ACAC COUNCIL-CERTIFIED · IICRC CERTIFIED · INDEPENDENT RADON TESTING SINCE 2009
MON–FRI 8AM–5PM
You're under contract. The inspection came back and radon was flagged. Your contingency window has a hard deadline, and you need a certified result you can put on the table.
SafeAir is an independent radon testing company. We test and report. We do not mitigate — so the number we give you has no business attached to it. We work with buyers, sellers, agents, and attorneys across metro Atlanta, and can schedule same-day in most of our service area. From scheduling to certified result, most transactions resolve in 4 to 5 days.

A certified consultant responds within one business day.
Contact SafeAir by phone or through the contact form. Same-day scheduling is available in most of our service area. Once you book, SafeAir contacts the listing agent directly to coordinate property access.
For accurate results, the home must be in closed-house conditions for at least 12 hours before the test begins — all windows and doors closed, HVAC at normal operation. This is the seller's or listing agent's responsibility; SafeAir provides written instructions to share with the listing side.
A SafeAir inspector places a certified electret ion chamber device at the lowest livable level of the home. The device runs for 48 hours.
SafeAir returns after 48 hours to retrieve the device. Retrieval access is again coordinated with the listing agent.
The device goes directly to an accredited laboratory. Results are typically returned approximately 48 hours after the lab receives the device.
A written report in pCi/L is delivered to whoever needs it: the buyer, their agent, the seller's attorney, the title company. You name it.
Well below both the EPA and WHO reference levels. No action required.
“Action level” is not a legal barrier to closing. It is a data point that informs negotiation. The parties decide what to do with it.
An elevated result does not end the deal. It gives the buyer information, and information has value at the negotiating table.
Radon mitigation in a Georgia residential transaction typically costs between $800 and $2,500 depending on the home’s foundation type and size. That is a known, bounded number. Buyers and their agents generally handle elevated results in one of three ways: request that the seller complete mitigation before closing, request a closing credit in an agreed amount, or accept the property as-is and schedule mitigation after purchase.
SafeAir’s scope ends at the certified result. We do not recommend specific mitigation contractors. We have no financial relationship with any mitigation company. We do not benefit from what the result says.
The result gives you leverage. What you do with it is your decision.
Seller completes mitigation before closing
Request a closing credit in an agreed amount
Accept as-is and mitigate after purchase

"I use SafeAir because they test and report. They don't mitigate. The number they give you isn't being used to sell you anything."
If you’re referring radon testing in 40+ transactions a year, what matters is scheduling speed, professional communication, a clean report, and no conflict of interest on the back end.
SafeAir delivers same-day scheduling in most of metro Atlanta. Results come back in 48 to 72 hours from lab receipt. The written report is in pCi/L, clearly formatted, and appropriate for transaction files. There is nothing else being sold.
When a buyer is already nervous, the last thing you need is a testing company using the result to open a mitigation conversation. SafeAir does not do that. We coordinate listing-agent access so you’re not playing phone tag between parties.
In most of our service area, SafeAir can schedule same-day. The device runs 48 hours, then goes to an accredited lab for approximately 48 hours of analysis. Plan for 4 to 5 days from scheduling to certified result when closed-house conditions are maintained from the start. Scheduling early in your contingency window is the single biggest factor.
No. The seller does not need to vacate during the 48-hour period. They do need to maintain closed-house conditions: windows and doors closed, HVAC at normal operation. Normal activity inside is fine. SafeAir provides written instructions to share with the listing side beforehand.
Yes. SafeAir delivers a written certified report in pCi/L appropriate for transaction files, attorney review, or lender documentation. It identifies the testing company, the device used, the lab that analyzed it, and the result — a formal document, not a summary email.
Contact SafeAir immediately and explain the timeline. In some situations there are options, including negotiating a brief contingency extension. A shortened or improperly conditioned test is not reliable, and SafeAir will tell you that directly rather than run a test that cannot be trusted.
