Belt sits in its creek canyon about 25 minutes southeast of Great Falls — the town where Montana coal mining started, when John Castner began hauling Belt coal to Fort Benton in 1877. By 1900 it was the county's second town, nicknamed “Little Pittsburgh,” and its mines fueled the Great Falls smelter for decades. That mining history is a plain-spoken reminder of what this country sits on: ground worth digging into, geologically busy, in a county the EPA rates Zone 1 and whose health department reports 60 percent of radon samples above the action level.
Belt's housing skews genuinely old — the compact townsite along Belt Creek carries a century of basements, cellars, and hand-poured foundations from the mining decades, with newer homes filling in around it. Older foundations mean more entry paths: unsealed sump pits, cracked slabs, stone walls, dirt-floor corners under additions. None of it is exotic work — mixed and partial foundations are a design detail, not a premium.
Twenty-five minutes out the Lewistown highway is well inside our working range — Belt jobs schedule the same week as Great Falls jobs, without a trip charge conversation.
A 1905 miner's cottage and a 2005 ranch get held to the same number: below 4.0 pCi/L on the follow-up test, or we're not done. Old foundations sometimes take a different design — a sub-membrane section where a cellar floor is dirt, an extra suction point where an addition meets the original slab — but the physics don't care about the vintage, and neither does the retest. Start with a cheap test this heating season; if the number's high, the fix is an afternoon and a known price.
Most tested homes in this part of Montana come back high. One call gets you the number — and the fix if you need it.
(406) 770-7460Assume yes until tested: Cascade County is EPA Zone 1 like nearly all of Montana, and Montana DEQ reports about half of tested homes statewide at or above the 4.0 pCi/L action level. The only way to know a specific Belt house is to test it.
No trip-charge games. Belt is inside the normal working range from our Great Falls base, and jobs there schedule the same week like everything else.
The same honest range as the rest of the area: standard sub-slab systems typically about $1,000 to $2,500 installed, with foundation type the biggest variable. See the full cost breakdown.
