Use DIY for low-stakes curiosity and routine retests if you nail placement and closed-house rules. Use professional CRM testing for real estate, disputes, post-mitigation verification you want documented, and confusing repeat results.
DIY pitfalls
- Wrong room or height
- Opened windows during the test
- Delayed mailing to the lab past hold times
- No chain-of-custody story for a skeptical buyer or seller
What pros add
Calibrated continuous monitors, hourly graphs, tamper indicators, photographic placement documentation, and a report written for decision-makers. See our testing service and real estate testing.
