A WETT inspection evaluates your entire wood-burning system — from the chimney crown and flue liner to the firebox and hearth clearances — against the CSA B365 installation code. If deficiencies are found, we provide clear recommendations so you know exactly what needs to be addressed before using your fireplace or wood stove.

WETT stands for Wood Energy Technology Transfer, and a WETT inspection is a standardized safety evaluation of any wood-burning appliance and its venting system. Insurance companies, real estate lawyers, and home inspectors across Caledon and Ontario regularly require a WETT inspection to confirm that a fireplace, wood stove, or chimney meets current safety codes.
Our inspections cover chimney crown and cap condition, flue liner integrity, firebox and smoke chamber structure, masonry and mortar joints, chimney height and clearances, and appliance installation compliance with B365 code requirements.
Over 20 years of inspecting chimneys across the GTA, we've seen it all. Here are some of the most common issues our WETT inspections uncover in Caledon homes:
A cracked or deteriorating chimney crown allows water to seep into the masonry, leading to freeze-thaw damage that worsens every winter. Left unrepaired, this can compromise the entire chimney structure and become a costly repair.
Missing masonry around the flue opening is a serious safety concern. Gaps in the chimney top allow moisture, animals, and debris to enter the flue while also reducing the structural support for the chimney cap and rain cap.
An improper flue connection inside the firebox can allow smoke and dangerous gases — including carbon monoxide — to leak into your home. This type of deficiency often goes unnoticed without a professional inspection.
