Some plumbing calls are planned. A bathroom renovation needs rough-in work, a landlord wants to replace the fixtures before a new tenant moves in, a business is adding a utility sink. Those calls get scheduled, and we show up at the agreed time ready to work. Other calls start differently: water on the floor before sunrise, a sewer backup in a multi-unit building, a water heater that stopped working sometime overnight. Milan and Son Plumbing handles both, around the clock, every day of the year, including weekends and holidays.
Hollywood is a city with a wide mix of housing and commercial property. Older concrete-block homes sit alongside newer condos and apartment buildings. Restaurants, retail spaces, and office complexes are part of the picture too. Whatever the property type, the call comes in and we scope the job, give you a price before anything is scheduled, and get licensed plumbers on the work.
Plumbing pricing follows the job, not a flat rate. The two things that move a quote are what the fault turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it. A slow drain that clears with a standard snake is a different job from a main line that needs camera inspection and hydro jetting. A faucet replacement on an accessible fitting is a different job from a corroded valve buried under a slab. When you call, we ask enough questions to give you a number that reflects the actual work, not a placeholder.
What the quote covers is explained before anything is booked. If the scope changes once the pipe is opened, we talk through it before continuing. You are not handed a bill at the end that does not match what you agreed to at the start.
Call (754) 654-4245 and you will have a price and a scheduled appointment by the time you hang up.
Same-day service is available for most calls, and emergency calls are answered at any hour. There are no after-hours rates to navigate because there are no after-hours. If water is running somewhere it should not be at two in the morning, the same number reaches the same service.
For properties with tenants or businesses that need to stay operational, we work around the situation. A restaurant that cannot shut down the kitchen for a full day, an apartment building where the repair affects a common area, a condo where access has to be coordinated: these are routine calls, not complications. We confirm the appointment window when you book and we show up ready to work.
Give us a call and we will take it from there.
Hollywood's housing stock runs from mid-century slab homes with original copper supply lines to newer construction, high-rise condos, multi-unit rentals, and commercial buildings with their own drain and supply demands. One call is not like another, and the work divides up accordingly.
A lot of plumbing calls start with a symptom rather than a diagnosis. Water pressure has dropped across the whole house. A drain backs up every few weeks. The water bill has climbed without explanation. Finding the source is the first part of the job. Pressure testing, camera inspection, and electronic leak location are the tools we use to get a clear picture before any pipe is cut or any concrete is touched. The repair gets pressure-tested before the job is called done, so the fix is confirmed rather than assumed.
Some jobs are replacements that have been coming for a while. A water heater that has been running past its useful life. A toilet that has needed repair twice in a year. A section of pipe that has failed more than once in the same spot. When a repair no longer makes sense, we walk through the replacement options and what each involves before any work starts. The job scoped and priced before a wrench comes out, so there are no decisions made without your sign-off.
New fixture installation, water heater replacement on a set schedule, whole-house repiping, water softener and filtration installation: these are jobs where the timeline is yours to set. We work around move-in dates, renovation schedules, and tenant turnovers. The full breakdown of what we install and replace is on the service page. Call and we will tell you what the specific job involves at your address.
A water heater that stops working overnight or delivers lukewarm water when it should be hot is one of the most disruptive problems a home or rental unit can have. We repair and replace both tank and tankless units. In South Florida's climate, where hot water demand runs year-round and hard water accelerates sediment buildup inside tank units, a failing heater often shows signs before it stops working entirely. Inconsistent temperature, a unit running louder than usual, or water that takes longer than it used to to reach temperature are all worth a call.
A new sink or vanity is straightforward when the supply and drain connections are in good shape. In older homes, a fixture swap sometimes uncovers corroded shutoff valves, worn supply lines, or drain fittings that need to be replaced before the new fixture goes in. We handle the full installation and address whatever is found behind the wall or under the cabinet before the job is closed.
A drain that clears and then backs up again within a few weeks is telling you something about the pipe itself, not just the surface clog. Root intrusion, grease accumulation along the pipe wall, or a section of pipe that has partially collapsed are the usual causes. We inspect the line with a camera to find out what is actually happening, then clear it with hydro jetting when buildup is the problem or address the pipe directly when the structure is the issue.
A dripping faucet wastes more water than most people expect, and a seized tap that will not turn fully off is a different problem from one that just leaks a little. Both are worth fixing before they get worse. We repair and replace faucets, shower valves, and hose bibs, and we stock the fittings that come up most often in the housing stock around this area so the visit does not stretch out waiting on parts.
Galvanized steel supply lines corrode from the inside out. The pipe wall thins over time, pressure drops, and the water at the tap can run discolored before the first visible failure shows up. Polybutylene pipe, which was installed widely in homes built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s, is prone to failure at the fittings and along the pipe itself. When either material is present throughout a home, a whole-house repipe with PEX is a more reliable answer than patching failures one at a time. Work carried out by licensed plumbers, and the new system is pressure-tested before the job is finished.
