Frequently Asked Questions

What areas are included in a residential inspection?

A residential inspection typically includes the foundation, roof, walls, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC systems, insulation, and more. Inspectors check for safety hazards, structural integrity, and signs of wear or damage. Specific areas like basements, attics, and crawl spaces are also reviewed if accessible.

How often should I schedule a woodstove inspection?

Annual inspections are recommended for wood-burning appliances to ensure safety and proper functionality. Regular inspections can identify creosote buildup, cracks, or other hazards that could lead to fires or inefficiencies.

What should I prepare for a woodstove inspection?

Ensure the woodstove and surrounding area are clean and free of debris. Remove any ashes from the stove and ensure the chimney or flue is accessible. Documentation of the stove's installation, if available, can help streamline the inspection process.

What documentation is provided after a WETT inspection?

A WETT inspection report includes detailed findings, noting compliance with safety standards, installation concerns, and any recommendations for repairs or upgrades. This document is often necessary for insurance approval or real estate transactions.

When is a WETT inspection required for my home?

WETT inspections are often required when insuring a property with a wood-burning appliance or after installing a new stove, fireplace, or chimney. It is also essential when purchasing a property with existing wood-burning systems to verify compliance with safety standards.

Can a woodstove pass inspection if it’s older?

Older woodstoves can pass inspection if they are properly installed, well-maintained, and meet current safety standards. However, older models may require upgrades to clearances, venting, or fireproofing to comply with modern regulations.

What codes or standards are checked during a commercial inspection?

Commercial inspections focus on compliance with local building codes, fire safety regulations, electrical standards, and HVAC requirements. Inspectors may also review zoning compliance, structural integrity, and accessibility features depending on the property type.

Are outbuildings included in property inspections?

Outbuildings such as garages, sheds, or workshops can be included in residential or commercial inspections upon request. Inspectors evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, and compliance with local codes for these additional structures.
