Our chimney inspection and scanning books are what our Chim-Scan® Factory Training is based on. Our Chim-Scan® Chimney Scanning & Inspection Guide is for people who have Chim-Scan® Cameras, and it also includes a "how to" for our equipment.

The Interior Chimney Scanning Guide includes everything except for information on Chim-Scan® Cameras. It's for those who own other types of chimney scanning equipment. Use it if you want to take the Factory Trained Technician test.

What's the difference? It's simple. The Chim-Scan® Guide is for people who have our cameras, and it also includes a "how to" and tips.
