How long does wett inspection take in Peterborough?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.

Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Peterborough for most standard scopes.
When's the best time of year for wett inspection in Peterborough?

Do you need a permit for wett inspection in Peterborough?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Peterborough. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
