PuroClean

One Franchise Owner, Two Significant Brand Milestones

TAMARAC, Fla. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, has announced its first-ever new build location in Montana, led by longtime Canadian Franchise Owner Joe Pietras. After more than a decade of success with PuroClean in Canada, Pietras has opened the Kalispell-based location, marking his first American franchise and introducing PuroClean’s coverage in the state.

Located close to the Canadian border, the Kalispell area in Montana allows Pietras to expand his existing Canadian operations into a nearby U.S. market while strengthening PuroClean’s coverage in a key regional corridor. The new location enhances service accessibility for insurance partners, third-party administrators and property owners across both sides of the border, reflecting the brand’s continued focus on strategic expansion and building a more connected restoration network across North America.

“This milestone reflects the strength of PuroClean’s franchise model and the continued demand for our services across North America,” said Brandon Mangual, VP of Franchise Development at PuroClean. “As we expand into new markets like Montana, we are strengthening our network, creating growth opportunities for experienced Franchise Owners and advancing our broader national development strategy.”

From 2016 to 2021, Pietras and his business partner, Curtis Quinton, entered the Calgary market with three additional locations, growing their presence across Alberta and positioning the business for cross-border growth.

A key driver behind Pietras’ U.S. expansion was the structure of the American restoration market. He was drawn to the scale of the U.S. insurance-driven restoration industry, particularly PuroClean’s relationships with national insurance carrier programs. Those relationships can create significant opportunities for Franchise Owners looking to expand their service capabilities and revenue potential.

“These opportunities were a large part of my choice to open my location in Kalispell, Montana,” said Pietras. “It definitely gives new franchise locations a lot more chance for rapid growth. PuroClean has built a corporate foundation that gives Franchise Owners opportunities they didn’t know existed. The new ownership teams entering the system today are being given sharper tools and stronger support.”

Pietras is one of the brand’s most recognized Franchise Owners, as a 13-time President’s Circle recipient and a previous Franchise of the Year (Canada), Rising Star, and Rainmaker.

“This expansion strengthens how PuroClean supports its national insurance and TPA partners,” said Nick Hindle, Chief Information Officer at PuroClean. “As we grow across markets and borders, our technology ensures a fully connected network with consistent visibility, streamlined claims coordination, and standardized, reliable service delivery.”

With a network of over 500 locations across North America, PuroClean continues to grow, fueled by climate-driven disasters and everyday property needs. Ideal franchise candidates include trade professionals, insurance adjusters, veterans, and corporate executives. What unites them is the desire to own a purpose-driven business backed by a trusted support system. PuroClean Franchise Owners benefit from a recession-resistant model, strong community impact, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of their neighbors.

These engagements reflect PuroClean’s focus on fostering meaningful dialogue and sharing perspectives across restoration professionals, insurance carriers, and industry organizations.

“Industry events create valuable opportunities to collaborate with partners across the restoration and insurance industries,” said George Hernandez, Chief Operating Officer of PuroClean. “By staying actively engaged, we strengthen the relationships and knowledge sharing that ultimately support our Franchise Owners and the communities they serve.”

PuroClean’s continued presence at industry gatherings reflects the company’s commitment to staying closely aligned with restoration professionals, insurance partners, and industry organizations as the sector navigates increasing complexity, technological advancement, and rising customer expectations. By maintaining that alignment, PuroClean supports stronger collaboration and more informed decision-making across the claims and restoration lifecycle.

“Conferences like these give us direct insight into how the restoration and insurance market and its ecosystems are evolving,” said Nick Hindle, Chief Information Officer of PuroClean. “Those insights help guide how we develop the technology and systems that allow our Franchise Owners to operate more efficiently and deliver a better experience for customers and partners. Additionally, the opportunity to interact with so many key partners in the market cannot be understated, or missed.”

CHICAGO — PuroClean Disaster Services, the largest owner and operator of PuroClean franchises within the PuroClean Network, today announced the deployment of Agentech’s agentic AI platform to modernize claims operations, strengthen compliance with carrier guidelines, and drive incremental revenue recovery across its restoration business.

