Common questions
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
What warranty do you offer on wett inspection in Hamilton?
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.
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.
Is wett inspection covered by home insurance in Hamilton?
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.
Do you need a permit for wett inspection in Hamilton?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Hamilton. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you offer same-day wett inspection in Hamilton?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Hamilton for most standard scopes.
How long does wett inspection take in Hamilton?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
How much does wett inspection cost in Hamilton?
