap scum, or mineral deposits building up over time, the clog comes back as soon as more debris flows through.
In Merritt Island, hard water is a big part of the problem. Minerals stick to the inside of your pipes and narrow the opening. Add grease from your kitchen sink or hair from your shower, and it doesn’t take long before you’re clogged again.
The other issue is old pipes. Cast iron corrodes and develops rough spots inside. Those rough spots catch debris and turn into clogs faster than smooth pipes would. If your home was built before 1980, that’s probably what’s happening. A camera inspection will show us if the pipe itself is the problem.
You can, but it’s not a good idea—especially if you have older pipes. Chemical cleaners work by creating heat and dissolving organic material. That sounds great until you realize they’re also eating away at your pipes, especially if they’re cast iron or galvanized steel.
They also don’t work on grease clogs, tree roots, or mineral buildup. All they do is sit in your pipe, generate heat, and maybe move the clog a few feet down the line. Then it comes back, and now your pipes are weaker than they were before.
If you’ve already used a chemical cleaner and the drain is still clogged, let us know before we start. Some of those products create dangerous fumes when they mix with other materials, and we need to take precautions. A mechanical cleaning is safer, more effective, and doesn’t damage your plumbing.
Most jobs take between one and two hours, depending on where the clog is and how severe it is. A simple kitchen or bathroom drain might take 30 minutes. A main sewer line clog with roots or heavy buildup can take longer.
The camera inspection adds about 15 minutes, but it’s worth it. We’re not guessing where the problem is or what’s causing it—we’re looking right at it. That saves time and keeps us from doing unnecessary work.
If we find damage during the inspection, we’ll stop and talk to you before moving forward. You’ll never get surprised with extra work or a bigger bill. We’ll explain what we found, what it’ll take to fix it, and what happens if you wait. Then you decide.
Yes. A sewer backup isn’t something you can wait on—it’s a health hazard and it gets worse fast. If wastewater is coming up through your drains or toilets, call us right away at 321-288-7686.
We’ll get someone out as quickly as possible to assess the situation and clear the line. Most sewer backups are caused by a blockage in the main line—tree roots, collapsed pipe sections, or a massive buildup of grease and debris. We’ll use the camera to find it, then clear it with a cable or hydro jet depending on what’s needed.
If the backup is caused by a broken or collapsed pipe, we’ll let you know immediately. In that case, cleaning won’t fix it—you’ll need a repair or replacement. But we’ll walk you through the options and help you figure out the best move. The priority is stopping the backup and getting your plumbing safe to use again.
Rooter service specifically refers to clearing tree roots out of your sewer or drain lines. It’s a type of drain cleaning, but it requires heavier equipment—usually a motorized cable with a cutting head designed to slice through roots.
Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line clogs in Florida. They grow toward water sources, and once they find a crack or joint in your pipe, they work their way inside. Over time, they form a thick mat that catches everything flowing through the line.
Regular drain cleaning handles clogs caused by grease, hair, soap, and debris. Rooter service is what you need when roots are involved. We’ll know which one applies after the camera inspection. If roots are the issue, we’ll clear them out and talk to you about long-term options—because if the roots got in once, they’ll come back unless the pipe is sealed or replaced.
