DeKalb County is in EPA Radon Zone 1, the highest of the three predicted radon potential categories on the EPA map. In UGA Extension data covering tests from 1990 through 2022, 1,829 of 9,943 tests, or 18.4%, were at or above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. Levels vary from house to house, even next door, so testing during due diligence is the only way to know a specific home's level.

Decatur, Lithonia, Stonecrest, Stone Mountain, Redan, and the surrounding South DeKalb neighborhoods.
We recommend it. DeKalb County is in EPA Radon Zone 1, and about 18% of DeKalb tests in UGA Extension data came back elevated.
We look closely at renovation work, since fresh finishes can hide older problems. Your report notes what appears new, what appears original, and what deserves a closer look.
You're welcome to. We suggest arriving about two hours after the start time so we can walk you through the key findings with clarity and focus.
That is normal, even for newer homes. No home is perfect, and many findings are routine maintenance. Your report sorts everything by priority, and most buyers use it to negotiate repairs or credits rather than walk away.
By system, with photos and plain explanations. Every finding is marked Immediate Action, Repair Needed, or Maintenance, so you can see at a glance what matters most.
