How we prioritise
Active leaks, gas smell, and animal-in-flue jump the queue over cosmetic wett inspection work. We text realistic ETAs, not "we'll get to it."
Response windows across Cambridge
Standard bookings inside Cambridge: 3–5 business days. Same-day: usually before 2pm if we get the call by 9am. Emergency (water in flue, active leak): 90 minutes on weekdays, 3 hours weekends.
Weekend and holiday coverage
Saturday standard. Sunday and stat holidays are emergency-only with a documented callout fee that's waived if we book the follow-up job.
Common questions
Do you offer same-day wett inspection in Cambridge?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Cambridge for most standard scopes.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
How much does wett inspection cost in Cambridge?
Most Cambridge jobs land between $261 and $418. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $680. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Is wett inspection covered by home insurance in Cambridge?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
What warranty do you offer on wett inspection in Cambridge?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
When's the best time of year for wett inspection in Cambridge?
Late September through mid-November with Cambridge averaging 109cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Cambridge?
Yes. Condo boards in Cambridge typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How long does wett inspection take in Cambridge?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
