Osoyoos WETT Inspection Questions, Answered

What Osoyoos homeowners most often want to know ahead of a WETT inspection.

  • Level 1 visual inspection
  • Wood stoves, inserts & fireplaces
  • Clearances checked
  • Written report
Do you offer WETT inspections in Osoyoos?

Yes, Osoyoos is part of our service area. Give us your address when you book and we will confirm the visit.

When is a WETT inspection required?

Most often when an insurer asks for one, when a home with a wood-burning appliance is bought or sold, or after a stove, insert or chimney has been installed or changed.

How much does a WETT inspection cost in Osoyoos?

$199.95 for a WETT Level 1 inspection of the first appliance, and $99.95 for each additional wood stove, fireplace or similar appliance on the same property.

Does a seasonal or vacation home in Osoyoos need a WETT inspection?

If it has a wood stove or fireplace, your insurer may ask for a report just as for a year-round home. Check your policy, and we can inspect while you are at the property.

Do I need to be home during the inspection?

The inspector needs access to the appliance, the chimney and the areas around them. Being there is useful, because you can ask questions as the inspection goes.

How often should a wood stove or fireplace be inspected?

There is no single rule for every home. Have it inspected when your insurer asks, when the property changes hands, after any change to the system, or whenever you have a concern.
