We strongly recommend Franchise Owners work from a warehouse location with enough room to store equipment and vehicles, and have a small working office (approximately 1,000 – 3,000 square feet). Franchise Owners are able to work out of their homes when first starting their business, but should have a plan in place for growth into a dedicated office space.

This is another of the most important questions to ask when buying a franchise. PuroVet is a program PuroClean created that operated year-round with dedicated support programs for veterans operating in its franchise system The PuroVet program offers veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces with a DD214 a discounted rate of 25% off the initial franchise fee – a savings of $12,500. Thank you to ALL that have served our nation.

Remediation companies like PuroClean help people overcome the setbacks caused by water, fire, mold and other conditions resulting in property damage. Specifically, PuroClean’s fire and water restoration franchise technicians provide water damage remediation, mold removal and biohazard cleanup by employing the newest mitigation technology and procedures while following a strict code of ethics. PuroClean offices are independently owned and operated.

Many successful PuroClean Franchise Owners come from diverse backgrounds outside of the cleaning and restoration industry, so while previous experience is beneficial, it is not required. PuroClean provides comprehensive training and support, including technical training in restoration processes and equipment usage, during three weeks of training at the PuroClean Academy in South Florida. Franchise Owners participate in hands-on training covering all the technical aspects of the business, and are also mentored on location by a current PuroClean Franchise Owner. Learn more about the full scope of PuroClean’s training and support.

No, storms do not actually make up the bulk of our business in this industry. PuroClean Franchise Owners are responding to emergencies right in their own communities for water lines breaking, a bathtub left running and dozens of everyday emergencies that occur in the home or office. You might not see the frequency of these events occurring, but one in 55 homes will. Through the relationships we teach you to build, you have a great business opportunity in the community you live in right now. Learn more about the industry and alternative revenue opportunities here.

As a PuroClean Franchise Owner, you will have access to both insurance and commercial accounts. We currently partner with some of the top insurance carriers across the nation. While you will have the opportunity to work with our partners on both the insurance and commercial side you must go through an internal vetting system that we call the certified priority response process. This will ensure that you are ready to tackle the work according to our partners’ guidelines. You will have a dedicated representative walking you through the process to ensure that you meet all the criteria and will be able to onboard your territories accurately.

PuroClean does not restrict the growth of any of franchise owners, and our network supports an open territory model. New franchise owners are provided with protected office locations of 100,000 in population where no new PuroClean offices will be opened. To further allow our franchise owners to develop and serve their communities, we add an additional HALO of 150,000 in population to expand each franchise owner’s reach.

These lines on the map are not walls. Rather, if an opportunity arises beyond your territory and you are qualified for the work, you will be able to take it!

An ideal PuroClean Franchise Owner is a growth oriented, general manager type who is good at building relationships. In the initial ramp up phase, the PuroClean Franchise Owner will be required to wear a variety of different hats – business development/marketing, project management, operations, customer service, and will even be “rolling up their sleeves” and doing some restoration work. However, we do not want Franchise Owners buying themselves a job to continue working in the business. As the business grows, Franchise Owners work less IN the business and more ON the business, ultimately managing a multi-vehicle, multi-technician team operation.

PuroClean provides an engaging and hands-on, two-week cleaning and restoration industry training course out of our home office for all new Franchise Owners. The PuroClean Academy is a $1.5 million state-of-the-art facility that also includes an IICRC certified flood house.

Not only will Franchise Owners receive industry training, but they will also receive training from our marketing team, operations and business development departments. You can read more about our training and schedule here.
