A $210 Billion Industry That Grows No Matter What the Economy Does

The property restoration industry generates over $210 billion in annual revenue and is considered one of the most recession-resistant sectors in home services. Water damage, fire damage, mold emergencies, and storm damage occur regardless of economic conditions — and insurance companies, not homeowners, pay the bill.

49,500+ Monthly Searches

For ‘water damage restoration’ alone — just one of nine service lines your franchise will offer.

14,000+ Daily Insurance Claims

Water damage insurance claims filed every day in the United States — each one a potential job for your franchise.

$83K Average Fire Claim

Fire damage produces high-revenue, high-urgency jobs. One of nine service lines available in your protected territory.

Climate-Driven Demand

Increasing storm severity, wildfire frequency, and flash flooding across every major market means growing demand for restoration services.

Insurance-Funded Revenue

The majority of restoration revenue is paid by insurance companies — not out-of-pocket by customers. Your income isn’t tied to discretionary spending.

Low Local Competition

Restoration is a contractor-shortage industry. Qualified, branded operators face minimal local competition in most markets.

From Day One to Year Ten:
How 911 Restoration Trains and Supports You

911 Restoration provides a complete training and support system designed to take franchisees from initial onboarding to sustained market leadership — no prior restoration experience required.

01

What Does Initial Franchise Training Cover?

New franchisees complete a structured two-phase program. Phase 1 is virtual: water damage mitigation, fire and smoke restoration, mold remediation, sewage cleanup, insurance estimating, and business fundamentals. Phase 2 is hands-on field training: equipment use, job-site protocols, crew management, and customer communication. Training typically spans the first two to four weeks.

02

What Marketing Support Does 911 Restoration Provide?

911 Restoration manages national and local digital marketing on behalf of its franchise network. This includes a professionally maintained franchise website, Google Business Profile management, placement across hundreds of online directories, paid search campaign support, social media content, and national brand advertising across TV, radio, and digital platforms.

03

What Ongoing Coaching and Support Is Available?

Every franchisee has direct access to the brand’s headquarters support team for operational, marketing, and technical guidance. You receive regular one-on-one coaching calls, performance reviews, and strategic guidance for scaling your operations. A peer network of fellow branch owners provides real-world experience sharing across the system.

04

What Technology Platform Do Franchisees Use?

911 Restoration provides franchisees with a restoration-industry CRM, job estimating software, project management tools, and insurance documentation support. These systems are designed specifically for multi-service restoration operations and reduce administrative overhead so owners can focus on growth.

Six Reasons 911 Restoration Wins

Lowest Investment in the Industry

With a total startup investment starting at $161,400 and a $49,000 franchise fee, 911 Restoration sits well below SERVPRO ($258K minimum) and Paul Davis ($285K minimum) — giving qualified owners a faster, more accessible path to ownership.

Full Transparent Revenue Data

We publish our FDD Item 19 data because we’re proud of it. Average annual revenue of $1.9M after 2 years, $4.3M after 4 years, and $6.4M after 7 years. SERVPRO refuses to publish this data. We don’t hide ours.

Protected Territories with a Hard Cap

Each territory covers approximately 300,000 in population and is exclusively yours. With a planned cap of under 500 branches nationwide, your territory has long-term scarcity value that SERVPRO’s 2,300+ overlapping territories can never match.

Nine Revenue Streams, One Territory

Water damage, fire damage, mold removal, sewage cleanup, commercial restoration, storm damage, reconstruction, crime scene cleanup, and sanitization. Nine service lines means nine reasons for a customer to call you.

No Experience Required

911 Restoration provides comprehensive training in technical skills, estimating, insurance navigation, business operations, and customer service. You don’t need a construction background. You need drive, capital, and the right market.

35% Veteran Discount on Franchise Fee

Active military veterans receive a 35% discount on the franchise fee through VetFran — one of the most generous veteran incentive programs in home services franchising.

  3. 3

    Review the FDD

    You will receive the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) — the full legal and financial profile of the 911 Restoration franchise system, including Item 19 revenue data. You have 14 days to review it with your attorney and accountant.

  4. 4

Available Markets

Water Damage & Restoration Franchise Opportunities Territories Still Available Nationwide

911 Restoration has made a deliberate decision to cap its national network at under 500 branches. With over 284 territories currently awarded, the window to secure a protected market is narrowing.

Why the 500-Branch Cap Matters

Most national restoration franchises have no cap on territory issuance. SERVPRO operates 2,300+ locations with non-exclusive territories. 911 Restoration’s planned scarcity model means your territory maintains long-term value, local market authority, and brand exclusivity as the network matures.
