What does Ontario's Fire Code require for chimneys?

  • Inspection every year. The Fire Code requires every chimney, flue and flue pipe to be inspected at intervals of no more than 12 months, when an appliance is added, and after any chimney fire.
  • Cleaning as needed. Chimneys and flues must be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them free of combustible deposits like creosote. How often depends on how much you burn and what you burn.
  • Ontario's advice: have fuel-burning appliances, chimneys and vents cleaned and inspected by professionals every year before cold weather sets in.

What is a WETT inspection?

WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer) certifies people who inspect, install and maintain wood-burning systems. Appliances and companies cannot be WETT certified. Home insurance requirements and real estate transactions are common reasons to get an inspection, so check with your insurer or the sale about what they need. WETT keeps a public lookup where you can confirm someone's certification.

When should you book a chimney sweep?

Late spring and summer are the easiest times to get on a sweep's schedule, and Ontario recommends getting it done before cold weather. If you are booking now, call soon: fall is the busiest season. Book a WETT inspection early too if you are buying a home or your insurer has asked for one.

What should you ask a chimney sweep?

  1. Are you WETT certified, and at what level? You can confirm this in WETT's online lookup.
  2. Are you insured?
  3. What is included? Does it cover the flue, the stovepipe and the smoke chamber? Is an inspection included, and will you get anything in writing?
  4. Do you also do WETT inspections for insurance or real estate? If so, ask which level (visual, technical or invasive) fits what you need.
  5. What happens if you find a problem? Ask whether they do repairs, caps and liners, or refer you elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions about chimney sweeps and WETT inspectors in Brockville

How often does my chimney need to be cleaned in Ontario?

The Fire Code requires an inspection at least every 12 months, and cleaning as often as needed to prevent creosote build-up. Many people who burn regularly have it swept every year.

Is a WETT inspection required by law?

WETT lists home insurance requirements and real estate transactions as common reasons for an inspection. Whether you need one depends on your insurer or the sale, so ask them what they require.

Late spring or summer, after the burning season, is usually easiest to book. Ontario recommends having it done before cold weather.

How do I check someone's WETT certification?

Use WETT's online lookup of certified professionals, or email WETT to verify. Certification is held by individuals, not companies, so check the person who will do the work.
