Northland Plumbing & Heating has been fixing pipes and solving water problems in Gimli since 1990. The business is third-generation family owned, which means the institutional knowledge built up over 35-plus years stays within the company rather than leaving with management turnover. They operate out of 19133 Minerva Rd and serve residential and commercial clients across the Interlake region, from Gimli itself up through the cottage country along Lake Winnipeg’s western shore.
The range of work covers most of what a property owner in this part of Manitoba would need. On the residential side: water heater replacements and installations, water softeners, pressure tanks and pump systems, holding tanks, and septic field installations. That last one matters because a significant portion of properties in the rural Interlake sit outside of municipal sewer coverage, so private wastewater systems are the norm rather than the exception.
The cottage side of the business is worth noting separately. The Interlake is one of Manitoba’s primary cottage destinations, with thousands of seasonal properties lining the lake. Northland offers winterizing services to prepare cottages for the deep freeze, as well as a cottage watch program – regular check-ins on unoccupied properties through the off-season. That kind of service is genuinely useful in this region and not something every plumber offers.
On the commercial side, they handle sewer and water connections, project management, and general service and repair work. The company maintains 24/7 availability, which in a northern climate is a practical requirement rather than a marketing point.
Phone: 204-642-5369. Address: 19133 Minerva Rd 109N, Gimli, MB R0C 1B0. They carry 4.1 stars across 25 customer reviews and are listed with the Better Business Bureau.

Plumbing in the Interlake climate
Gimli sits roughly 85 km north of Winnipeg on Lake Winnipeg’s western shore. The region gets real winters – temperatures below minus 30 are not uncommon, and the frostline in this part of Manitoba typically reaches 1.5 to 2 metres. Proper pipe depth, insulation, and system design are not negotiable in these conditions.
Companies that have been running in this specific region for decades accumulate knowledge of local soil types, water quality issues, and freeze-thaw patterns that a Winnipeg-based firm sent up for a job might not have. The Interlake has a high water table in some areas, sandy soils in others, and hard mineral-rich well water across much of the region – all factors that affect how a plumbing system needs to be designed and maintained over time.
Northland’s three-generation family ownership means this accumulated knowledge is not going anywhere. That kind of continuity is uncommon in the trades, and it shows in the consistency of the service record across more than three decades.
