ABOUT DRYMEDIC RESTORATION

DRYmedic Restoration was founded in 1992 to provide responsive, dependable restoration services to homes and businesses. The brand focuses on helping people recover from water, fire, and mold damage, as well as storm-related issues, asbestos removal, and reconstruction. Acquired by Authority Brands in late 2022, DRYmedic has leveraged 30+ years of industry experience to transition from a successful restoration business into a growing national franchise system built on professionalism, trust, and customer care.

DRYmedic offers candidates the chance to join a rapidly expanding franchise system backed by one of the strongest home-service platforms in the U.S. Early owners benefit from significant territory availability nationwide, including priority markets, and a first-100 growth window to help shape systems and best practices.The category continues to expand as climate events, aging infrastructure, and mold awareness increase demand. DRYmedic’s timing, foundation, and support make this a strong moment for new operators.

Restoration services remain essential regardless of economic conditions, driven by weather events, infrastructure issues, and insurance-related repairs. Homeowners and businesses must address property damage quickly, creating steady demand and recession-resistant revenue. The global restoration market is projected to grow from $42.93 billion in 2025 to $55.53 billion by 2030. The combination of necessity, insurance participation, and multiple service lines makes restoration one of the most durable home-service categories.

The brand blends full-service restoration capabilities with a technology-forward approach, including a leading-edge job management platform and ongoing investment in AI tools. Unlike independent operators, DRYmedic franchise owners benefit from proven systems, structured processes, and ongoing support. From hands-on onboarding with real equipment to tailored training, marketing resources, and business development guidance, DRYmedic removes the guesswork and accelerates growth.

DRYmedic offers unmatched market potential compared to legacy competitors. With multiple revenue streams, a clear investment structure, and a customer-focused service model, the brand is positioned to lead in the restoration industry. 

The ideal candidate is a hands-on operator who values community impact, follows structured systems, and is ready to lead a team. Prior restoration experience is not required, but organizational skills, responsiveness, and people leadership matter. DRYmedic evaluates each owner’s strengths in sales, marketing, or operations and helps build a complementary team around those skills. The brand has seen strong engagement from entrepreneurs transitioning from other careers, as well as veterans and women- and minority-owned groups using available incentives.

DRYmedic Restoration Services has been ranked as a top franchise on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500, earned a place on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, and was named a 2025 Game Changer by Franchise Dictionary Magazine. These honors underscore the strength of the brand’s business model and reflect the momentum DRYmedic is building as it continues expanding in the restoration sector.
