Get a Free EstimateShepherd is a small, close-knit community located north of Billings in Yellowstone County. Characterized by its rural residential atmosphere, Shepherd offers families the appeal of open spaces and a quieter lifestyle while remaining just a short drive from all the amenities of Billings. The community is served by the Shepherd School District and features a mix of homes ranging from established farmsteads and ranch properties to newer residential builds on acreage lots. Because many Shepherd homes are built on larger parcels of land with full basements or crawl spaces, radon testing and mitigation are critical considerations for homeowners in this area.

Shepherd's location in northern Yellowstone County places it within one of Montana's highest radon risk zones. The area's terrain, which transitions from the Yellowstone River valley to the rolling hills and benchlands north of Billings, is underlain by sedimentary formations that are natural sources of uranium and radium. As these elements decay, they produce radon gas that migrates upward through the soil and can enter homes through any opening in the foundation, including cracks, construction joints, gaps around utility penetrations, and even through porous concrete.
Radon levels in the Shepherd area can vary significantly from one property to the next, even among neighboring homes. This variability is due to differences in the underlying soil composition, foundation construction, and how tightly each home is sealed. A home just down the road from yours might have perfectly safe radon levels while your home tests dangerously high. The only way to know your home's radon level is through professional testing. The EPA and the Montana Department of Environmental Quality both recommend that every home be tested for radon, regardless of location or age.
Rural homes in the Shepherd area often have features that can increase radon risk, including well water systems that may contain dissolved radon, larger basement footprints, and homes built directly on soil without the benefit of municipal infrastructure. Our team has extensive experience mitigating radon in rural residential properties and will design a system that accounts for your home's specific construction and site conditions. Do not leave your family's health to chance. Call (406) 476-7479 today for professional radon testing and mitigation in Shepherd.
