WETT Inspections, Cleaning & Maintenance
WETT, or Wood Energy Technology Transfer, has been Canada's national registrar for wood burning systems since 1988. Certified professionals complete coursework, training and 80 weeks of hands-on experience, all to make sure wood systems are compliant, vent cleanly and stay well maintained. I inspect chimneys and stoves, clear creosote from venting, and service worn parts. I am your local certified professional, so let me know what you need dealt with.
Code & Compliance Checks
I do not certify wood heating systems myself. I inspect whether they comply with manufacturer specifications, carry the appropriate ULC certification and meet the CSA B365-10 installation code. If something is not compliant, you will know exactly what and why. Depending on what you need, I can submit a non-compliant report, or I can upgrade the system so it meets code and then do the report. Canadian insurance companies require a WETT inspection for coverage.
Chimney Cleaning & Maintenance
Sometimes a chimney gets blocked from wet wood or improper burning and needs cleaning right away, before a chimney fire starts. Even on a system that runs well, buildup happens gradually, so it is easy to put off until there is a problem. A yearly clean clears the creosote out of your chimney and flue, and while I am there I can service the stove if it needs it. Depending on your insurer, a yearly cleaning by a WETT certified professional may be a requirement. Whatever your situation, reach out and we will set a time.

A wood heating system is worth having the right person look it over. I bring the WETT training your insurer looks for and the building experience to back it up, and I handle every inspection and clean myself. You will know exactly where your system stands and what, if anything, it needs.
