It seems that whenever you turn on the news lately, there’s another story about a weather-related disaster in the United States. It could be the record snowstorms in New Orleans, tornadoes in the Midwest, or — perhaps the most devastating recent example — wildfires tearing through southern California. In fact, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, there were 27 individual weather and climate disasters that caused damages totaling more than $1 billion in 2024 — a total that’s second only to the 28 billion-dollar disasters in 2023. 

While we hear about the impact of these disasters in the moment, we often hear less about their aftermath and the residents of the affected areas who are left to pick up the pieces and get their lives back to normal. This is where a disaster restoration company like PuroClean comes in – they are specialists who use their extensive expertise to help their neighbors bounce back from unimaginable circumstances. 

If you want to help your community in this way and want to open your own restoration franchise, then look no further than PuroClean! As one of the most trusted brands in the property damage restoration industry, PuroClean and its Franchise Owners help their neighbors get back on their feet across North America and Canada every single day. 

What Does a Remediation Company Do?  

There are many scenarios in which a disaster restoration company like PuroClean can help commercial or residential property owners restore a sense of normalcy in their lives. Their work might involve addressing and resolving environmental contamination on a property, including removing hazardous materials like asbestos, lead, mold, or chemicals. It might also involve repairing structural damage caused by a flood, storm, or fire.  

This work is complex and time-consuming. It requires specialized knowledge and proficiency with industry-specific equipment. Owning a restoration business means you must be well-informed about the latest trends and techniques in the damage remediation and restoration industry.  

When you become a PuroClean Franchise Owner, we provide intensive training before you even open your doors at our state-of-the-art PuroClean Academy in Florida. Plus, we offer online on-demand training courses so you can continue to upgrade your skills. You’ll also have access to our network of Home Office support team members and fellow fire and water restoration Franchise Owners who are eager to answer your questions and share their industry expertise! 

A Growing Industry 

Even a cursory look at restoration industry statistics shows that it’s a massive industry that will only continue to grow. In fact, it’s currently estimated to be worth $210 billion, and that figure is expected to rise as natural disasters increase in intensity and frequency. The restoration industry is also recession-resistant, since floods and fires still happen no matter what’s happening in the rest of the economy.  

When it comes to storm damage restoration, those numbers alone are astounding. According to Restoration & Remediation magazine, flood and water remediation is worth more than $80 million on its own — about 40% of the total remediation market — and it was expected to grow 6.8% per year between 2020 and 2025. The potential for flooding due to aging water infrastructure in municipalities across the United States means the industry could see even greater growth than forecasted.
