Plumbing Services in Milton, MA
Twenty services, one phone number. Pick the problem you have, read what to do first, then call the 24/7 line.
Every page below is written around a real household problem: a meter that will not stop spinning, a drain that backs up when the washer drains, a tank that went cold overnight. Each one explains the symptoms, what you can safely do while you wait, how the repair works and what drives the price.
If you are not sure which page fits, call. The dispatcher asks a few questions, sends a licensed plumber and you hear the price before work starts. For gas smells, leave the building and call 911 or your gas utility from outside first.

Faucet Repair

Drains, sewers and disposals
Slow drains, gurgling and backups point to different spots in the line. These pages explain how a plumber finds the blockage and clears it.

Clogged sinks, tubs and lines cleared with a cable or a jetter.
Hydro Jetting
High-pressure water scours grease, scale and roots from stubborn lines.

Sewer Inspection
A camera run through the line before a purchase or after repeat backups.

Jammed, humming or leaking disposals fixed or replaced.

Sump Pump Installation & Repair
Pumps, check valves, battery backups and discharge lines for wet basements.
Basement Waterproofing
Drainage and plumbing fixes for damp or wet basements.
Plumbing Installation
New fixtures, added bathrooms, rough-in work and permitted installs.

Shops, restaurants and rental buildings, including after-hours calls.
How to pick the right page
Start with the symptom, not the name of the repair. A damp ceiling, a bill that doubled and a meter that moves with every tap off all point to a hidden leak, so leak detection is the page to read. Water backing up into a tub when the washer drains points to the main line, which is where sewer line cleaning and sewer inspection come in.
Heat problems split the same way. A tank that is cold or leaking belongs with water heater repair or replacement. A house that has lost heat in winter belongs with boiler repair, because roughly a quarter of Massachusetts homes heat with a steam or hot-water boiler according to the 2020 federal residential energy survey.
What every service page includes
Each page opens with the urgent version of the problem where one exists, then explains the repair, a comparison table, the cost drivers, local notes and a set of questions people ask before they call. Cost sections list what moves the price and never a made-up range, because the honest number comes from looking at your pipes.
Pages that cover emergencies carry a short list of steps to take while you wait. Shutting off the main valve, stopping use of drains and keeping people away from wet electrical areas are the three that come up most.
Questions about choosing a plumbing service
Start with what you see. Water on a floor or a high bill points to leak detection. Several drains slowing at once points to the sewer line. No hot water points to the water heater. If it still is not clear, call and the dispatcher sorts it out.
Both. Installations, repiping and sump pump work can often be scheduled the same day when the calendar allows. The 24/7 line takes emergencies at any hour.
Not all. Massachusetts requires a permit before piping is installed, altered, replaced or repaired, but minor repairs such as fixing a leaky faucet or clearing a blocked drain do not need one. Ask the Milton plumbing inspector about your job.
Use the state eLIPSE portal to look up a licence, its years and any discipline history, or call the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters at 617-727-9952. Do this for any plumber you hire.
Yes. The service area pages cover Canton, Randolph, Quincy and Braintree, each with its own local details.
