ACAC COUNCIL-CERTIFIED · IICRC CERTIFIED · INDEPENDENT RADON TESTING SINCE 2009
★ 5.0 · 156 REVIEWSMON–FRI 8AM–5PM
Roswell’s historic district and surrounding neighborhoods span more than a century of construction, from antebellum-era properties near Canton Street to 1990s subdivisions where radon testing was not standard practice. SafeAir brings certified, independent radon testing to Roswell with same-day scheduling and results in 48-72 hours.
Jeremy Shelton has been testing Roswell 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 Roswell with results in 48-72 hours. We test and report. We do not mitigate.

Yes, and Roswell’s geology is worth understanding.
Roswell and Fulton County are classified as EPA Zone 2, where average indoor radon levels are predicted between 2 and 4 pCi/L. The EPA action level is 4.0 pCi/L. Within Zone 2, North Fulton readings consistently trend toward the higher end of that range. The granite-rich Piedmont geology underlying Roswell is the primary driver.
Roswell sits on the Piedmont Plateau, where granite bedrock underlies a 15-to-30-foot saprolite layer. Saprolite is partially decomposed granite: porous, uranium-bearing, and permeable enough for radon to migrate upward into foundations. The Chattahoochee River corridor runs through the western part of the city, where fractured rock zones create short, direct radon pathways from bedrock to foundation.
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.
Roswell’s range of construction eras and foundation types means radon risk varies significantly from one neighborhood to the next.
Mountain Park and the streets surrounding the Roswell Historic District include 1920s-1960s cottages and ranch homes on steep, irregular lots along the Chattahoochee corridor. Crawlspace and pier foundations on fractured Piedmont terrain give radon a direct path into the lowest livable level.
Townhome communities along Holcomb Bridge Road and near GA-400 use slab-on-grade construction on flatter parcels. Radon enters through concrete joints and plumbing penetrations. North Fulton’s uranium-bearing saprolite layer means elevated test results are more common here than owners typically expect.
Large custom builds in Ellard, Litchfield Hundred, and Grayton are built to modern energy-efficient standards. Tighter building envelopes reduce air exchange and concentrate whatever radon enters through the foundation. Baseline testing is worthwhile here regardless of construction year.
Horseshoe Bend, Chimney Lakes, and Martin’s Landing were built on terrain that made daylight and walkout basement construction practical and common. Basements accumulate radon first and produce the highest concentrations in a home. North Fulton’s Piedmont geology makes these neighborhoods the priority configuration for testing.
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.
Calibrated continuous monitor set in your lowest livable level.
Hour-by-hour readings recorded. No need to be home.
Certified written report, reviewed with you directly.
Radon comes up on most Roswell 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 Roswell 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.
SafeAir tests homes and properties throughout Roswell and North Fulton County, including:
If your neighborhood isn’t listed, we still test there.
Roswell and Fulton County are classified as EPA Zone 2, where average indoor radon levels are predicted between 2 and 4 pCi/L. Within that zone, North Fulton readings regularly approach or exceed the 4.0 pCi/L action level, driven by the granite and saprolite geology underlying the area. Results vary significantly between neighboring properties based on foundation type, soil permeability, and ventilation. A certified test in your lowest livable level is the only accurate measurement for your specific home.
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 Roswell 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 Roswell 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 Roswell 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.
