Fort Benton is the oldest continuously occupied settlement in Montana — established 1846, the head of steamboat navigation on the Missouri, the town that called itself the world's innermost port. Its levee and 1880s riverfront are a National Historic Landmark, the Grand Union has hosted guests since 1882, and Shep still watches the river from his statue. Forty-five minutes northeast of Great Falls, it's also the Chouteau County seat — and Chouteau County, like Cascade, is EPA Zone 1, in a state where Montana DEQ reports about half of tested homes at or above the 4.0 pCi/L action level.
Historic housing is radon's favorite kind. Fort Benton's older blocks carry the foundations of their eras — stone and early concrete, cellars, additions stacked across a century — and every one of those is an entry path for soil gas. The fix doesn't disturb what makes these houses worth keeping: a discreet sub-slab or sub-membrane system, routed thoughtfully, verified by test.
What Fort Benton mostly hasn't had is anyone to call — small county seats sit outside the service maps of the distant franchises. Forty-five minutes on US-87 is a scheduled run for us, not a favor.
Fort Benton wears two hats — river town and county seat — and the second one comes with buildings: the courthouse, the schools, county offices, and the civic spaces where Chouteau County residents spend regular hours. Ground-contact public buildings sit on the same Zone 1 soils the houses do, and commercial radon testing is the cheap, zone-mapped way for a board or district to answer the question before it's asked. For homeowners, the same logic scales down: one test, one number, and — if it's high — one afternoon of verified work.
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: Chouteau 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 Fort Benton house is to test it.
No trip-charge games. Fort Benton 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.
