WETT Inspection Services Canada
If your home has a wood-burning fireplace, stove, insert, or chimney, a WETT inspection is essential for safety and insurance compliance. Atta-Boy's certified WETT inspectors assess your wood-burning systems to ensure they meet Canadian safety standards; protecting your family and your investment.
What Is a WETT Inspection?
WETT stands for Wood Energy Technology Transfer. A WETT inspection is a formal assessment of any solid-fuel burning system in a home, including:
- Wood-burning fireplaces and inserts
- Wood stoves and pellet stoves
- Chimneys and flue systems
- Outdoor fire pits and wood boilers
WETT inspections are commonly required by insurance companies and mortgage lenders before a home sale can be completed. Without a passing WETT inspection, you may be unable to get coverage for your wood-burning appliances.
What Does a WETT Inspection Cover?
Our certified WETT inspectors examine every component of your solid-fuel burning system, including:
- Clearances to combustibles
- Chimney condition, liner, and cap
- Firebox and smoke chamber integrity
- Installation compliance with CSA and building code standards
- Creosote buildup and fire hazard assessment
- Proper air supply and ventilation
You'll receive a formal WETT inspection report that can be submitted directly to your insurance provider or lender.
When Do You Need a WETT Inspection?
A WETT inspection is recommended or required in several situations:
- When buying or selling a home with a wood-burning appliance
- When applying for or renewing home insurance
- When making changes to an existing wood-burning system
- When a wood-burning appliance hasn't been inspected in several years
