Ulm sits on the Missouri about twelve minutes southwest of Great Falls down I-15 — a river town of about 700 that began as William Ulm's cattle ranch and became a railway stop in 1887. Just northwest of town rises the sandstone cliff of First Peoples Buffalo Jump, one of the largest buffalo jumps in North America — a reminder that the ground around here is layered rock with a long story. The chapter that matters for your basement: Cascade County's soils rate EPA Zone 1, and the county health department reports 60 percent of collected radon samples above the 4.0 pCi/L action level. Ulm's river-terrace gravels and valley soils are no exception.
Housing in and around Ulm runs from in-town homes to acreages and river-bottom properties — which means basements, crawl spaces, and plenty of mixed foundations. Each type has a proven mitigation design, and every install we do ends the same way: a follow-up test showing the number below 4.0, in writing.
Twelve interstate minutes is nothing. Ulm schedules the same week as Great Falls, without a trip-charge conversation.
For an Ulm homeowner planning to stay put, the smart sequence costs almost nothing to start: pick up a discounted kit through Montana DEQ's radon program (or a long-term kit from the county health department), run it in heating season with the house closed up, and read the number. Under 4.0? Retest in a couple of years and carry on. Over it — the county's six-in-ten case — the fix is a single afternoon and a known price, not an open-ended project.
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 Ulm house is to test it.
No trip-charge games. Ulm 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.
