Understanding WETT Inspections
WETT inspections are essential for identifying potential hazards and ensuring your wood-burning appliance operates safely and efficiently. Our Level 2 Code Compliance Inspection examines every aspect of your woodstove setup. This includes the stove itself, connecting pipes, chimney, and hearth.
For specific installations, such as zero-clearance fireplaces, a system evaluation is necessary. Here is what is covered in the inspection:
Assessment of the woodstove's installation and operation.
Examination of the chimney and clearances from combustibles to ensure safety.
Being informed about what is included in your inspection helps you prepare and provides peace of mind.
