No one can argue that 2020 was a difficult year, and most of us are more than ready to put it behind us. That said, the COVID-19 pandemic allowed many in our industry to rise to challenges and grow in the process — and the PuroClean franchise team did just that! We saw our franchise owners work hard to meet their communities’ needs in commendable and important ways, as our suite of services grew to include COVID disinfection and mitigation. Here, we’ll look briefly at some of the trends we see in our industry and where the PuroClean franchise brand fits in.
COVID Has Changed the Face of the Industry
Life may be slowly returning to normal, but it’s still a “new” normal for sure, one that has changed the expectations of millions of Americans. Post-COVID, most people are no longer content to assume an environment or a surface is simply clean; they’ll need reassurance that it has been sanitized at the least, and depending on the situation, disinfected and decontaminated.
Fortunately, PuroClean franchise owners are experts at that, and when you join our franchise opportunity, you will be, too! You’ll use EPA-registered products to deep clean public areas and help stop the spread of viruses and pathogen-based illnesses, such as the flu and COVID-19. Our products and services provide up to three months of protection that prevents contamination and minimizes risk, allowing your clients true peace of mind.
Nature Will Still Be a Factor
According to the National Centers for Environmental Information, 2020 was the sixth year in a row in which the U.S. had seen 10 or more $1B weather-related disasters. Weather events for the year included:
- Hurricanes
- Tropical storms (record high)
- Tropical depressions (tied for record)
- Wildfires in at least 8 states
- Drought
- Tornado outbreaks
Severe weather and natural disasters will always be a part of life, which means addressing the damage they can cause will always be a part of the PuroClean suite of services. From overflowing bathtubs to floods and fires, our experts will be on hand to help property owners get back to life as normal and feel good again about their home or business.
We Will Always Be the “Paramedics of Property Damage”

Our deep knowledge of the property damage restoration industry, coupled with our respected and recognized brand name, mean converting your business to a PuroClean franchise will get you advantages you simply won’t have otherwise. If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that nothing stays the same; there will always be challenges and uncertainties, so why go it alone? Instead, join the “Paramedics of Property Damage” and enjoy the security of being part of something bigger than yourself!
