Mold Medics Offers the Solution in a High-Demand Mold Treatment Market

The mold treatment industry is largely controlled by the willingness of insurance companies to provide coverage, which too often leaves a major gap between the treatment clients receive and the quality service they need. Mold Medics, the home allergen specialist franchise, has set out to ensure that consumers are not simply getting by when it comes to an essential service.

“It’s time for the country to discover a new standard in mold treatment and prevention,” said Tim Swackhammer, CEO of Mold Medics.

The brand provides mold remediation and removal treatments on a wide range of property types as well as air quality services. From air duct cleaning to air quality testing, Mold Medics adheres to its commitment to providing solutions for homeowners with virtually all mold-related concerns, focusing on environmental quality above insurance-mandated corner cutting. 

“A mission of Mold Medics is to get in early and prevent any successive issues for years to come. We have found that our industry is highly fragmented, and there isn’t anyone who shares our missions of truly improving quality,” Swackhammer said. “We want all of our clients to know that good enough for an insurance company is not good enough for our customers.”

The brand is quickly establishing itself in a highly fragmented industry, according to Swackhammer. “Our mission is currently unmatched in the industry with nobody else committed to our goal of improving long-term quality, which is why we decided to franchise in this industry in the first place,” he said.

The target demographics of Mold Medics’ consumers are homeowners with a vested interest in health and wellness and a developed understanding for the long-term effects of thorough home allergen treatment. The brand is geared for a wide range of home sizes, and while it isn’t closed off to one specific demographic, Mold Medics is equipped to handle even the most lavish and expansive properties.

As Mold Medics anticipates continued expansion, its target markets for growth are within a six- to eight-hour drive from Pittsburgh, where the brand is currently established. Swackhammer is both the CEO and an actual franchisee with the brand, covering the greater Pittsburgh market alongside Michael Chapman, a separate franchise owner who has helped make sustained expansion a reality.

“I was able to take on clients just a few weeks after opening for business,” Chapman said. A low-overhead investment has enabled franchisees to establish themselves in a quick time frame, and without traditional staffing limitations or hurdles that come with a brick-and-mortar franchise unit.

This has allowed Mold Medics to anticipate continued expansion. The brand has been tailored for a wide range of prospective franchisees, whether they hold blue-collar or white-collar backgrounds. 

“This brand is equipped to train all sorts of people for the duties of a Mold Medics franchisee, and it’s helped us prove the brand quickly and effectively,” Chapman added.

While Mold Medics furthers its ongoing outreach in Pittsburgh, the brand looks toward neighboring markets with at least 300,000 residents. Mold Medics is prepared for immediate franchising opportunities in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Harrisburg and Philadelphia, with a mission for continued growth beyond its immediate regional expansion.

Mold Medics has a goal to obtain 10 franchise agreements by the start of 2022, and 50 by the end of 2025. “Our model has already proven itself to be projectable,” Swackhammer said. “And we are able to fit the needs and expectations of clients that demand the most thorough mold treatment they can find. This insistence is something we believe will help us grow at a quick pace.”

To further the brand’s reach, Mold Medics has begun marketing radon testing and mitigation in addition to its other services. Mold Medics has worked with referral partners and realtors to share information about the brand’s treatment options and to acquire additional business opportunities from both new and existing homeowners. 

“Radon testing is almost exclusively tied to a real estate transaction,” Swackhammer said. “It’s the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the country behind smoking, and if we’re to provide a comprehensive service, it’s essential that we set a radon plan in motion.”

As Mold Medics furthers its commitment to consumer satisfaction, the brand has taken on a multifaceted approach that is far from limited to standard mold treatment. Consumers throughout Pittsburgh are quickly proving the franchise model, and despite the ‘good enough’ mentality adopted by many insurance companies, a wide range of Mold Medics clients are adopting a new standard in home allergen service.