As claims volume and regulatory complexity continue to increase, restoration providers face growing pressure to deliver accurate, defensible estimates and documentation while maintaining operational efficiency. PuroClean implemented Agentech’s digital workforce to standardize estimating and invoicing practices, improve documentation quality, and support more consistent alignment with carrier and TPA requirements.

Agentech’s AI workflows continuously analyze estimates and job documentation to identify under-documented or omitted billable items, validate equipment usage against industry standards, and enforce carrier-specific formatting and compliance rules prior to submission. By embedding restoration industry standards and Xactimate/Cotality rule logic directly into the review process, the platform reduces rework, supplement delays, and payment friction.

Operating across seven distinct carrier guideline frameworks, PuroClean has leveraged the platform to standardize equipment setup, monitoring, and takedown calculations across locations, improve estimating discipline, and surface revenue opportunities earlier in the claims lifecycle.

“This platform provides immediate insight into documentation gaps and missed revenue opportunities, while reinforcing best practices and carrier alignment,” said Keegan Trudgen, PuroClean franchise owner. “It allows our teams to improve financial performance without compromising compliance or partner relationships.”

Since implementation, PuroClean reports identifying an average of $225 per file in previously unrealized revenue. In parallel, carrier partners benefit from more accurate submissions, standardized documentation, faster claim resolution, and fewer disputes.

“Restoration providers are being asked to do more with less while meeting increasingly stringent documentation standards,” said Robin Roberson, President and Co-founder of Agentech. “Our digital AI coworkers enable teams to apply carrier-specific logic and industry best practices at scale, improving both financial outcomes and claims quality, all in real-time.”

PuroClean plans to expand its use of Agentech’s platform to further standardize operations and strengthen collaboration with insurers and TPAs, underscoring a broader shift toward intelligent automation as a foundation for accuracy, compliance, and scalable growth in the claims ecosystem.

Agentech and PuroClean Disaster Services will be attending the INTRConnect 2026 Conference and welcome the opportunity to connect with insurance carriers, TPAs, independent adjusting firms, and restoration professionals interested in the practical application of AI within claims and restoration operations.

National Partnership Enhances Efficiency and Customer Experience During Disaster Recovery

TAMARAC, Fla. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, is proud to announce a National Strategic Partnership with Go Mini’s, the national portable storage franchise known for helping families through life’s transitions. This collaboration enables Go Mini’s to deliver secure, on-site storage directly to PuroClean’s network of 500+ franchises across the United States, supporting property owners during some of life’s most challenging moments.

Through a collaborative partnership, PuroClean Franchise Owners seamlessly deploy Go Mini’s portable storage containers, which are delivered promptly to help protect customers’ belongings throughout the restoration process. Whether responding to water damage, fire, mold, or biohazard cleanup, this partnership ensures restoration teams can work efficiently, provides peace of mind to home and business owners, and reinforces PuroClean Franchise Owners as trusted, full-service partners during critical property restoration situations.

A critical component of many restoration projects is the pack-out and contents cleaning process, where belongings must be carefully removed, inventoried, protected, and restored while mitigation and restoration are underway. Go Mini’s portable containers act as secure, on-site extensions of the job site, allowing PuroClean teams to streamline pack-outs, reduce handling and transportation delays, and begin contents cleaning faster, helping return customers’ personal items more efficiently and with greater care.

Key Consumer Benefits:

• 15% National Discount: Every PuroClean franchise can offer customers a standardized 15% savings on container rentals and transportation costs.
• Fast, Priority Response: Go Mini’s responds quickly to urgent requests, providing secure storage when homeowners need it most.
• On-Site Safety & Convenience: Clean, weatherproof, ground-level storage is delivered directly to the property, minimizing disruption during the restoration process.
• Streamlined Experience: A consistent process and discount structure across all PuroClean franchises ensures reliable service nationwide.

“During disaster recovery, every minute counts, and protecting homeowners’ belongings is a top priority,” said Steve White, PuroClean President. “Partnering with Go Mini’s allows our franchises to deliver fast, reliable storage solutions that enhance the restoration experience and give families peace of mind.”

Go Mini’s complements PuroClean’s restoration services with its extensive container selection, including industry-exclusive 20-foot units and compact solutions for smaller spaces. Its proprietary delivery system allows placement in tight areas where others cannot, while local Go Mini’s teams provide dedicated service to ensure on-time, on-budget projects that support efficient job completion and positive customer outcomes.

