Explore Options for Your Plumbing Project
Some plumbing projects are larger investments than others. Whole-home Poly-B replacement, hot water systems, renovation plumbing and other planned improvements can represent a significant household expense.
Depending on your project, location and eligibility, you may be able to explore financing or government and utility programs that can help with eligible costs.
Studio Plumbing does not determine approval or eligibility for third-party financing, government assistance or EPCOR rebate programs. Program requirements and funding can change, so homeowners should confirm current terms directly with the program provider before proceeding.

Projects You May Want to Finance
Seniors Home Adaptation & Repair Program — SHARP
The Government of Alberta's Seniors Home Adaptation and Repair Program helps eligible Alberta seniors finance certain repairs, adaptations and renovations to their primary residence through a low-interest home equity loan.
Plumbing and home-system work can fall within the types of repairs and improvements considered by the program, depending on the work and the homeowner's eligibility.
The Government of Alberta determines eligibility and program approval. Homeowners should review the current SHARP requirements before entering into work based on anticipated program funding.
Current SHARP Loan Basics
Program requirements can change. Always confirm current eligibility, interest rates and funding directly with the Government of Alberta.
RainWise Stormwater Rebate Program
EPCOR's RainWise Rebate Program is designed to help Edmonton property owners and renters complete eligible projects that manage stormwater and help reduce flood risk.
Up to $2,000 Per Property
Eligible applicants can complete multiple qualifying RainWise projects during the three-year pilot period, subject to program requirements, project-specific rebate calculations and the combined maximum.
Funding is limited and approvals are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
Examples of RainWise Projects
How RainWise Rebates Are Calculated
The amount depends on the type of eligible stormwater project completed. These figures should always be confirmed with EPCOR before beginning work.
Downspout Disconnection
Rebate is based on eligible expenses. Downspout disconnection eligibility also depends on property location within Edmonton's eligible combined sewer network area.
Rain Barrels & Storage
Rebates are based on eligible expenses and the storage capacity of qualifying rain barrels or storage tanks.
Eligible LID Projects
Certain eligible low-impact development projects use directly connected impervious area to calculate the rebate.
Apply Before Starting Your Project

Complete & Claim

Backwater Valve Subsidy
A backwater valve is installed in a sanitary sewer line to help prevent sewage from flowing backward into the home during a sewer backup.
EPCOR currently offers eligible Edmonton homeowners financial assistance toward the professional installation of an approved backwater valve.
This is a separate program from the RainWise combined single-family rebate maximum.
Up to $800
EPCOR's current program provides up to $800 toward an eligible interior or exterior backwater valve installation.
