Radon mitigation in Laurel
Radon help for Laurel and the west end of Yellowstone County, about 15 miles from Billings.
Laurel had 7,222 residents at the 2020 census. Most of the town sits on the north side of the Yellowstone River, and the Clarks Fork joins the Yellowstone about two miles southeast of town. Laurel grew up around the railroad, which arrived in 1882, and BNSF's Laurel Yard is still the largest rail yard between St. Paul and Pasco, Washington. Its older core near the tracks is surrounded by newer houses on the edges of town and on rural acreage nearby.
Do river-valley homes have more radon?
There's no simple rule. Radon levels depend on the particular soil and gravel under each house and on how tight the foundation is, not on distance to the river. Homes near the Yellowstone can test low or high, so test yours.
Older railroad-era houses
Laurel's oldest homes date to the early 1900s, when the town's population jumped from 368 in 1900 to 2,338 by 1920. Houses from that era can have stone or block foundations, dirt-floor cellars and lots of openings, which often means a system with a membrane over exposed soil as well as a suction point through any concrete.
What radon work do Laurel homes need?
- Systems for older homes with cellars or partial dirt floors
- Sub-slab systems in newer basement houses
- Testing and mitigation for rural homes outside town
- Real estate testing for buyers commuting to Billings

Test the air first; that's where most radon exposure comes from. If you're on a private well, ask the radon company or Montana DEQ about testing the water too.
