Plumber in Markdale & Grey Highlands

Markdale sits up in the Grey Highlands on Highway 10, south of Owen Sound through Chatsworth. Muzzell Plumbing has worked on homes and farms in this area since 1976, and we know how hard the highland winters are on plumbing.

About Our Plumbing Services in Markdale

Muzzell Plumbing service truck

Markdale is one of the higher, colder spots in Grey County, and its winters show it: heavy snow, long cold stretches and frost that drives deep. That makes frozen and burst pipes one of our most common calls here — supply lines on outside walls, crawl spaces, unheated additions and long runs to garages and barns. Homes in the village are generally on municipal water and sewer, while the farms and country properties across Grey Highlands rely on private wells and septic systems. The older homes along Toronto Street and the side streets often still have galvanized supply and cast iron drains, and many newer homes on the edges of town are adding finished basements that need sump pumps and proper rough-ins. We thaw and repair frozen lines and reroute or insulate them so the problem doesn't come back, replace well pumps and pressure tanks, install water treatment for hard well water, handle water heaters and hot water tanks, install sump pumps with backups, and take on bathroom, kitchen and basement plumbing work.
