Frequently Asked Questions

The DRYmedic franchise is dedicated to providing restoration services to the communities we call home. Our commitment to our customers sets us apart from the competition. We have an industry-leading team of disaster and restoration professionals who have provided emergency response to water and flood damage, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation and more since 1992. As part of the DRYmedic franchisee, you’ll help home and business owners in your area move beyond crisis and disaster and quickly restore their property and peace of mind. Please see Item 1 of our current FDD for more information on the nature of DRYmedic.

In short, no! Though experience in restoration can certainly help, it’s definitely not a requirement in order to be successful. Our comprehensive training and support team will provide you with industry knowledge from industry professionals to help you be prepared to operate your business. We’ll even customize the training for you based on your level of knowledge and experience.

We’re people helping people – those in our communities and those within our own business. As such, we offer extensive training to help ensure that all our franchisees have the knowledge and skills they need to operate their franchise. Our training includes classroom instruction, hands-on field experience with experienced technicians and other franchisees, and online modules. Please see Item 11 of our current FDD for more information on the kind of training DRYmedic offers.

The amount of time it takes to ramp up your business will depend on a number of factors, including the size of your market, competition in the area, initial capital, and local regulations.
