A WETT-style inspection of wood-burning appliances, venting and clearances, with a written report for insurance, mortgage and real estate requirements in Ontario. Established neighbourhoods and student housing where chimney inspection is often overdue.
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 Waterloo homes
Waterloo's established neighbourhoods have plenty of mid-century and older homes with masonry chimneys, while continual growth adds modern gas units every year. We service both, along with the wood stoves in the rural properties just outside the city.
Booking, timing and cost
Timing matters in Waterloo. Autumn is the busiest season for this work across Waterloo Region, 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 Waterloo 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.
Pricing for this work in Waterloo depends on what we find — equipment, condition and access all play a part. Routine fixed-scope visits are quoted at booking, and anything beyond that is priced in writing after the inspection, before any repair begins.
