THE TAILWINDS ACCELERATING RESTORATION DEMAND
Billion-Dollar Disaster Frequency
The U.S. averaged 9 billion-dollar weather disasters per year from 1980 to 2024. In the most recent 5-year period, that average jumped to 23 events per year; more than 2.5x the historical norm. In 2024 alone, there were 27, totaling $182.7 billion. The frequency of costly disasters creates an opportunity for property restoration experts to make a difference in their communities.

A Growing Restoration & Remediation Market
The U.S. property restoration and remediation market was valued at approximately $22.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $31.5 billion by 2030, growing at a 6.4% CAGR. With steady growth anticipated, restoration franchise owners are positioned to benefit from non-discretionary demand in the insurance-backed property restoration industry.

The majority of independent restoration business owners are approaching retirement age, creating an unusual window for franchise conversions and territory acquisitions at below-market entry costs. Only 7% of these retiree restoration business owners pass their businesses to family; the remaining 70%+ sell to outside buyers, investors, or employees. The baby boomer exit wave is creating a gap in the market that driven restoration entrepreneurs can take advantage of.

Essential Services. Enduring Demand.
Water damage doesn’t care about interest rates, mold doesn’t pause for downturns, and storm damage happens on its own schedule. Property owners need trusted, certified restoration professionals when disaster strikes. That’s the structural advantage of owning a DRYmedic restoration franchise.
Operate a franchise in an industry where demand is recurring, insurance-backed, and spread across residential and commercial properties in every market. With aging housing stock, more frequent climate-driven weather events, and independent restoration operators approaching retirement according to industry data, this year presents a compelling entry point for franchise owners to secure territory and meet demand across multiple service lines.
