★ 5.0 · 156 REVIEWSMON–FRI 8AM–5PM
Kennesaw’s residential neighborhoods in Cobb County include established subdivisions near Kennesaw Mountain where older construction and the region’s granite geology combine to elevate radon risk. SafeAir provides certified, independent radon testing in Kennesaw with results in 48-72 hours.
Jeremy Shelton has been testing Kennesaw 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 Kennesaw with results in 48-72 hours. We test and report. We do not mitigate.

Yes, and Cobb County’s Zone 1 designation matters here.
Kennesaw and Cobb County sit in EPA Zone 1, where average indoor radon screening levels are predicted above 4.0 pCi/L. Zone 1 represents the highest risk designation in the EPA system. The crystalline rock geology underlying Kennesaw’s neighborhoods contributes to elevated radon potential across all home types.
Kennesaw’s residential areas span several decades of construction, from older established neighborhoods near Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield to newer development along Barrett Parkway. New homes carry the same radon risk as older ones when built on Zone 1 geology. A certified test gives you the actual number for your property.
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.
The range of construction eras near Kennesaw Mountain and along Barrett Parkway is what makes subdivision-level generalizations unreliable.
Older neighborhoods near Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield and along Cherokee Street include ranch homes and split-levels with crawlspace foundations. Open crawlspaces on Cobb County’s crystalline rock geology are a common pathway for elevated radon levels.
Many of Kennesaw’s 1990s-2000s subdivisions along Barrett Parkway and Stilesboro Road feature slab-on-grade construction. Cobb County’s Zone 1 designation means these homes test elevated more often than in lower-risk metro areas.
Recent construction near Kennesaw’s Town Center and along Chastain Meadows Parkway is tightly sealed for energy efficiency. Reduced air exchange concentrates radon entering through the foundation. Zone 1 geology makes baseline testing important here.
Some of Kennesaw’s older and larger properties near Kennesaw Mountain include basements where radon concentrates first. Basement-foundation homes in Zone 1 counties consistently produce the highest radon readings in a given property.
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 Kennesaw 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 Kennesaw 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 Kennesaw and Cobb County, including:
If your neighborhood isn’t listed, we still test there.
Kennesaw and Cobb County sit in EPA Zone 1, the highest radon risk designation, where average indoor radon screening levels are predicted to exceed 4.0 pCi/L. The crystalline rock geology underlying Cobb County is the primary driver of this elevated potential. Results vary between individual homes based on foundation type, soil, and ventilation. A certified test is the only accurate measure of your specific property.
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 Kennesaw 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 Kennesaw 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 Kennesaw 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.
