Brampton mixes older brick homes around downtown and Bramalea with large newer subdivisions in Springdale, Castlemore and Mount Pleasant. The older houses have masonry chimneys that need repointing and caps; many newer ones have factory-built wood fireplaces with metal chimneys that still need sweeping and a WETT check.
WETT inspections are the top request we see from Brampton — insurers asking for a certificate after a purchase or a switch — followed by sweeps and cap installs.
What we see in Brampton
- Insurers often ask Brampton buyers for a WETT certificate on prefab wood fireplaces, not just masonry ones.
- Metal chimneys on newer homes need the right cap and a check of the chase top.
- Older Bramalea homes are due for repointing on the weather side.
