When do I need a WETT inspection in Calgary?
The most common triggers are home sales, insurance reviews, newly installed wood-burning appliances, and any situation where a homeowner needs formal documentation before using the system with confidence.

Why a WETT inspection gets requested
These are the situations where homeowners, buyers, sellers, and insurers usually need a report they can rely on.
Our WETT workflow reviews appliance setup, clearances, flue condition, chimney path, visible defects, and code-related concerns, with photo-backed notes where needed.
Pre-purchase and pre-sale documentation
Insurance provider requests and renewals
New stove or insert installations
Peace of mind after repairs or long periods without use


If defects are found, the report should still help move the situation forward. Phoenix frames issues in plain language, documents them properly, and points to the repair or correction path rather than leaving homeowners to interpret technical notes alone.

No. A WETT inspection is a reporting and system-review service. If defects are found, Phoenix can also outline the repair path so the homeowner understands what needs correction next.
Timing depends on season and urgency, but Phoenix treats insurance files, real-estate closings, and safety-sensitive requests as priority scheduling cases whenever possible.
The inspection typically reviews the appliance, clearances, venting path, visible chimney condition, installation context, and other code-related or safety-related concerns relevant to the system.
