At Rn86 Solutions, we exist for one simple reason: to help people breathe safer air in their homes and workplaces.
Founded and operated in Knoxville , Rn86 Solutions is a locally owned and operated radon testing and mitigation company serving homeowners, real estate professionals, builders, and commercial clients. We specialize exclusively in radon related services, allowing us to focus deeply on education, accuracy, and long-term solutions that actually work.
Why the Name Rn86 Solutions?
The name Rn86 Solutions comes directly from the periodic table. Yes I am a complete geek.
Rn is the chemical symbol for radon, and 86 is radon’s atomic number. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted, yet it can have a significant impact on long-term health if left unaddressed.
We chose the name Rn86 Solutions because it reflects our singular focus. Radon is not just one of many services we offer, it is what we specialize in. Our work is grounded in science, accuracy, and education, not guesswork or fear-based messaging.
The name also serves as a reminder of our approach: understand the science, respect the data, and provide clear, effective solutions that protect people and properties.
Why the Website Colors?
The color palette used throughout the Rn86 Solutions website is intentional and rooted in science.
When radon gas is subjected to an electric current in a discharge tube, it emits a bluish-violet or purple glow. As a noble gas, radon releases light when energized, similar to neon or argon, but with its own distinct hue due to its atomic structure and high-energy emission spectrum.
We chose these colors to reflect the invisible nature of radon made visible through science and testing. The cool blue and violet tones represent accuracy, technology, and trust, while subtly reinforcing our focus on radon at a scientific level rather than fear or speculation.
Just like our services, the design is meant to be calm, clear, and informative, bringing visibility to something you cannot see and helping people make confident, informed decisions.
Why We Started the Company
As a home services company, we spent years inside other people’s homes and properties. During that time, we repeatedly saw radon mitigation systems that were installed incorrectly and, in some cases, dangerously. Poor fan placement, improper venting, electrical issues, and systems that did not meet industry standards were far more common than they should have been.
Those experiences made one thing clear: homeowners needed a better option.
Rn86 Solutions was started to raise the standard for radon mitigation. Our goal was to provide homeowners, buyers, sellers, and property managers with systems that are designed and installed correctly the first time, using current AARST/ANSI standards and best practices.
We believe radon mitigation should never be rushed, guessed at, or treated like a commodity. Every system should be properly designed for the structure, installed safely, and documented clearly so homeowners can trust that it is doing what it is supposed to do.
That commitment to proper design, safety, and standards-based installation is the foundation of Rn86 Solutions.
By ensuring radon systems are installed correctly and to current standards, we help protect families’ health and give agents greater confidence at and after the closing table.
Our Mission
Our mission is to be a premier services company that is customer-centric, provides education, and acts with integrity.
Radon is an invisible, odorless gas and for many people it is also confusing and misunderstood. We believe our job is not just to install a system or run a test, but to educate our customers so they can make confident, informed decisions about their health and their property.
