This year, commercial property losses are forecasted to exceed $140 billion globally, mainly due to tropical storms, wildfires, and flooding. These natural disasters and everyday property damage incidents are why restoration franchises are some of the most profitable businesses.
With solid roots in residential restoration, PuroClean has expanded commercial restoration services over the past few years. By providing our Franchise Owners special training and guidance in this field, we can help them excel at large loss projects, restore peace of mind to business owners, and reap lucrative benefits.
Commercial Restoration Growth Opportunities
In the years after the COVID-19 pandemic, PuroClean noticed a sharp rise in demand for commercial damage restoration services. This trend prompted the company to further explore the commercial side of the industry, according to George Hernandez, Senior Vice President of Operations, Commercial Large Loss/Signal Restoration.
“Providing commercial restoration exposes our franchise system to a portion of the marketplace that offers an opportunity for exponential revenue opportunities and growth,” Hernandez said.
In fact, one of PuroClean’s Franchise Owners recently completed the largest single restoration project in the network at more than $7 million.
“PuroClean’s vision to be the premier restoration franchise system in the U.S. includes the brand providing restoration services to both residential and commercial customers,” he said.
PuroClean’s Commercial Certifications and Training
To ensure PuroClean Franchise Owners are expertly qualified for commercial work, we offer Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) courses, including Water Restoration Technician (WRT), Applied Structural Drying (ASD), and Commercial Drying Specialist (CDS). These classes—hosted biannually at our headquarters—teach a systematic approach to the drying process and help Franchise Owners comprehend commercial finishes and building envelopes.
PuroClean has also teamed up with International Drying Systems and HW3 Group, LLC, to develop continuing education and advanced training focused on commercial property restoration. These classes help professionals build confidence and succeed in the commercial workspace.
Most recently, PuroClean and HW3 Group, LLC, hosted the first commercial sales class to educate Franchise Owners about the various departments a team may encounter within a commercial property. The goal of this class is to highlight the unique needs at each level of a business and equip our network with the knowledge to market services across the sector.
PuroClean’s Commercial Specialty Teams
For expertise in commercial restoration, PuroClean Franchise Owners turn to our Large Loss and Catastrophe Operations team. With more than 100 years of combined experience, this group has completed more than 1,000 large-loss restoration projects. Our specialty team can mobilize technicians from over 300 offices across North America to respond to disasters and restore businesses to full operation.
PuroClean also has a National Response Team, an elite group of franchise operators that delivers mitigation and restoration services for clients with properties across the country. This team works directly with the PuroClean network to coordinate swift responses to large-scale commercial property incidents involving water, fire, mold, and biohazard cleanup caused by natural disasters or mechanical failures.
PuroClean’s Commercial Emergency Management Plan
In the commercial restoration space, there is a growing demand for trusted vendors offering expert guidance to clients navigating recovery after property damage. PuroClean is committed to being that dependable partner by encouraging and supporting the development of an Emergency Management Plan tailored to each client’s property.
Before disaster strikes, PuroClean conducts a comprehensive assessment of the client’s facility. This evaluation helps us gain a deep understanding of the operation and plan for the appropriate emergency response. Then, when the client contacts our 24/7/365 Call Center during a crisis, we can jump into action with guidance from the protocols outlined in their Emergency Management Plan (EMP) to get the business back to normal as soon as possible.
