WETT INSPECTIONS
A WETT inspection is like a thorough health check for your wood burning appliances and is primarily focused on ensuring the safety, efficiency, and compliance of wood-burning systems in residential and commercial settings.
This inspection is an ancillary service that goes beyond what a home inspector would do during the course of a standard home inspection based on the CAHPI Standards of practice.
WHAT IS INCLUDED AS PART OF THIS INSPECTION?
When it comes to your chimney and wood-burning stove, safety should always be the number one priority. A WETT inspection ensures that your wood-burning system is up to snuff and operating safely by identifying potential hazards, such as creosote buildup, faulty installations, or damaged components. By addressing these issues, WETT services help reduce the risk of fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, and other safety concerns associated with wood-burning systems.
Efficiency is another big benefit of a WETT inspection. We want your wood-burning appliances to work at their best, giving you the most heat for your buck. During the inspection, we’ll check for any worn-out or damaged parts or air vents that are not performing optimally and provide recommendations for improvements, and offer tips on proper usage and maintenance. By addressing these issues, you can ensure that your stove is running efficiently, keeping your home cozy while reducing your fuel consumption and saving you some hard-earned cash.
Compliance is crucial too. Building codes and regulations vary from place to place, and it’s important to make sure your wood-burning system meets those requirements. A WETT inspection verifies compliance, so you can rest easy knowing that your installation is up to code. It’s not just about following the rules; it’s about keeping your home safe and avoiding any legal or insurance complications.
Overall, regular inspections of your wood burning systems are essential for safety, efficiency, compliance, longevity, and peace of mind. By investing in inspections and maintenance, you can protect your home, reduce risks, and maximize the benefits of your wood-burning system.

Our Home Inspector Nathan Boucher was exceptional! A true professional who was very focused and diligent throughout the entire process. He made sure to take the necessary time to fully understand our property and provided detailed notes every step of the way. Nathan was extremely friendly and easy to work with, especially during the summary portion where he made us feel extremely confident in our purchase decision, while also being very clear and honest regarding the advisable work that needs to be done. I can not recommend Nathan and Mike Holmes Inspections highly enough and will certainly be doing so to anyone who crosses my path. Thanks Nathan!
