Tanner Chimney Team

Tanner Chimney Team also recognizes the value of preventive chimney care. Regular inspections can help reveal signs of deterioration, damaged masonry, blocked flues, or other conditions that may affect chimney performance. Identifying these issues early can help homeowners make informed decisions about repairs and future maintenance. Our goal is to encourage responsible chimney care rather than waiting until visible problems interfere with everyday use.

Customer satisfaction begins with clear communication and a professional approach. Homeowners deserve to understand the condition of their chimney and the maintenance options available to them. Tanner Chimney Team values straightforward service recommendations, respectful treatment of residential spaces, and attention to the details that matter during chimney cleaning and maintenance. Keeping work areas orderly and explaining relevant findings are important parts of a positive service experience.

Hearth Containment

Internal Video Scan

Rotary Power Sweeping

Written Safety Audit

Heavy drop cloths seal your living area while commercial dual-motor HEPA vacuums maintain negative indoor air pressure to trap micro-soot.

A specialized 360-degree motorized camera travels the flue length to locate cracked terra cotta tiles, drafting gaps, and hidden creosote glaze.

High-torque flexible rods and nylon sweeping heads strip stage-three creosote deposits from smoke chamber to termination without liner abrasion.

You receive a signed NFPA diagnostic condition report complete with timestamped interior photographs and transparent repair estimates.
