When a pipe lets go or a drain stops moving, the first call matters. Milan and Son Plumbing takes those calls around the clock, every day of the year, including weekends and holidays. There are no off hours. Same-day service is available in Tamarac, and when you call you reach a real person who can tell you what is available and get something on the schedule.
The work covers the full range of residential and commercial plumbing: drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and pipe repair, water heater service, toilet and faucet work, sewer line inspection and clearing, repiping, and emergency calls when something has failed and cannot wait. Property managers, business owners, and homeowners in Tamarac all call for different reasons, but they all need the same thing: a plumber who arrives ready to work and handles the problem correctly the first time.
The most useful thing you can do between calling and the visit is know where your main water shutoff is. In most South Florida homes it is near the water meter, which is typically at the front of the property near the street. Turning it off stops water from reaching the entire house. If the problem is isolated to one fixture, the shutoff valve under the sink or behind the toilet will do the same job for that fixture alone without cutting water to the rest of the building.
Once the water is off, open a faucet at a lower point in the house to relieve pressure in the lines. If water is pooling somewhere, move anything that can be damaged away from it. You do not need to diagnose the problem before you call. Describing what you see and where the water is coming from is enough. We take it from there.
Same-day appointments are often available, and emergency calls are answered at any hour. When you call, you get a price before anything is scheduled, and you are told what the job covers. There is nothing to sign off on without knowing what you are agreeing to first.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we work around what the situation requires. A restaurant that cannot shut down a kitchen drain for a full morning, or a rental unit with a tenant who has a limited window, is a scheduling problem we have handled before. Call and tell us the constraints, and we will figure out what works.
Right diagnosis. Right repair. Right the first time.
Tamarac is a city with a mix of housing that spans several decades of construction. Older concrete-block homes on slab foundations sit alongside newer townhomes, condos, and commercial properties. The plumbing problems that come out of that mix are varied, and the work reflects it.
South Florida's high water table means water does not have far to travel before it finds a way in. A sump pump that is not working correctly is a real problem during heavy rain. We install new sump pumps, replace units that have failed, and diagnose pumps that are running but not keeping up. If a pump is cycling constantly or not activating when it should, that is worth a call before the next storm.
A leak that is not visible at the surface can do significant damage before it shows up as a stain on the ceiling or a soft spot in the floor. In slab-built homes, a supply line running under the foundation can leak for months before the signs are obvious. We locate hidden leaks using pressure testing and detection equipment, which keeps the investigation targeted rather than turning into unnecessary demolition. Once the source is confirmed, repair options depend on where the leak is and what the pipe's overall condition looks like.
A water line that is not properly connected or was run with the wrong fittings will eventually fail, and the failure usually happens slowly enough that nobody notices until there is water damage behind the refrigerator or under the cabinetry. We connect refrigerator and ice maker water lines correctly, using the right materials and fittings for the installation, and we repair lines that have been leaking. Work carried out by licensed plumbers, and the connection is tested before we leave.
A toilet that rocks, leaks at the base, or runs constantly is not a small problem. A loose toilet can damage the floor flange over time, and a slow leak at the wax seal will eventually affect the subfloor. We reseat toilets that have shifted, replace wax rings and floor flanges, and handle full toilet replacement when the unit itself needs to go. Older toilets in rental units and condos often need replacement rather than repeated repair, and we carry the parts to handle those jobs in a single visit.
Plumbing in an appliance is not always as straightforward as it looks. A washing machine, a dishwasher, or a refrigerator all need supply lines and shutoff valves that are properly sized and correctly installed. A valve that was never fully functional, a supply line that is undersized, or a connection that was hand-tightened and left will eventually become a problem.
We handle the plumbing side of appliance connections: the supply line, the shutoff valve, the drain line where it runs to a standpipe or a sink drain. Garbage disposal installation is part of this work too. A disposal that is not properly connected to the drain can back up into the other side of a double sink, and a wiring issue on the plumbing side shows up as a disposal that hums but will not spin. We get the plumbing right so the appliance does its job.
The call that comes in on a Tuesday morning when the water heater has stopped working is a different job from the one that comes in three weeks out when a homeowner wants to repipe before putting the house on the market. Both are plumbing jobs. They are not the same visit.
