Building-Health Testing for Property Managers & Commercial Owners

Managing a commercial building or a multi-property portfolio means responding to the same recurring health-and-safety needs no matter the tenant mix: mold and indoor air quality complaints, Legionella risk in cooling towers and domestic water systems, asbestos-containing material in older buildings before renovation or tenant build-out, and lead-based paint in pre-1978 construction. AGT Labs is the accredited industrial hygiene lab behind that testing, analyzing every sample in-house in Houston.

Commercial portfolios span every state, and the standards don't change with the zip code. We serve buildings anywhere in the United States — kits ship out, samples come back by prepaid return label, and analysis is identical wherever it was collected.

Property Management & Commercial Buildings IH Testing — FAQ

What testing do property managers and commercial building owners typically need?
The recurring needs are mold and indoor air quality testing (tenant complaints, water intrusion, HVAC issues), Legionella testing to support a building's water management program, asbestos operations & maintenance (O&M) sampling for older buildings before renovation or disturbance work, and lead-based paint testing for pre-1978 construction. Most portfolios need some combination of all four on a recurring basis.
Is this different from your Tulsa, Little Rock, Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio location pages?
No conflict — they work together. This page covers the analytes and lab methods for property management and commercial buildings as an industry, wherever your portfolio is located. Our Tulsa, Little Rock, Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio pages are regional hubs with on-site sampling and courier pickup for property managers in those metro areas. If your buildings are in one of those regions, start there for local service; every sample either way is analyzed at the same accredited Houston lab.
Do you test for mold in commercial and multi-tenant buildings?
Yes. Mold and indoor air quality testing is performed under our AIHA-EMLAP accreditation, covering air sampling, surface/tape-lift sampling and bulk material sampling. This is the most common request from property managers responding to tenant complaints, visible water damage or a pre-lease/pre-purchase building assessment.
Do you support Legionella water management programs?
Yes. We are a CDC ELITE Program member laboratory, which is a proficiency-testing membership rather than an accreditation, and we culture-test cooling towers, domestic hot water systems and other building water systems in support of an ASHRAE 188-aligned water management program. Legionella culture has a fixed incubation period of roughly 10 days and cannot be rushed, regardless of turnaround tier selected for other analytes.
Do older commercial buildings need asbestos testing?
Often, yes. Floor tile, mastic, pipe insulation, popcorn ceiling texture and roofing material in buildings built or renovated before the 1980s commonly contain asbestos. Bulk material analysis is performed under our NVLAP accreditation (101793-0, PLM only); PJLA covers both bulk PLM and air PCM clearance sampling for renovation, tenant build-out or demolition work.
Do you serve property portfolios outside Texas?
Yes — buildings anywhere in the United States. Every sample is analyzed at our Houston lab regardless of where it was collected, so a mold sample from a building in Colorado, Florida or Illinois gets the same accredited analysis and turnaround as one in Texas. We ship a kit scoped to your building with a prepaid return label; courier pickup and on-site CIH sampling are available across our Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas footprint.
How fast is analysis and can you set up a standing account for our portfolio?
Standard turnaround is 5+ business days from log-in, with rush tiers down to 1 business day (+100%) for most analytes; Legionella culture is fixed at roughly 10 days and cannot be rushed. Samples received before 2:00 PM CST are logged the same day. Property management companies and REITs with multiple buildings run on a standing account with reserved capacity, consistent methods across every property, and a single point of contact.
