Yes, the City of Edmonton requires a plumbing permit for any new installation or alteration to the drainage system. As of 2026, the base permit fee is $185.00 plus a 4% safety code fee, totaling approximately $192.40.
A simple pump replacement in an existing pit typically costs between $650 and $1,200. A brand-new installation requiring concrete cutting and pit excavation starts at $2,500 and can exceed $4,500 depending on complexity.
While optional, it is highly recommended due to Edmonton's heavy summer storms which often coincide with power outages. A professional-grade battery backup adds $500 to $1,500 to the project but can prevent tens of thousands in flood damage.
Licensed plumbers in Edmonton currently charge between $75 and $150 per hour. A standard replacement takes 2-3 hours, while a full new system installation can take 8-12 hours of labor.
