If you really want to use it as a piano pedal bracket, then you can do
\override Staff.SustainPedalLineSpanner #'direction = #UP
\override Staff.PianoPedalBracket #'edge-height = #'(-1.0 . -1.0)
Otherwise, use ordinary text spanners with
\override TextSpanner #'dash-fraction = #'()
\override TextSpanner #'edge-height = #'(1.0 . 1.0)
Note that this answer refers to version 2.10 or earlier. In version
2.11, the
edge-height property of TextSpanner has been replaced by a much more
clumsy construct. To figure out the exact details, enter the two lines above
into a text file and run convert-ly --from="2.10.0" on that file.

I've tried different text span options, but cannot seem to get
exactly what I'm after. Is there a way to have a piano pedal sort of
line above the staff, with the end hook pointing down?
Somewhat like this (though a solid complete line, of course):
