    Your Trusted Wood Stove Inspector

With a commitment to delivering top-notch service, our licensed home inspector, Royce Babcock, is your go-to expert for all your wood-burning appliance inspection needs.

    Level 1 Visual Inspection - What We Cover

    We inspect different types of wood-burning appliances, including:

    1. Freestanding Woodstoves
    2. Woodstove/Pellet Inserts
    3. Pellet Stoves
    4. Fireplaces

    Our Level 1 Visual Inspection ensures your wood-burning appliances operate safely and efficiently. We look for potential problems, like creosote buildup, that could lead to chimney fires or other issues. With our inspections, you can identify and address problems before they become serious safety concerns.

    Why You Need a WETT Inspection

    A WETT inspection is important for a few key reasons:

    Safety: Ensuring your wood-burning appliance operates safely, preventing chimney fires and other potential hazards.

    Insurance Requirements: Many insurance companies and municipalities require a woodstove inspection. If you're selling your home, ensuring compliance with local building codes may be necessary.

    Longevity: Regular inspections can extend the lifespan of your woodstove, saving you money in the long run by preventing costly repairs or replacements.
