Did you know there are 3 types of WETT Inspection?

Although there are 3 types of WETT inspection that are progressive, Level 1 leads to 2 and 2 leads to 3. Most Insurance companies and hence most Real Estate transactions require Level 1

 

What is a WETT inspection? It’s a visual inspection of a wood burning appliance.  WETT is Wood Energy Technology Transfer.  There are three levels of inspections available in addition to maintenance done to chimneys, such as sweeping.

Level one is a visual inspection of readily accessible components of a wood burning system. The purpose is to determine if the system meets current standards and regulations. No components are required to be  disassembled and mounting of the roof is not mandatory during a level one inspection. Level two is an inspection that includes the dismantling of smoke pipes in addition to the visual inspection. Trim may also be removed from fireplace inserts. The chimney would likely be swept and often, a camera inspection of the chimney can be done, as a part of this service. Level three would include all the details of a level two, but would also involve cutting holes in walls to inspect hidden components. This type of inspection is very rarely done and would likely be ordered by the Fire Marshall in response to suspicions of serious code issues At Home and Play Inspections provides Level 1 inspections to assist you in the Real Estate Transaction or for knowledge of your home.
