ACAC COUNCIL-CERTIFIED · IICRC CERTIFIED · INDEPENDENT RADON TESTING SINCE 2009
★ 5.0 · 156 REVIEWSMON–FRI 8AM–5PM
Woodstock is one of Cherokee County’s fastest-growing cities, with new subdivisions built alongside older established neighborhoods. All of them sit above geology associated with elevated radon risk. SafeAir provides independent, certified radon testing with same-day scheduling and lab-grade results in 48-72 hours.
Jeremy Shelton has been testing Woodstock homes for indoor air quality problems since 2009. He founded SafeAir after discovering a mold infestation in his own crawlspace had affected his health for more than a year. Radon is different from mold in every way but one: you can’t know it’s there without a test.
SafeAir provides ACAC & IICRC-certified radon testing across Woodstock with results in 48-72 hours. We test and report. We do not mitigate.

Yes, and growth doesn’t reduce the risk.
Woodstock and Cherokee County sit in EPA Zone 1, Georgia’s highest radon risk designation. Average indoor screening levels in Zone 1 counties are predicted to exceed 4.0 pCi/L. Cherokee County’s granite and crystalline rock geology contributes to this elevated potential across all foundation types and construction eras.
Woodstock’s growth over the past two decades has brought thousands of new homes to the county, from established neighborhoods near Downtown Woodstock to newer master-planned communities. Radon risk applies to new and older construction alike. A certified test in your lowest livable level gives you a result specific to your home.
Zone data gives you a probability. A test gives you your actual number.
According to the U.S. EPA, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
Woodstock’s range of construction types is what makes street-level generalizations about radon unreliable.
Older neighborhoods near Downtown Woodstock and along Towne Lake Parkway include ranch and two-story homes with crawlspace foundations. Cherokee County’s Zone 1 geology means crawlspace homes here warrant testing regardless of apparent condition or home age.
Many of Woodstock’s newer subdivisions near Little River and Highway 92 use slab-on-grade construction. Cherokee County’s Zone 1 geology means results here regularly exceed 4.0 pCi/L on slab homes, more often than in lower-risk metro areas.
Woodstock’s newer in-fill and master-planned construction near Towne Lake is tightly sealed for energy efficiency. Less air exchange concentrates whatever radon enters through the foundation. Cherokee County’s geology makes baseline testing here especially worthwhile.
Larger-lot properties and custom homes in outlying areas of Woodstock include finished basements where radon concentrates first. Basements in Zone 1 counties like Cherokee consistently produce the highest concentrations and should be tested first.
Whatever your home type, the continuous monitor goes in your lowest livable level. The result is specific to your property, your foundation, your soil.
Jeremy or a SafeAir consultant places a calibrated continuous monitoring device in the lowest livable level of your home. The device records radon readings hour by hour over 48 hours.
Continuous electronic monitors produce significantly more data than charcoal canister kits. Their results are accepted by lenders, buyers’ agents, and real estate attorneys throughout Georgia. The $15 UGA Extension kit works for general awareness. It does not work for real estate transactions.
After device pickup, your written report arrives within 24 hours. It documents your radon level, testing conditions, and the inspector’s certification. A SafeAir consultant reviews the findings with you directly.
You do not need to be home during the 48-hour measurement period.

Hour-by-hour readings recorded. No need to be home.

Radon comes up on most Woodstock contracts now. Buyers’ agents request it. Some lenders require it. The due diligence window on most Georgia contracts runs 7–10 days.
What matters in that window: you need an independent result. A company that tests and sells mitigation has a financial reason to find a problem. SafeAir tests and reports only. If the result is below 4.0 pCi/L, you’re done. If it’s above, you know before closing and you negotiate from that position.
Mitigation in Woodstock typically runs $800–$2,500 depending on foundation type and system design. Knowing the number before you close is leverage. Discovering it after is not.
If scheduling is time-sensitive, note your closing date in the form. SafeAir prioritizes contingency-window requests.
SafeAir does not sell radon mitigation systems. That is a deliberate choice.
Most radon companies test and mitigate. That creates a conflict: the company that finds a problem also profits from solving it. Jeremy built SafeAir to remove that conflict. He reports what the monitor records, regardless of the result. If your test comes back elevated, he explains what the number means and what your options look like. You choose your mitigator independently.
Jeremy holds certifications through ACAC (Certified Indoor Environmental Consultant, Certified Microbial Consultant) and IICRC. He has been testing indoor air quality in Georgia homes since 2009.

If your neighborhood isn’t listed, we still test there.
Woodstock and Cherokee County are designated EPA Zone 1, the highest radon risk classification. Average indoor radon screening levels in Zone 1 counties are predicted to exceed 4.0 pCi/L. Cherokee County's granite geology is the primary driver of this elevated risk. Individual results vary by property: a certified test in your lowest livable level is the only way to know your specific radon level.
There are none. Radon is odorless, colorless, and produces no symptoms you would connect to it. Long-term exposure is cumulative. The only way to know if radon is present at an elevated level is a certified test.
Contact SafeAir for current pricing. For context: professional continuous monitor testing in the Woodstock area typically runs $150-$300. The UGA Extension Program offers $15 charcoal kits for general screening, but those results are not accepted in most real estate transactions.
SafeAir uses 48-hour continuous electronic monitors. Your written report is typically delivered within 24 hours of device pickup. Most Woodstock clients have results in hand within 3-4 days of scheduling.
The EPA recommends mitigation at that level. SafeAir provides the test and the result. We do not sell mitigation systems. If your result is elevated, we explain what it means and what your options are. Mitigation in Woodstock typically costs $800-$2,500 depending on foundation type.
Georgia has no state law requiring radon disclosure or testing for home sales. However, buyers increasingly request it during due diligence, and some lenders require it on certain loan types. If a buyer requests a test and the contingency window is open, completing it before that window closes protects your transaction.
Jeremy has tested hundreds of Georgia homes since 2009.
No obligation. No upsell. Just a certified result you can trust.
