WETT Inspection in Peterborough, Ontario

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.

Timing matters in Peterborough. Autumn is the busiest season for this work across Central Ontario, 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 Peterborough 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 Peterborough 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.
