PuroClean Looks to Claim Bostons $455 Million in Annual Water & Fire Damage

(Franchise Buy) - By Holli. Updated Mar 17, 2017

BOSTON—With only one franchisee currently serving the $455 million in direct water and fire mitigated losses each year in Boston, PuroClean has announced plans to add four new franchises in the market to support the enormous volume of claims.

PuroClean—one of the nation’s fastest growing property restoration franchises—is flying a team of company executives into the state for a special mission on March 30. At the mobile discovery day event, aspiring entrepreneurs interested in responding to this unprecedented demand have an exclusive chance to meet PuroClean’s CEO and Chairman Mark W. Davis and Vermont-based franchise owner Darrel Depot. Davis, who took the reins of PuroClean in 2015, will be bringing with him two decades of experience in restoration.

The event will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn Waltham at 450 Totten Pond Rd. in Waltham. The first session will take place at 10 a.m., while the second will be at 1 p.m.

“Our franchisees must be quick to respond to the needs of local home and business owners, just as we must be quick to see the demand for our services in markets like Boston,” Davis said. “The numbers clearly indicate the Boston community would benefit from the PuroClean services and offerings. Because of this, we’re seeking individuals who are concerned when they hear that Boston has 80 water damage claims and 18 fire damage claims a day. PuroClean will fill Boston’s void in restoration services.”

PuroClean is concentrating on developing a few select markets nationwide where demand for restoration services is high. PuroClean has more than 230 locations in its franchise network and projects to add nearly 60 new franchise offices this year. 

Davis noted that while many people associate cleanup and restoration with large-scale natural disasters, a significant share of service calls stem from common household and business mishaps – such as overflowing washing machines; freezing, bursting or leaking pipes; mold growth that ensues after a water loss; and kitchen fires. Water damage is the second most frequently filed insurance claim in the United States, with more than 14,000 people experiencing a water damage emergency at home or work each day, according to the American Insurance Association. In fact, the restoration industry is $188 billion strong.

Each year, PuroClean performs thousands of jobs throughout North America, providing restoration services from common household mishaps to large scale disasters.