Hire local and you hire people who stand behind the work.
our plumbing page is where the process is written out.
Renovation work and new bathroom additions need a plumber involved before the other trades are too far along to accommodate the pipe runs. Rough-in placement, drain slope, and supply line routing all need to be right before the drywall goes up or the tile goes down. Getting us in at the right stage of a project means the plumbing fits the layout rather than working around it.
We fit around the other trades on a job. If a general contractor is running the schedule, we coordinate with them. If a homeowner is managing the renovation directly, we work off their timeline. Water filtration and softener installation can be added during a kitchen or utility room renovation, and it is easier to run the lines before the space is finished than after.
Call today. Scheduled tomorrow. Flowing by the weekend.
We serve Hollywood and the surrounding communities throughout Broward County. That includes Dania Beach, Hallandale Beach, Pembroke Park, West Park, and Ives Estates. If your address is in the area and you are not sure whether it falls within our coverage, call and we will confirm before anything else.
Right diagnosis. Right repair. Right the first time.
Yes. A problem that has been present for a long time has had time to cause damage that is not yet visible, and it will not resolve on its own. Slow leaks, low pressure, and recurring clogs that have been tolerated for years often turn out to have a straightforward fix once someone looks at the cause rather than the symptom. Call and describe the history, and we will scope what needs to be done.
South Florida's water is high in mineral content, and over time that hardness leaves scale deposits inside pipes, water heaters, and fixtures. In tank water heaters, sediment buildup reduces efficiency and can shorten the unit's useful life. In fixtures and valves, scale accumulation causes drips, reduced flow, and fittings that are harder to operate. A water softener or filtration system addresses the source rather than treating the symptoms one fixture at a time.
If a job requires a return visit, for example because a part needs to be ordered or because additional access is needed, we tell you that before leaving and schedule the follow-up. You are not charged again for the diagnostic work already done. The return visit picks up where the first one left off.
A quote is based on what we can see and test before the job begins. If the work uncovers a condition that was not visible during scoping, such as corroded pipe behind a wall or a fitting that fails when disturbed, the scope may need to expand. When that happens, we stop, explain what was found, and get your agreement before continuing. No additional work is done without that conversation first.
Turning off the main supply when a property will be empty for an extended period is a reasonable precaution. It eliminates the risk of an undetected leak causing damage while no one is present to catch it. We can shut off and isolate the supply as part of a scheduled visit, and we can restore it when the property is being reopened.
Yes. We are available around the clock, every day of the year, so a commercial drain cleaning can be scheduled for early morning, late evening, or overnight if that is what the operation requires. Restaurants, retail spaces, and office buildings often need plumbing work done when the property is not in use, and we can work around that schedule.
A whole-house repipe addresses the supply lines, which carry pressurized water to fixtures throughout the home. Drain lines are a separate system and are not part of a standard repipe. If drain lines are also a concern, we assess them separately and let you know what, if anything, needs attention on that side.
Older homes are at higher risk because the copper supply lines embedded in or running beneath the slab have been in contact with the soil and the local water chemistry for longer. Pinhole corrosion develops over time, and a line that was in good shape a few years ago may have developed a leak since. That said, the condition of the pipe matters more than the age of the home alone. If you are seeing signs of a slab leak, such as a warm spot on the floor, a rising water bill, or damp areas near a wall, call and we will locate the source before it causes structural damage.
Yes, clearing out the cabinet under the sink before the visit saves time and lets the plumber get to the work without delay. The same applies to any area where access is needed, such as around a water heater or near the main shutoff. A clear work area means the job moves more efficiently.
Ask what the job involves step by step, what access will be needed, how long the work is expected to take, and whether any part of the home will be without water service during the process. Ask whether the quote covers everything or whether there are conditions that could change the scope. We answer all of those questions before any work begins, and we do not start until you are satisfied with the answers.
Yes. Before the job is closed out, the plumber walks through what was done and confirms the repair is holding. If access was opened, such as a wall or a cabinet, you are shown the completed work before anything is closed back up. The repair is pressure-tested before the job is called done.
In a multi-unit building, the supply and drain lines for individual units connect to shared risers and main lines that serve the whole building. A problem in one unit can sometimes point to a condition in the shared system rather than the unit itself. Access may need to be coordinated with building management, and some repairs require shutting down a riser that serves more than one unit. We handle both sides of that, and we work with building management when the job involves common-area plumbing.
When you call (754) 654-4245, we will ask what is happening, where in the property it is, and whether anything else has changed recently, like water pressure, a spike in the bill, or a sound you have not heard before. That is enough to scope the job and give you a price. By the time the call is done, you will know what the work involves, what it costs, and when someone will be there. Call and we'll get your water back on.
We also take work in: Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, Lauderhill.
