Fireplace Insert Inspection in Pickering
A fireplace insert is a sealed heater dropped into an existing masonry firebox. Most inserts installed after 1990 require a stainless-steel liner — insurance won't cover claims on inserts vented into a bare masonry flue. In Pickering, our inspection visit takes 45–90 minutes and includes a written photo report.
