Buy a BIOSWEEP Franchise

BIOSWEEP is a mobile odor-removal and decontamination franchise that permanently eliminates odors, bacteria, viruses and contaminants from homes, vehicles and commercial spaces without harsh chemicals. The service is built around a proprietary five-phase process, branded Phocatox, that combines HEPA filtration, hydroxyl radicals, ozone and vaporized hydrogen peroxide, oxyradical plasma and germicidal UVC light in one portable unit.

Franchisees serve property managers, multifamily housing, real estate professionals, home inspectors, auto dealerships, hotels, restaurants, schools, medical offices and restoration contractors. Typical jobs include cigarette smoke, pet urine, fire and water damage, mold, sewage backup and biohazard or trauma cleanup. The model is mobile and can run stand-alone or as an add-on to an existing cleaning, restoration, home-inspection or auto-detailing business.

BIOSWEEP is offered by Phocatox Technologies LLC, a privately owned US technology and device manufacturer based near Indianapolis, with offices in Houston and Charlotte. The franchisor manufactures the equipment itself and grants protected geographic and vertical-market territories across North America. BIOSWEEP has franchised since 2009.

Why buy a BIOSWEEP Franchise?

Buying a BIOSWEEP franchise gives an owner a differentiated, equipment-led service in a market where most competitors mask odors rather than remove them permanently. The proprietary Phocatox technology is manufactured in-house and not available elsewhere, giving franchisees a genuine point of difference when pitching property managers, restoration contractors and dealerships.

The mobile model keeps overhead low: there is no retail premises to maintain, a single operator can run the business at launch, and technicians can be added as demand grows. Protected territories cover both geography and vertical markets, and a National Accounts Program opens access to larger multi-site clients. Because the service applies across so many sectors, owners can build recurring B2B relationships rather than relying on one-off residential jobs.

BIOSWEEP – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    All new franchisees complete an orientation and field-training and certification session, delivered in person at the owner's own location before operations begin and covering operational methods, treatment scenarios, health and safety, technical data, and sales and marketing. Franchisees receive an operations manual, marketing materials and forms, ongoing field support, and best practices shared across the franchisee network, and a National Accounts Program supports larger multi-site work. Resale buyers should confirm with BIOSWEEP what initial training and certification transfers to incoming owners and any technician hires.

  2. Ideal Owner

    BIOSWEEP suits a hands-on, sales-oriented operator comfortable working in the field and building B2B relationships with property managers, real estate agents, restoration contractors and dealerships. Prior cleaning or restoration experience is helpful but not required, since the franchisor provides technical training and certification. The model also fits owners of existing cleaning, restoration or auto-detailing businesses adding a decontamination service line. Owners should be self-directed, organized in scheduling jobs and equipment, and confident selling a premium, technology-led service.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    BIOSWEEP has built recognition through its proprietary Phocatox technology, manufactured in-house by Phocatox Technologies and positioned as exceeding indoor-air-quality remediation benchmarks. The brand has franchised since 2009 and runs a service-provider network across the United States, Canada and international markets, and is profiled on franchise-research platforms such as Vetted Biz and FranchiseOpportunities.com. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, referral sources and visibility among property managers and restoration contractors.

  4. Industry / Market

    BIOSWEEP operates within the US damage restoration and remediation sector, which IBISWorld counts at roughly 60,000 businesses and which grew at about a 4.2% annual rate between 2020 and 2025. Demand is driven by fire, water and mold events, real estate and rental turnover, and heightened attention to indoor air quality and infection control since the pandemic. Odor removal and decontamination are recurring needs across housing, automotive, hospitality and healthcare. For resale buyers, local restoration activity and the strength of existing referral relationships shape a territory's revenue stability.
