Independent Asbestos, Mold & IH Testing Lab for Inspectors and Consultants
You run the inspection and collect the samples; AGT Labs runs the accredited analysis behind your report. Send us asbestos (PLM, PCM, clearance), mold (spore trap, tape lift, swab, bulk), Legionella, lead, silica, metals, VOC and other industrial hygiene samples — AIHA-LAP (IHLAP + EMLAP), NVLAP and PJLA accredited, Texas DSHS and TDLR licensed, with free sample kits shipped nationwide. We never inspect, collect samples or remediate, so we never compete with you for the client. New to working with us? See how it works.
Why Inspectors & Consultants Choose AGT Labs as Their Independent Lab
You already own the inspection and the sample collection. What you need is a lab that will not slow you down, embarrass you in front of a client, or bury a simple result in unfamiliar terminology. That is the whole program.
Free Sample Kits & Pump Loaner Program
Coolers, containers, chain-of-custody forms and even air-sampling pumps shipped to your jobsite at no charge — see the loaner program.
Priority Rush Turnaround
Standard 5 business day turnaround, with rush options from 4-day (+25%) down to 1-day (+100%), so your client deadline is never the bottleneck.
One Lab, Every Credential
AIHA-LAP (IHLAP + EMLAP), NVLAP and PJLA accreditation plus Texas DSHS and TDLR licenses on one chain of custody — no splitting projects across labs.
24/7 Online Results Portal
Client-ready PDF reports and raw data, available the moment they are finalized — see the online portal.
Co-Branded Reporting Available
Ask your account contact about adding your company's name alongside ours on reports issued for your clients.
A Direct Line, Not a Call Center
Every lab account gets a dedicated contact who already knows your projects — no re-explaining your account every time you call.
How Independent Testing Works
Four steps between your inspection and a client-ready report.
Request a Kit
Free containers, coolers, and a pre-filled chain of custody shipped to your jobsite or office — same day in Houston, 1–2 days nationwide.
Inspect & Collect
You run the inspection and collect the sample on-site. We never touch it until it reaches our accredited lab.
Ship or Drop Off
Prepaid nationwide shipping, or same-day drop-off at 10200 East Freeway, Suite 101, Houston TX 77029.
We Test & Report
Accredited analysis posted to your portal, ready to attach to your inspection report or hand to your client.
Who We Work With
If your work produces a sample and your client expects a defensible lab report, this program is built for you.
Asbestos & Mold Inspectors
Bulk, air and clearance submissions on one chain of custody — see asbestos testing and mold testing lab.
Restoration & Remediation Contractors
Post-remediation mold clearance samples, asbestos final air clearance and lead wipe analysis (NIOSH 9100) — independent, accredited results for your project file. Note: EPA residential lead-hazard dust-wipe clearance requires an NLLAP-recognized lab; AGT Labs' lead wipe analysis is accredited under AIHA IHLAP for workplace surfaces.

IAQ, VOC, metals and chemical exposure panels for standing client accounts — see indoor air quality testing.
Environmental Engineering Firms
Pre-demolition surveys and waste characterization for renovation and remediation projects across the Gulf Coast and nationwide.
