ACAC COUNCIL-CERTIFIED · IICRC CERTIFIED · INDEPENDENT RADON TESTING SINCE 2009
★ 5.0 · 156 REVIEWSMON–FRI 8AM–5PM
Jefferson Park, Colonial Hills, and Conley Hills are concentrated with 1920s to 1960s homes on crawlspace foundations. Most were built before radon testing was standard practice and have no testing history. SafeAir provides certified, independent radon testing in East Point with same-day scheduling and results in 48 hours.
Jeremy Shelton has been testing East Point 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 East Point with results in 48-72 hours. We test and report. We do not mitigate.

Yes, and East Point’s older housing stock is the primary factor.
East Point 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. The Fulton County average based on Air Chek testing data is 1.8 pCi/L, and approximately one in five Fulton County homes tested has exceeded the EPA action level. South Fulton readings trend toward the lower end of the county range. East Point sits on outer Piedmont metamorphic rock, the same uranium-bearing crystalline geology as the broader Atlanta metro, producing radon at Zone 2 concentrations.
The primary radon factor in East Point is foundation type rather than geographic location within the county. The 1920s to 1960s crawlspace homes concentrated in Jefferson Park, Colonial Hills, and Conley Hills create direct pathways between the radon-producing saprolite layer and the living floor. Homes in these neighborhoods occupied by the same family for decades have often 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.
East Point’s housing spans from 1920s Craftsman bungalows in the historic neighborhoods to post-2000 infill along the Camp Creek corridor. Foundation type and construction era are the strongest predictors of radon accumulation.
Jefferson Park (developed from the late 1920s) and Colonial Hills contain brick bungalows, Cape Cods, and ranch homes on crawlspace foundations. These crawlspaces create a continuous pathway between the soil and the living floor above. Many have been partially sealed over the decades, but gaps in vapor barriers and foundation penetrations remain common in homes of this age.
The Headland Drive corridor and portions of East Point built in the 1960s through 1980s reflect the regional shift to slab-on-grade construction. Slab homes present a lower average radon entry rate than open crawlspaces, but foundation cracks and utility penetrations remain pathways for soil gas. Approximately one in five Fulton County homes tested has exceeded the EPA action level regardless of foundation type.
East Point’s historic neighborhoods have attracted renovation buyers adding insulation, vapor barriers, and high-efficiency HVAC to 1920s-1940s bungalows. Energy upgrades that seal the building envelope can increase radon concentrations if crawlspace or foundation entry pathways are not addressed at the same time. Testing after a significant renovation provides a current baseline.
Newer construction in the Camp Creek corridor includes slab-on-grade homes built within the last 20 years. New construction is not a guarantee of low radon levels: radon enters through concrete slab cracks and utility penetrations at rates that vary by soil conditions and lot topography. Tyler Perry Studios’ arrival at the nearby Fort McPherson site has accelerated buyer activity across all East Point neighborhoods.
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 East Point 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 East Point 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 East Point and surrounding South Fulton County, including:
If your neighborhood isn’t listed, we still test there.
East Point and Fulton County fall in EPA Zone 2, with a county-wide average of 1.8 pCi/L based on Air Chek testing data. Approximately one in five Fulton County homes tested has exceeded the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. South Fulton, including East Point, trends toward the lower end of the Fulton County range. The 1920s to 1960s crawlspace homes concentrated in Jefferson Park, Colonial Hills, and Conley Hills are the configuration most likely to produce elevated readings, as these foundations create a direct pathway from radon-generating saprolite into the living space.
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 East Point 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 East Point 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 East Point 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.
