FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a SERVPRO Franchise

SERVPRO is a cleanup and restoration franchise serving residential and commercial customers across the United States and Canada. Franchisees handle fire, water, storm and mold damage, along with reconstruction, biohazard work and specialty cleaning. Much of the work is insurance-funded, with jobs flowing from insurers, property managers, healthcare and educational facilities, and homeowners dealing with sudden property damage.

Founded in 1967 and originally a painting business, SERVPRO has grown into a network of more than 2,400 franchises and is widely regarded as the leading brand in its category. The company operates from a headquarters in Gallatin, Tennessee, supported by a corporate team of over 450 people. In 2019 Blackstone acquired a majority stake through its long-hold private equity strategy, giving the system substantial financial backing.

Each franchise runs from a warehouse or office within a defined territory rather than a retail storefront, dispatching branded crews and equipment to job sites. The model combines emergency restoration with planned reconstruction and routine cleaning, giving owners several connected service lines built on a recognised national brand and established insurer relationships.

Why buy a SERVPRO Franchise?

SERVPRO is the best-known name in a recession-resistant category where demand is driven by emergencies rather than discretionary spending, so the work continues across economic cycles. For a buyer, that brand recognition translates into easier conversations with insurers, adjusters and commercial clients than an independent operator could expect to build alone.

Choosing to buy a SERVPRO franchise also means inheriting the system’s insurer relationships and preferred-vendor status, national account programs and a marketing fund that keeps the brand visible through TV, sponsorships and digital advertising. The multiple service lines of emergency mitigation, reconstruction and cleaning give owners more than one route to revenue within a single territory, and the model scales as crews and equipment are added.

SERVPRO – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    SERVPRO trains incoming owners through a five-step Business Development Program built around the 15-day New Franchise Training Program (NFTP) at its Gallatin, Tennessee headquarters, combining online and classroom learning with hands-on work and IICRC water-restoration certification. Ongoing support runs through regional Franchise Business Consultants, e-learning modules on the SERVPRO intranet, an annual convention and a 450-strong HQ team. Buyers of an existing SERVPRO unit should confirm what transfer training and NFTP access the franchisor provides to incoming ownership and any retained staff.

  2. Ideal Owner

    SERVPRO suits hands-on local operators who can build and lead production crews, manage scheduling across simultaneous jobs and develop relationships with insurers, adjusters, property managers and first responders who refer work. It is a sales- and operations-led business rather than a hands-off investment; restoration or construction experience helps but is not required. Backgrounds in sales, management, construction, property services or insurance fit well, as does the discipline to follow a defined operating system and respond quickly to emergency callouts.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    SERVPRO has ranked #1 in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 restoration-services category for 23 consecutive years and placed in the list's top 12 overall in 2026, when it was again named one of the fastest-growing franchises. It has also appeared on the Inc. 5000 list of fast-growing US companies, and its services follow IICRC industry standards. For resale buyers, this brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, online reviews and referral relationships.

  4. Industry / Market

    SERVPRO operates in the US restoration and remediation market, valued at roughly $22 billion in 2024 and projected to grow at about a 6% annual rate through the end of the decade. Demand is driven by severe-weather events, aging housing stock and the steady volume of insurance-funded water, fire and mold claims, making the category largely non-discretionary and resilient across economic cycles. For resale buyers, local demand often tracks regional weather patterns and the strength of a unit's referral ties to insurers.
