A WETT-style inspection of wood-burning appliances, venting and clearances, with a written report for insurance, mortgage and real estate requirements in Ontario. The capital region mixes century Glebe and Sandy Hill masonry with sprawling suburban gas fireplaces, all working hard through long winters.
What wett inspection involves
A WETT inspection is the insurance-recognized assessment of a wood-burning system — the appliance, the chimney and the clearances — performed by a certified inspector. Many insurers ask for one before they will cover a home with a wood stove, insert or wood fireplace.
We inspect to the WETT standard, document compliance or deficiencies in writing, and explain exactly what would need to change to bring a non-compliant system up to standard.
WETT Inspection and Ottawa homes
Ottawa winters are long and genuinely cold, so heating appliances work hard from October well into April. Century homes in the Glebe, Sandy Hill and New Edinburgh carry original masonry chimneys, while the suburbs from Kanata to Orleans are full of builder-installed gas fireplaces now due for steady service.
Booking, timing and cost
Timing matters in Ottawa. Autumn is the busiest season for this work across Ottawa, and booking in late summer usually means a faster appointment and a system that is ready before the first cold night. That said, we work year-round — a problem found in January gets fixed in January, not parked until spring.
We keep the process simple for Ottawa homeowners. One call or one form gets the visit booked. On site, findings come first and pricing comes in writing. The work area is left clean, and you get a summary of what was done and what, if anything, to watch for next season.
On cost: the honest answer is that it depends on the appliance, its condition and the access at your Ottawa property. What we can promise is that you will know the number before work starts — every visit ends with a written, itemized quote, and smaller fixed-scope jobs are priced up front.
