DRYmedic Franchise Model Overview

DRYMEDIC franchisees provide residential and commercial restoration: water extraction and drying, fire and smoke cleanup, mold remediation, contents cleaning and reconstruction after damage. The brand is the renamed Service Team of Professionals (STOP) system, now part of the Authority Brands home-services portfolio, and some legacy franchisees still operate under the STOP name. The business runs from a small office or shop with an outfitted van; the investment is low-to-mid six figures, with an $80,000 equipment and vehicle outfitting package paid to the franchisor at signing. Revenue is driven by insurance-paid emergency jobs, so success depends on relationships with adjusters, agents, plumbers and property managers, a 24/7 call response and Xactimate-based estimating. An Owner must serve as the Key Person responsible for day-to-day operations in the first territory. Royalties step down as mitigation revenue passes $1 million and $5 million, rewarding volume. Territory count has grown quickly, from 65 to 115 over three years, with affiliate-owned units flat at 22.
