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.
How we prioritise
Active leaks, gas smell, and animal-in-flue jump the queue over cosmetic inspection work. We text realistic ETAs, not "we'll get to it."
Common questions
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.
When's the best time of year for 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.
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.
Is 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.
Do you offer same-day inspection in Cambridge?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Cambridge for most standard scopes.
How much does inspection cost in Cambridge?
Most Cambridge jobs land between $156 and $250. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $407. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you need a permit for inspection in Cambridge?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Cambridge. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
What warranty do you offer on 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.
