Any time you turn on the news these days, it seems like there’s always a story about a hurricane wreaking havoc somewhere in the United States. The video often shows people preparing for the storm or hurricane restoration companies cleaning up the aftermath. According to NPR, the number of hurricanes hitting the U.S. hasn’t increased by much in recent years, but climate change is making them more powerful. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, ocean temperatures have risen an average of 0.14°F each decade since 1901. When ocean water is warmer, storms can suck up more moisture, which then later falls as heavier rain. That equates to larger storm surges and more flooding.
If you’re in an area that’s prone to hurricanes and looking for a way to help your neighbors through the stressful storm season, you may be thinking about opening your own flood restoration franchise. With PuroClean’s proven business model, you’ll be able to give back to your community in the wake of the hurricane, providing peace of mind to clients as you restore their residential or commercial properties with compassion and professionalism.
What Happens After a Hurricane?
After a hurricane hits, employees of natural disaster recovery companies like PuroClean are some of the first people on the ground. PuroClean Franchise Owners move quickly to assess the damage to their clients’ property and get any emergency work done right away. They’re committed to cleaning up flood damage, along with mold and other biohazards, quickly and ethically. This might involve water extraction, drying and dehumidification, carpet restoration, cleaning and deodorizing. The primary goal is to restore the property to a safe condition that meets government guidelines and regulations.
PuroClean also offers reconstruction services, including inspections, demolition and debris removal, permit acquisition and project management. All the services PuroClean Franchise Owners offer are designed to help their friends and neighbors get back to their normal lives after a harrowing experience.
The increased severity of hurricanes in recent years makes PuroClean not only one of the best franchises to own in Florida, but also one of the best in the entire country. With nearly 500 franchises through the U.S. and Canada, Franchise Owners throughout our network help one another by answering questions and offering support.
Commitment to the Community
PuroClean Franchise Owners know their businesses are more than just disaster cleaning companies — they’re cornerstones of the community. They develop personal relationships with clients as they help them get back on their feet after disaster strikes. That’s why PuroClean gives them the highest level of training possible. Before they open their doors, Franchise Owners spend three weeks at the industry-leading PuroClean Academy in Tamarac, Florida, where they learn about the latest restoration technology and earn certification through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). The PuroClean Academy is also home to a state-of-the-art Applied Structural Drying facility — the premier facility of its kind in the U.S. and one of only 27 in the world. Once they’ve opened, Franchise Owners have access to online on-demand training modules to keep their skills sharp.
PuroClean is also one of the best disaster restoration business opportunities for military veterans because of our PuroVet program, which offers veterans a 25% discount on their franchise fees. Military personnel thrive in the restoration business because the skills they develop during their service — such as discipline, attention to detail, leadership and the ability to act decisively in fast-paced, high-pressure situations — are put to excellent use in the disaster restoration industry.
Be Prepared
When R&R Magazine wanted to help people prepare for upcoming storm seasons, they interviewed PuroClean CEO and Chairman Mark Davis to get some hurricane preparedness tips. Davis encouraged both residential and commercial property owners to:
- Know your risks.
- Check your insurance.
- Secure your property.
- Create an evacuation plan.
- Create an emergency kit.
