Whether in a basement, an attic, or a bathroom, the last thing property owners want to see are those little black flecks that indicate they’ve got mold. They may be tiny spores, but they can cause big headaches for people and pets alike, so they’ll want to get started on black mold remediation as soon as they spot them.
Even if the affected area is small, residential and commercial property owners should call a property restoration company with black mold remediation specialists, like PuroClean.
At PuroClean, our proficiency with the latest mold removal techniques and technology should make us the first call when mold is spotted. And, if you think you might like to get into the mold remediation industry, we offer Franchise Owners a whole slew of benefits!
Mold is prevalent in homes across the country, which means there are ample opportunities for remediation companies to earn property owners’ business. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, as many as 47% of residential buildings in the United States have visible mold or mold odor. That means more than 45 million homes nationwide could have unhealthy levels of mold requiring professional remediation. Those opportunities are only expected to grow as residential and commercial buildings age. As a PuroClean Franchise Owner, the power of our national brand will help you stand out when compared to other remediation companies in your market.
An average case of mold would bring in around $2,350 in gross revenue for a remediation company, but that figure could reach more than $10,000 if the affected area is large. According to Appraisal Journal, mold issues can cause home resale values to drop anywhere from 20% to 37%. If property owners invest in PuroClean for professional remediation, it could pay off in spades down the road, making this a high-demand service for Franchise Owners.
The Effects of Black Mold
“Black mold” is a general term you’ll hear used for several types of mold that have a dark color. These molds are among the most common ones you’ll encounter in both homes and businesses. You’ll typically find them growing in warm, damp areas that contain cellulose—a material found in things like paper, wood, and drywall. If your property has experienced flood damage, mold can start growing in as little as 48 hours. At PuroClean, you’ll be equipped with everything you need to respond quickly to mold and flood situations, helping you minimize damage and protect health.
When black mold is found, a property owner’s first call should be to a professional mold remediation franchise. With our extensive and ongoing training, PuroClean’s Franchise Owners and biohazard cleanup technicians have a mastery of the latest black mold remediation technologies and processes, and they’re required to obtain Mold Remediation Specialist certification from the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). PuroClean Franchise Owners are given the knowledge and the tools to determine how extensive the mold growth is and if it has spread to other areas.
Getting Into the Black Mold Remediation Industry
Opening your own mold removal franchise with PuroClean not only means being your own boss and starting down a path to financial independence, but also gives you the chance to help your community in a time of crisis. You’ll be able to give your friends and neighbors peace of mind as you help them get their lives back to normal. This sense of service is why property restoration is a great career choice for military veterans and former first responders. PuroClean even offers military veterans a discount on the initial franchise fee through the PuroVet program.
The restoration industry as a whole was estimated to be worth about $210 billion in 2024, and that number is projected to continue to grow in the future as climate change causes weather-related disasters to increase in severity and frequency. These disasters happen no matter how the economy is doing, making property restoration a very recession-resistant industry.
