Chim-Scan® Factory Training (CSFT) Class
My family and I just want to thank you for tuning in. After years of research and development, I’m proud to introduce our 156-page book and training modules designed to make chimney inspections more efficient and accessible. This project started back in 2006 when I saw big gaps in the inspection process, and now it’s finally come together in both book and video form so you can reference it anytime you need.
Inside, you’ll find everything from inspection codes and documentation standards to scanning techniques and defect identification. We’ve included an open-book test (125 questions) with real-world photos, instant feedback, and certification upon completion. I also talk about organizing your inspection data properly — because losing photos or relying only on your phone can cost you.
The goal is simple: help chimney pros, home inspectors, and engineers raise the bar through better education, documentation, and safety. Let’s keep improving this industry together.
