A $50.00 WETT inspection is available with our home inspection packages, our regular price is $125.00. Most home insurance companies now require a WETT inspection prior to issuing policy. A WETT inspection involves checking the appliance for certification by a registered agency such as ULC or Warnock Hersey and ensuring all clearance requirements are met. If unit is not certified requirements are more stringent. Chimneys also have to be inspected which requires that they be visible.

We provide WETT inspection services to Orillia and Simcoe County.
