ACAC COUNCIL-CERTIFIED · IICRC CERTIFIED · INDEPENDENT RADON TESTING SINCE 2009
★ 5.0 · 156 REVIEWSMON–FRI 8AM–5PM
Peachtree Corners developed primarily in the 1970s and 1980s as a planned residential community for workers at Technology Park Atlanta, one of the first master-planned technology campuses in the United States. The hillside terrain along the Chattahoochee River corridor encouraged terrace and daylight basement construction in neighborhoods like Linfield and Holcomb Woods. Gwinnett County testing data places the Peachtree Corners area near 4.2 pCi/L, above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. SafeAir provides independent, certified radon testing throughout Peachtree Corners with same-day scheduling and results in 48-72 hours.
Jeremy Shelton has been testing Peachtree Corners 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 Peachtree Corners with results in 48-72 hours. We test and report. We do not mitigate.
Know your number

Yes, and Peachtree Corners’ terrace-basement housing stock makes the question especially relevant.
Gwinnett County is EPA Zone 2, and city-level testing data for the Peachtree Corners area places the average near 4.2 pCi/L, at or above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. The Brevard Fault Zone runs immediately north of the city, fracturing the granite-gneiss bedrock along Gwinnett’s western boundary and creating additional pathways for radon to migrate upward toward foundations.
Technology Park Atlanta opened in 1966, and the surrounding residential communities were built through the 1970s and 1980s to house the workforce. The hillside terrain encouraged terrace and daylight basement construction: neighborhoods like Linfield, Holcomb Woods, and Spalding Hills have a high concentration of walk-out lower levels, the foundation configuration where radon accumulates first before moving to upper floors.
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 Tech Park development era and the city’s hillside terrain produced a range of foundation types that make block-level assumptions unreliable.
Linfield, Holcomb Woods, and Spalding Hills include homes built into the hillside with walk-out lower levels. This terrace configuration allows radon to accumulate at the lowest livable level before reaching upper floors. Terrace basements test elevated more consistently than flat-lot slab homes in the same area.
Amhurst Plantation, Windsor Forest, and Forum-area subdivisions from the 1980s use slab-on-grade construction. Radon enters through concrete floor joints and utility penetrations. In Gwinnett’s Zone 2 geology, slab homes test elevated more often than most owners expect.
Later-wave subdivisions along Peachtree Parkway and Spalding Drive mix crawlspace and slab foundations. Indian Hill, Pincroft, and Lockridge Forest represent this era. Without a test, the foundation type and specific radon entry pathways are unknown for any individual property.
Homes near Peachtree Corners Town Center and the Forum retail corridor include modern mixed-use residential. Tighter energy-efficient construction reduces natural air exchange, concentrating whatever radon enters through the foundation. Zone 2 geology makes baseline testing worthwhile here 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.
You do not need to be home during the 48-hour measurement period.

Radon comes up on most Peachtree Corners 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 Peachtree Corners 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 Peachtree Corners and the surrounding Gwinnett County area, including:
If your neighborhood isn’t listed, we still test there.
Peachtree Corners and Gwinnett County are classified as EPA Zone 2, with city-level testing data placing the area near 4.2 pCi/L, at or above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. The Brevard Fault Zone runs immediately north of the city, fracturing the granite-gneiss bedrock and creating additional radon migration pathways toward foundations. Technology Park-era terrace and daylight basements, common in neighborhoods like Linfield and Holcomb Woods, are the foundation type most likely to concentrate radon at the lowest livable level. The Gwinnett County Extension Office distributes radon test kits and cites a 22 to 28 percent elevated-home rate across the county.
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 Peachtree Corners 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 Peachtree Corners 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 Peachtree Corners 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.
