Visual Inspection - Purpose
What is it used for?
This type of inspection may be required as part of a real estate purchase, as requested by your insurer, as required by the Authority Having Jurisdiction or as part of a Fire Code requirement. It also provides peace of mind to you prior to use.
Visual Inspection - Scope
What is included
This includes a basic inspection of the solidfuel- burning appliance and venting system components that are visible. It will include measurements of clearances, opening doors or dampers, and a visual inspection of the chimney from the ground. It will identify any noted deficiencies and red flags that may require a more detailed inspection.
It will include a final report on WETT inspection forms.
Visual Inspection - Need
When is it Required?
- If you have just purchased the property and are unsure about the appliance, you should have this inspection done.
- If you change your appliance or some of the visible components of the system, you should have the inspection done prior to operation.
- If there is obvious evidence of a problem with the system, a “Technical” inspection should be completed.
- This type of inspection may be required before insurance coverage can be issued
