ACAC COUNCIL-CERTIFIED · IICRC CERTIFIED · INDEPENDENT RADON TESTING SINCE 2009
★ 5.0 · 156 REVIEWSMON–FRI 8AM–5PM
Hampton sits at the southern edge of the Atlanta metro in Henry County, where suburban growth meets more rural terrain. Radon from the underlying geology can enter homes through foundation slabs and crawlspace vents regardless of how new the home is. SafeAir provides independent radon testing in Hampton with lab-certified results in 48-72 hours.
Jeremy Shelton has been testing Hampton 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 Hampton with results in 48-72 hours. We test and report. We do not mitigate.

Yes, and Hampton’s rural-to-suburban transition zone creates notable variability.
Henry County is classified as EPA Zone 2, where roughly 25 to 40 percent of tested homes exceed the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. Hampton occupies the southern portion of Henry County where the Georgia Piedmont Province transitions toward more rural terrain. The documented average across Henry County is approximately 3.4 pCi/L, and Hampton-area properties on lots with higher soil permeability often test at the upper end of that county range.
Hampton’s housing includes newer master-planned communities such as Traditions at Crystal Lake alongside older rural-to-suburban homes on larger lots. Homes on larger lots tend to have crawlspace or slab foundations with direct contact with the underlying soil. Hampton’s geology means two adjacent properties can produce significantly different test results.
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.
Hampton’s mix of master-planned slab communities and older rural acreage homes creates a wide range of foundation types and radon exposure risk.
Older ranch and traditional homes near the Hampton town center and Jodeco Road were built on block crawlspace and pier foundations on larger rural lots. Unencapsulated crawlspaces with minimal soil barriers allow radon-bearing gas to accumulate directly beneath the floor system. These homes, typically built before the 1990s, have rarely been tested and carry the highest risk in Hampton’s housing stock.
Traditions at Crystal Lake and Crystal Lake Village represent Hampton’s largest planned communities, built on slab-on-grade foundations from the late 1990s onward. Radon enters through shrinkage cracks, plumbing penetrations, and the slab-to-stem-wall joint. Georgia construction code does not require radon-resistant features in new slab construction, making a certified test the only reliable indicator.
Sloped terrain in Heritage at Hampton and Gates at Pates Creek made daylight and walk-out basement construction practical. Basement foundations in direct soil contact consistently produce the highest radon readings in a given neighborhood. These homes are Hampton’s priority configuration for radon testing.
Post-2005 subdivisions in Glenmaye and Summer Leigh use energy-efficient construction with tighter building envelopes. Reduced air exchange concentrates whatever radon enters through foundation penetrations and slab joints. Hampton’s variable geology means these homes warrant testing even when construction appears modern and well-built.
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.
Certified written report, reviewed with you directly.
Radon comes up on most Hampton 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 Hampton 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 Hampton and south Henry County, including:
If your neighborhood isn’t listed, we still test there.
Hampton and Henry County are classified as EPA Zone 2, where roughly 25 to 40 percent of tested homes exceed the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. The documented county average is approximately 3.4 pCi/L, and Hampton's position in the transitional southern portion of Henry County, where the Piedmont Province meets more permeable transitional soils, means site-level variation is especially high. Homes in Traditions at Crystal Lake and newer planned communities were built on slab foundations without radon-resistant construction by default. A certified test is the only reliable way to determine whether your Hampton home requires action.
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 Hampton 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 Hampton 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 Hampton 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.
