FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a DRYmedic Franchise

DRYmedic Restoration Services is a disaster restoration franchise covering water damage mitigation, fire and smoke restoration, mold remediation, contents cleaning, and reconstruction. Founded in 1992, the brand serves residential and commercial property owners in the aftermath of floods, fires, storms, and related damage events. DRYmedic is part of Authority Brands, a home services franchise platform with more than 15 brands and 1,000+ franchise owners across North America.

The franchise operates on a home-based or mobile model with protected territories. Franchisees can build out their service offering progressively, starting with core lines such as water damage and mold remediation before adding fire restoration, asbestos removal, and disaster reconstruction as the business scales.

Revenue is largely insurance-backed, and the model is built around B2B relationships with referral sources including insurance adjusters, property managers, and contractors. DRYmedic positions itself on response speed and claims navigation designed to reduce insurance-related friction for property owners.

Why buy a DRYmedic Franchise?

DRYmedic operates in a non-discretionary category where demand is driven by water emergencies, fire damage, mold events, and storms. The insurance-backed model makes revenue less dependent on consumer discretionary spending than most home services, supporting resilience across economic cycles. Authority Brands membership gives franchisees shared infrastructure, lead generation platforms, and cross-brand operational resources.

Buying a DRYmedic franchise offers entry into restoration with established systems and structured marketing support. The brand maintains digital partnerships with Google, Facebook, and Angi, supplementing B2B referral development with insurers and property managers. The home-based model avoids commercial lease overhead, and protected territories limit same-brand competition. DRYmedic ranks #247 on Entrepreneur’s 2026 Franchise 500 and #135 on the 2025 Fastest-Growing Franchises list.

DRYmedic – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training covers 48 hours of classroom instruction and 48 hours of hands-on field training across mitigation job types, spanning sales and marketing, operations, management, and financial processes. Ongoing support includes coaching for sales, marketing, and business leadership, plus industry-specific management software for scheduling, documentation, customer communication, and insurance-related workflows. Marketing support runs through platforms including Google, Facebook, and Angi. Resale buyers should confirm with DRYmedic what training and system access the franchisor provides to incoming owners at transfer.

  2. Ideal Owner

    DRYmedic suits a management-oriented owner comfortable building and leading a service team. Franchisees spend time cultivating B2B relationships with insurance adjusters, property managers, and contractors who generate referral volume, coaching technicians, and coordinating jobs across a territory. Prior restoration experience is not required; the training program covers operations and mitigation job types. A background in sales, operations, or team management is a strong foundation.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    DRYmedic ranks #247 on Entrepreneur's 2026 Franchise 500 and #135 on Entrepreneur's 2025 Fastest-Growing Franchises list. The brand holds FRANdata Verified Franchise Registry status for 2026 and is a member of the IFA's VetFran® and DiversityFran® programs. As part of Authority Brands, DRYmedic benefits from the credibility of a major home services franchise network with 15+ brands. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation and referral source relationships.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US property restoration and remediation market was valued at approximately $22.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $31.5 billion by 2030 at a 6.4% annual growth rate (Bainbridge, 2025). Demand is driven by water damage, mold events, fire, and storm activity. The category is considered non-discretionary since property owners and their insurers need restoration regardless of broader economic conditions. Aging housing stock and more frequent weather events continue to support underlying demand across residential and commercial properties.