“Restoration projects move quickly, and protecting contents from further damage is essential,” said Chris Walls, CEO of Go Mini’s. “This partnership equips PuroClean teams with flexible, on-site storage solutions that support efficient pack-outs and contents cleaning, helping families recover faster while restoration work is completed.”

Through this national partnership, PuroClean and Go Mini’s are redefining the restoration experience by combining fast response, safe storage, and consistent service for homeowners across the country.

Milestone Marks a Decade of Lasting Impact on Communities, Franchise Owners, and the Restoration Industry

TAMARAC, Fla. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, is celebrating a landmark milestone: the 10-year leadership anniversary of Chairman & CEO Mark W. Davis and Vice Chairman Frank Torre. Since acquiring the brand in September 2015, the duo has overseen its expansion from 222 locations to more than 500 across the U.S. and Canada—a milestone reached earlier this year. Their decade of leadership reflects a commitment to strategic, sustainable growth, operational excellence, and strong Franchise Owner support.

“We are incredibly proud of what our network has achieved.

When Davis and Torre took ownership a decade ago, their goal was clear: to build PuroClean into a World-Class Brand that could serve more communities with compassion, technical expertise, and unparalleled service. As a privately owned company, they focused on long-term growth and investing in people, systems, and infrastructure, differentiating PuroClean from many industry players focused on private equity-driven rapid expansion. Today, that vision has become reality, reflected in a 5x increase in average franchise unit sales, expanded training and in-field support initiatives, stronger insurance partnerships, and operational excellence achieved across the network.

In addition, PuroClean further advanced its operations strength with a redesigned vendor partnership model built around value, innovation, cultural alignment, and scalability, connecting the network with high-performing partners who can consistently support growth and service excellence across all markets.

A Decade Defined by Growth, Impact, and Industry Recognition

• Franchise Business Review awards for Top Franchises for Women, Veterans, Culture, and Most Profitable Franchises
• Franchise Times Zor Award, named one of the Top 10 Best Franchises to Buy

Major Milestones (2015–2025)

• 2015 – Davis & Torre acquire PuroClean and launch a brand refresh with key insurance partnerships in place.

• 2019 – Launch the PuroVet Program to create entrepreneurial opportunities for veterans and support the veterans already in the network.
• 2020 – Adapt to the pandemic with hybrid training and virtual support, and introduce The PuroClean Way, the brand’s guiding restoration philosophy.
• 2021 – Launch the Equipment Rental Program, giving PuroClean Franchise Owners access to critical equipment for large-scale, weather-related restoration projects across the country.
• 2022 – Expand into Puerto Rico and establish a Sales & Franchise Growth department, designed to strengthen local route sales efforts for business development support nationwide.
• 2023 – Surpass $400M in systemwide sales and grow PuroClean Canada to 50 locations.
• 2024 – Achieve SOC2 Type II certification for enhanced data security and launch Partnership for a Resilient America with the U.S. Department of Labor and Resilience Force.
• 2025 – Reach 500 locations across North America, with the scale and support to help more property owners in need and celebrate 10 years of leadership under Davis and Torre.

“Ten years ago, we set out to invest in people, programs, and culture, and today, the results truly speak for themselves,” said Torre. “This milestone is a testament to the unwavering commitment of every PuroClean team member and PuroClean Franchise Owners who embraced our vision. It also reflects the strength of purpose-driven initiatives like PuroVet, which continues to open doors for veterans to build successful futures through business ownership. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built, and more than ever, by the opportunities ahead to elevate PuroClean and expand our impact together.”

Looking Ahead: 2026 and Beyond

As PuroClean accelerates into its next phase of growth, Davis and Torre remain focused on advancing the company’s vision as a World-Class Brand rooted in service, expertise, and humanity. Key priorities include:

• Strategic franchise growth in high-need markets across North America
• Continued investment in advanced training, reconstruction, and commercial restoration programs
• Strengthening national insurance partnerships
• Expanding veteran entrepreneurship through the PuroVet Program
• Continuously enhancing operational support and technology to better serve PuroClean Franchise Owners

Restoration Franchise Offers Veterans Leadership Path, Gaining National Recognition

TAMARAC, Fla. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, recognizes Congressman John James (MI-10) for his ongoing support of veteran entrepreneurship. A West Point graduate and former Army aviation officer, James has long advocated for pathways that enable veterans to continue serving their communities through business ownership. He points to programs like PuroVet as examples of how veterans can leverage their leadership skills to build successful enterprises.

