BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. — DRYmedic Restoration, the residential and commercial restoration franchise specializing in water, fire, and mold remediation, closed out 2025 with strong development momentum and a clear vision for further expansion in 2026.
Over the past year, DRYmedic signed 16 franchise deals and awarded 25 territories, expanding its footprint across key markets nationwide. New and expanded territories in 2025 included San Diego, CA; Wheat Ridge, CO; Waterbury, CT; Atlanta, GA; Orland Park and Schaumburg, IL; Dallas, Cypress, Melissa, San Antonio, and Austin, TX; Charleston, SC; Fort Myers and Naples, FL; and Noblesville, IN.
“2025 was a pivotal year for DRYmedic,” said Brand President Carlos Hesano. “We saw sustained demand from new franchisees seeking a restoration brand that combines strong unit-level support with a scalable, service-first model. The growth that we experienced as a system last year has set the stage for us to accomplish even more franchisee expansion and new development this year.”
DRYmedic earned several notable industry accolades in 2025. Highlights include being named a 2025 Game Changer by Franchise Dictionary Magazine, earning a spot on Entrepreneur’s 2025 Top Fastest-Growing Franchises, debuting in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500, and being recognized as one of FranServe’s 2025 FRAN-TASTIC Brands.
“These awards validate the incredible work our team and franchise owners are doing each day,” Hesano said. “They don’t just reflect growth. They showcase the quality of our systems, our culture, and our commitment to helping franchisees build businesses that are strong and resilient.”
In 2026, DRYmedic is targeting strategic growth in several high-opportunity markets while continuing to build density in key regions. The brand’s top development markets include Atlanta, GA; Indianapolis, IN; Minneapolis, MN; Nashville, TN; New York City, NY; Salt Lake City, UT; San Antonio, TX; Washington, D.C.; and Pensacola and Miami, FL.
“Our focus in 2026 is on intentional expansion,” Hesano said. “We’re identifying markets as priorities where our franchise owners can benefit from brand awareness, operational efficiencies, and long-term demand for essential restoration services. Because this isn’t just about growth for growth’s sake. It’s about building a network of successful owners.”
As DRYmedic enters the new year, the brand plans to continue investing in franchisee training, operational support, and technology enhancements designed to help owners scale while maintaining service excellence.
“We believe restoration is a relationship-driven business,” Hesano said. “As we grow, our vision remains the same: empower our franchise owners, support our communities, and deliver reliable, high-quality restoration services when people need them most.”
