Buy an United Water Restoration Group Franchise

United Water Restoration Group (UWRG) is a property damage restoration franchise founded in 2008 and franchising since 2015 from its headquarters in Ormond Beach, Florida. Franchisees provide water, fire and smoke, mold, flood, sewage and storm damage mitigation, alongside full-service reconstruction that returns residential and commercial properties to pre-loss condition.

The business is largely insurance-driven and built around 24/7 emergency response, giving owners several service lines and a mix of residential and commercial work. Much of the revenue flows through insurance claims and B2B referral relationships with adjusters, agents and property managers, so local relationship-building and rapid response sit at the centre of the model. Franchisees operate in protected territories.

UWRG has grown to more than 30 locations across the United States, with a corporate training center in Ormond Beach and a company-owned operation in Tampa. The brand positions itself as a lower-overhead, multi-service restoration operator, backed by a support team it describes as carrying around 60 years of combined industry experience.

Why buy an United Water Restoration Group Franchise?

Restoration is an essential, demand-led category that holds up well across economic cycles, since water, fire and mold damage occur regardless of the wider economy. To buy a United Water Restoration Group franchise is to enter that category with an established multi-service model spanning water, fire, mold and reconstruction work, giving owners several revenue lines rather than dependence on a single service.

The model runs on insurance-claim and B2B referral revenue, with corporate support for purchasing through approved suppliers and access to bookkeeping, estimating, job-production and billing software that helps owners control labour and inventory costs. The brand is veteran-friendly and emphasises protected territories, 24/7 field support and a relatively low-overhead operating structure.

United Water Restoration Group – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners receive 80 training hours at UWRG's Ormond Beach headquarters and training center plus 32 hours of hands-on training, with initial sessions also held at the company-owned Tampa location. Pre-training covers industry certifications and online accounting, estimating and job-production software. Ongoing support includes periodic field-support visits, refresher coaching, a confidential operations manual, approved-supplier purchasing, and marketing help such as an SEO website and vehicle wraps. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and software access carry over and which certifications existing staff hold.

  2. Ideal Owner

    UWRG suits hands-on local operators rather than passive investors. No prior restoration experience is required, but owners should be comfortable building B2B referral relationships with insurance adjusters, agents and property managers, and managing trained, certified field crews. The role is part sales and networking, part operations: dispatching 24/7 emergency jobs, overseeing quality and keeping projects on schedule. Customer empathy matters, since clients are often dealing with property damage at a stressful time. Candidates from construction, plumbing, roofing or insurance backgrounds may find the work familiar.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    United Water Restoration Group has been ranked in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 and named one of Franchise Business Review's Top 200 Franchises in 2026, a list driven largely by franchisee satisfaction. It has also been recognised as a leading restoration franchise by the IFPG and runs a veteran-friendly program with incentives for military buyers. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, online reviews, referral sources and standing with area insurers and adjusters.

  4. Industry / Market

    The U.S. property restoration and remediation industry is large and demand-led, supported by extreme weather events, aging plumbing and HVAC infrastructure, and a steady volume of property insurance claims. Water damage is among the most frequently filed U.S. home insurance claims, generating recurring emergency demand that is largely independent of economic conditions. For resale buyers, restoration revenue tends to be resilient, though individual unit performance depends heavily on local catastrophe activity, insurer and adjuster relationships, and how quickly a team responds to emergency calls within its territory.