“Veterans possess the discipline, leadership, and resolve to build strong communities when given room to grow,” said James. “Programs like PuroVet create space for those strengths to continue long after the uniform comes off – not by promising success, but by empowering veterans to pursue it.”

Launched in 2017, the PuroVet Program offers veterans a proven route to franchise ownership. PuroClean operates more than 500 locations across North America, many of which are run by veterans. PuroVet participants receive a 25 percent discount on the franchise fee, industry‑leading training at the PuroClean Academy and Flood House, ongoing mentorship from experienced Franchise Owners, and a recession‑resistant business model within a $210 billion restoration industry. They also join a community of fellow veterans who continue to lead with purpose.

PuroClean’s PuroVet Program demonstrates the power of veteran entrepreneurship. Veteran Franchise Owners at PuroClean consistently deliver high performance and retention, helping families recover from disasters, creating jobs, and building businesses that provide long‑term stability. Their ability to lead teams, remain steady during crises, and deliver exceptional customer service translates naturally into the restoration field, with the program serving as a bridge between their military experience and civilian entrepreneurship.

“Veterans don’t stop leading when their military service ends—they look for their next mission,” said Frank Torre, Vice Chairman of PuroClean. “PuroClean’s PuroVet Program was built to honor that mindset by giving veterans a real pathway to business ownership, economic independence, and continued service to their communities. We’re grateful to Congressman James for recognizing the importance of veteran entrepreneurship and for highlighting programs like PuroVet that empower veterans to turn leadership into lasting impact.”

TAMARAC, Fla. — PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, has been named a Top Franchise for Veterans by Franchise Business Review (FBR) and ranked number 10 on Entrepreneur’s list of Top Franchises For Veterans for 2025. These recognitions underscore the brand’s strong commitment to empowering military veterans through business ownership opportunities, training, and long-term support.

To determine this year’s list, FBR surveyed more than 2,100 franchise owners across 365 brands, analyzing their satisfaction with key areas such as brand leadership, franchisee support, financial opportunity, and likelihood to recommend their franchise to others. PuroClean’s high marks from veteran and non-veteran franchisees alike earned it a place among the most respected and veteran-friendly franchise systems in the country.

In addition to this honor, PuroClean also achieved a prestigious standing in Entrepreneur magazine’s 2025 Top Franchises for Veterans list, coming in at number 10. The publication considered each company’s veteran incentive, how veteran Franchise Owners are attracted to and supported by the company, and how each company scored in the 2024 Franchise 500. Together, these awards further solidify PuroClean’s position as an industry leader in veteran franchise ownership.

Central to PuroClean’s veteran efforts is its PuroVet program, a comprehensive pathway designed to support veterans transitioning into entrepreneurship. The brand recognizes the outstanding qualities veterans have gained through their service that make them tremendous Franchise Owners in their system and supports them through initiatives such as:

• Significant financial incentives, with a VetFran discount of 25% of the initial franchise fee and assistance in securing funding
• Specialized onboarding and training, built around veterans’ proven skills
• Ongoing mentorship, skill development, and business coaching and connection with fellow veteran Franchise Owners through efforts like the Veteran’s Forum where they get together to discuss ways to make their franchises more successful
• Access to a national support system powered by industry-leading operations tools and 24/7 assistance

The PuroVet program has enabled veterans nationwide to leverage their leadership experience, resilience, and problem-solving capabilities, traits that directly align with the demands and rewards of running a PuroClean franchise.

“We are deeply honored to receive these recognitions,” said Steve White President of PuroClean. “Veterans bring extraordinary leadership, resilience, and integrity to our organization, and we’re proud that one in seven PuroClean Franchise Owners is a veteran. Their background in teamwork, service-oriented leadership, mission execution, and calm decision-making under pressure directly translates to success in the property restoration industry. We are lucky to have a strong group of veterans in our system that strengthen our entire network and inspire our ongoing commitment to supporting those who have served.”
