WETT Inspection™

Wood Energy Technology Transfer (W.E.T.T.)

SITE® (System Inspections and Technical Evaluation)

A WETT inspection™ is a review of your wood burning system and performed by a Wood Energy Technology Transfer Certified Technician. These inspections are referred to as SITE® (System Inspections and Technical Evaluation) inspections, However they are commonly referred to in laymen's terms as a "WETT Inspection" or "WETT report".  The most common reasons you may need a visual inspection are as required as part of real estate purchase/sale, a new installation or requested by your home insurance company.  

​

A SITE® basic level 1: Visual inspection includes an inspection of the visible components of the solid fuel-burning appliance and venting system. It will involve measuring clearances, opening doors or dampers, and visually inspecting the chimney from the ground. It includes checking for compliance with applicable codes, standards and manufactures instructions. Any identified deficiencies and potential concerns that may need a more thorough inspection will be noted in the report. A final report will be provided using WETT inspection forms.

​

​WETT-certified individuals do not provide certification for installations or systems. The WETT forms are numbered with appropriate sections from the Ontario Building Code (OBC), Ontario Fire Code (OFC), Canadian Standards Association (CSA) B365 - Installation code for solid-fuel burning appliances and equipment, and Manufactures Instructions . It will capture the Listing Agency or certification standard, if applicable. The WETT inspection forms will be filled out to indicate whether each section is Not Applicable, Compliant, Not Compliant, Unable to Inspect (UTI).
