★ 5.0 · 156 REVIEWSMON–FRI 8AM–5PM
Conyers spans more than 140 years of residential construction, from 1880s pier-and-beam homes in Olde Town to Honey Creek, one of the largest planned subdivisions in Rockdale County, built continuously from 1972 to 1998. Rockdale County falls in EPA Zone 2, with a county testing average near 3.4 pCi/L. SafeAir provides independent, certified radon testing throughout Conyers with same-day scheduling and results in 48-72 hours.
Jeremy Shelton has been testing Conyers 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 Conyers with results in 48-72 hours. We test and report. We do not mitigate.

Yes, and Conyers’ combination of historic and large-scale crawlspace construction makes testing relevant across all neighborhoods.
Rockdale County is EPA Zone 2, with county testing data showing an average near 3.4 pCi/L. The Lithonia Gneiss formation, which produced the highest gneiss-related radon rate in the 1995 AARST Atlanta-area study, extends into Rockdale County. Historic granite quarry operations in Conyers confirmed the uranium-bearing character of the local bedrock.
Olde Town Conyers holds pier-and-beam homes from the 1880s through 1920s, some of the oldest residential structures in the county with no vapor barriers or modern foundation sealing. Honey Creek, built continuously from 1972 to 1998, is Rockdale’s largest subdivision and contains a high proportion of crawlspace homes in its earlier phases. Two distinct construction generations make neighborhood-level assumptions unreliable without a test.
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.
Conyers spans from 19th-century pier-and-beam to 1990s slab, with Honey Creek representing one of Georgia’s largest single-subdivision crawlspace concentrations.
The historic district around Olde Town Conyers holds some of the oldest homes in Rockdale County, built on pier-and-beam foundations above the local gneiss formation. These structures predate vapor barriers and sub-slab features by 50 to 70 years.
Honey Creek, Rockdale County’s largest planned subdivision, was developed continuously from 1972 to 1998. Early phases used crawlspace foundations; later phases transitioned to slab. The 1970s and 1980s crawlspace homes in earlier sections represent the higher-risk foundation configuration.
Subdivisions developed in the 1990s along Flat Shoals Road and the Highlands area shifted to slab-on-grade. Radon enters through concrete joints and utility penetrations. The Zone 2 geology applies uniformly across the slab and crawlspace sections of Conyers.
Newer Conyers subdivisions from the 2000s use modern construction with tighter building envelopes. Reduced air exchange concentrates radon from lower-rate soil entry in the Zone 2 geology. Testing confirms actual levels regardless of construction year.
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.

Radon comes up on most Conyers 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 Conyers 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 Conyers and the surrounding Rockdale County area, including:
If your neighborhood isn’t listed, we still test there.
Conyers and Rockdale County are classified as EPA Zone 2, with county testing data showing an average near 3.4 pCi/L. The Lithonia Gneiss formation, which produced the highest gneiss-related radon rate in the 1995 AARST Atlanta-area study, extends into Rockdale County. Historic granite quarry operations in Conyers confirmed the uranium-bearing bedrock character of this area. Honey Creek, built from 1972 to 1998, contains a high proportion of pre-1990 crawlspace homes. Olde Town Conyers' pier-and-beam stock from the 1880s represents an even older and more open foundation configuration.
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 Conyers 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 Conyers 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 Conyers 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.
