Why would I need a WETT Inspection?

 Do you require a basic visual inspection such as for insurance or pre-purchase of a home equipped with a wood burning appliance or fireplace? A basic visual inspection is a general overview of the readily accessible parts to determine if the system meets current regulations. If this description fits your needs, any WETT certified member is trained to perform a basic visual inspection.

If your wood burning system is not functioning properly, is damaged or causing concerns such as smoke spillage, rapid creosote accumulation, etc., you should contact a WETT certified technician or sweep. A list can be found at the WETT BC Website.