Faucet and sink repair, shutoff valve replacement, water pressure diagnostics, and leak repair are the calls that come in because something has stopped working and needs to be fixed now. The job starts with understanding what has actually failed, not just what the symptom is. Low water pressure across the whole house can point to a failing pressure regulator, a partially closed valve, or a hidden leak that has been losing volume for a while. We find the source before we recommend a fix.
Water heater replacement, toilet replacement, and sewer line service are jobs where the original equipment has reached the end of its useful life or a problem has developed that repair cannot reliably address. Tankless water heater installation is a common upgrade in this region, where hot water demand runs year-round and energy costs are a real consideration. We handle the full installation, including the water line connections and the gas line on the plumbing side for gas-fired units.
Repiping, new fixture installation, and sewer line inspection are jobs that get scheduled rather than called in as emergencies. Code-compliant plumbing matters on these jobs because the work is often part of a renovation or a sale. The service page carries the full breakdown of what each job involves and what to expect from the visit.
Hire local and you hire people who stand behind the work.
The specifics for a job like this are on the page about drains and pipes.
The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled. When you call, you describe what is happening, and we give you a rate based on what the job is likely to involve. What changes a quote is what the fault actually turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it. A drain cleaning that turns out to be a main line blockage is a different job from a single fixture clog, and the price reflects that once we know what we are dealing with.
The job scoped and priced before a wrench comes out. If the scope changes once the work is underway, that is a conversation before the work continues, not a line item on the invoice afterward. Ask what is covered when you call and you will get a straight answer.
We cover Tamarac and the surrounding communities throughout Broward County. If you are in Sunrise, North Lauderdale, Lauderhill, Margate, or Lauderdale Lakes, we can get a plumber to your address. Call and we will confirm coverage before anything else is arranged.
The repair pressure-tested before the job is called done, wherever in the area the work takes place.
Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside out, and as the interior of the pipe narrows with rust and scale buildup, water pressure drops across the whole house. If the pressure has declined gradually over time and affects every fixture rather than just one, the pipe itself is often the cause. A pressure diagnostic can confirm whether the problem is the pipe material, a failing pressure regulator, or something else. We scope the situation on the call and walk you through what the inspection finds before recommending any work.
Yes, plumbing needs to be coordinated with the renovation schedule rather than added at the end. Rough-in work, which involves running new supply and drain lines before walls are closed, has to happen before drywall goes up. Fixture installation comes at the finish stage. If you are planning a renovation that involves a kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room, call early so the plumbing side can be scheduled in the right sequence.
In some situations, yes. If a pipe can be stabilized or a fitting can be secured to stop active water loss while you decide on a more involved repair, we will tell you that on the call. A temporary measure is not always the right approach, and we will be direct about whether it is practical for your situation or whether the work needs to happen right away.
In most cases, yes. A repair to a single fixture or a section of pipe typically requires shutting off water to that area only, and the rest of the house stays in service. A full repipe or a main line repair may require a temporary shutoff to the whole supply, and we tell you that in advance so you can plan around it.
If you are filing an insurance claim related to water damage or a plumbing failure, we can provide documentation of the work performed, including what was found, what was repaired, and how the repair was confirmed. Let us know at the time of the call that you will need this, and we will make sure the record is complete.
Gurgling is almost always a sign that air is being pulled through the drain line, which points to a partial blockage or a venting problem somewhere in the system. If the gurgling comes from one fixture, the issue is likely localized. If multiple drains or toilets gurgle at the same time, the problem is usually deeper in the main line. Either way, it is worth having the line checked before a full backup develops.
It depends on the appliance and what is already in place. A new water heater, for example, may connect to existing supply lines if they are in good condition and the right size. If the existing connections are corroded, undersized, or in the wrong location for the new unit, new line work is part of the installation. We assess the existing connections when we scope the job and include any necessary line work in the quote.
A crawl space gives access to supply and drain lines that would otherwise require opening walls or floors, which can make certain repairs more straightforward. The condition of the crawl space matters, though. Limited clearance, moisture, or deteriorated pipe supports can affect how the work is approached. We assess what we are working with before scoping the job.
It does, and it is one of the more common calls we get in this area. When a supply line embedded in or running beneath a concrete slab develops a leak, the repair options depend on where the leak is and what condition the rest of the pipe is in. A targeted spot repair works when the problem is isolated. When the pipe system is older and showing wear in multiple places, rerouting the line above the slab is often the more practical solution. We locate the source before recommending either option.
