Invest in a recession-resistant franchise with essential services, steady demand, and unmatched support

Since 2008, United Water Restoration Group (UWRG) has helped thousands of home and business owners restore properties to pre-loss condition. Through a commitment to excellence and a focus on personal attention, clients’ expectations are exceeded every time, without exception. Today, with a philosophy of hiring the best staff to provide professional restoration services, UWRG has grown to more than 80 locations and maintains a level of customer service rarely seen in the industry. Although UWRG assists those experiencing disasters, this growing, recession-proof industry is also supported by fundamental infrastructure issues like aging systems and reconstruction. The scope of the industry is large: water damage alone accounts for the second most filed type of insurance claim in the U.S., with 14,000 Americans experiencing water damage every day. As economic losses continue to occur, additional company growth and new location development are in UWRG’s sights. With this high demand for restoration services, now is the perfect time to become part of this growing market as an independent restoration franchise owner.

Founded in Florida during the recession, UWRG knows that regardless of what is happening with the economy, pipes still burst, mold still grows and natural disasters still strike. Helping people recover their most valuable assets and get back to normal life after a disaster is an essential community service, and UWRG has been a dominant force in the restoration industry for over 15 years. 

With UWRG, prospective franchisees have the opportunity to be a part of a scalable, recession-resistant business at a low cost of entry. 

UWRG’s dedicated focus on its customers sets it apart from the competition. The brand has a deeply embedded customer-first culture that is intentionally spread throughout the organization at all levels. UWRG also prides itself on its level of responsiveness. Help is available 24/7, 365 days a year. No matter the time of day or night, someone will be on call with a fully stocked van ready to go. From the minute a call is received, a team will be assembled within 15 minutes, and an operation manager will be onsite within the hour.  

Water damage continues to be one of the most common and costly disasters facing property owners in the U.S.:

Over 14,000 people experience water damage every single day.

Water leaks, frozen pipes, and related issues cost American homeowners and businesses more than $11 billion annually.

More than 35% of U.S. homeowners have reported losses due to water-related damage.

And it’s not just water. Fire-related disasters also remain a major threat:

A structure fire occurs every 88 seconds in the United States.

A fire department is dispatched to respond to a fire every 21 seconds, including home, vehicle, and wildfires.

In 2023, fire damage caused over $13.5 billion in property losses across the country.

UWRG not only offers a recession-resistant, essential service – it requires a low initial
investment and operates on a lean, simple business model, all while simultaneously drawing high revenues and margins from its multiple revenue streams!

Every city in the U.S. experiences water, fire, mold or structural damage, so UWRG owners can thrive anywhere. UWRG is looking for motivated, empathetic franchisees who are looking to provide outstanding customer service in their communities. 

Franchisees do not necessarily need experience in restoration or have a home-services background. UWRG owners should have skills such as sales, management, business development and leadership.
 

The total initial investment to open a UWRG franchise ranges from $300,000 - $700,000. For more information on franchising, visit https://uwrgfranchise.com/investment-opportunities/.
