ACAC COUNCIL-CERTIFIED · IICRC CERTIFIED · INDEPENDENT RADON TESTING SINCE 2009
★ 5.0 · 156 REVIEWSMON–FRI 8AM–5PM
Dallas sits in Paulding County, part of northwestern Georgia’s elevated radon belt where granite and crystalline rock geology push average indoor radon levels above the metro Atlanta baseline. SafeAir provides certified, independent radon testing in Dallas with same-day scheduling and results in 48 to 72 hours.
Jeremy Shelton has been testing Dallas 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 Dallas with results in 48-72 hours. We test and report. We do not mitigate.

Yes, and Dallas sits at the center of Paulding County’s most active housing market.
Dallas and Paulding County are classified as EPA Zone 2, but actual measured test data across the county runs well above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. The underlying geology includes granitic gneiss, hornblende gneiss, biotite gneiss, and sericite schist, all uranium-bearing Piedmont metamorphic formations. A thick saprolite layer derived from these rocks underlies every subdivision in Dallas and moves radon efficiently toward foundations.
Dallas’s rolling terrain produces a genuine mix of all three foundation types within the same neighborhood. Seven Hills, Georgia’s largest master-planned community by housing starts, spreads across 1,830 acres of this terrain with homes on slab, crawlspace, and hillside walkout basements built 2004 to present. Bentwater spans over 2,600 homes in a similar profile. Most of these homes have never been tested.
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.
Dallas’s rolling terrain puts crawlspace, slab, and basement homes within the same community. All three foundation types sit above Paulding County’s uranium-bearing geology.
The original Dallas town grid around Paulding County Courthouse contains pre-WWII bungalows, Craftsman homes, and 1950s and 1960s brick ranches. Crawlspace and pier-and-beam foundations are the norm for this era. These are the oldest foundations in the county, sitting above Piedmont geology that has been producing radon since the rock formed.
Hunters Glen, built 1995 to 2002, and Senators Ridge, with phases from 1998 to 2023, represent Paulding County’s first suburban growth wave. Traditional two-story homes on crawlspace foundations dominate this era, particularly on the county’s sloped wooded lots.
Seven Hills, with homes built 2004 to present on 1,830 acres, is one of the largest master-planned communities in Northwest Georgia. Rolling terrain means slab, crawlspace, and walkout basement homes exist within the same phase. Most Seven Hills homes have never been tested for radon.
Lost Creek by D.R. Horton, Oakleigh Pointe, and current active-build communities represent the newest Dallas inventory. Slab-on-grade is standard in these communities. Georgia does not mandate radon-resistant construction, and Paulding County’s documented elevated test levels apply to new homes as well.
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.

Radon comes up on most Dallas 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 Dallas 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 Dallas and Paulding County, including:
If your neighborhood isn’t listed, we still test there.
Dallas and Paulding County are classified as EPA Zone 2, but measured test averages across the county consistently run above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. The underlying Piedmont metamorphic bedrock, including granitic gneiss and hornblende gneiss documented by USGS, is uranium-bearing and generates radon throughout the saprolite soil column. Seven Hills and Bentwater together represent tens of thousands of residents in homes built primarily 2000 to 2016, the vast majority of which have never been tested. A certified test is the only reliable way to establish your home's actual 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 Dallas 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 Dallas 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 Dallas 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.
