This is super exciting and some of you already are in the know, but I figured it was time to inform the masses since a lot of you live, work and know people that are going to be in our service areas!!
Towards the end of November last year I started to see a shift occurring in the mortgage / real estate market, so we started talking about investing in another business to hedge against the cyclical mortgage market. With our youngest starting kindergarten this fall, it felt like the perfect time to get into something that my wife could run, rather than having her go back work for someone else. We started talking about different ideas and researching franchises. I wanted a recession proof business that isn't consumer direct and something that I could use my current business network to leverage.
After a couple months of research we decided that a Water, Fire and Mold Remediation business was the perfect model for what we were trying to accomplish. We started the discovery process with All Dry in February and after a lot of meetings with them, pulled the trigger on our first territory in April. After that came the process of obtaining financing for the remaining costs of the project. Almost 4 months later, we finally closed on our SBA loan to fund the purchase of 3 additional territories, along with the working capital we needed to get up and running.
All Dry has been in the restoration business since 2014 and based in Florida. We are the 2nd Franchisee to open in Southern California (Orange County was the first).
We own almost all of Riverside County and even have some territory in SD County (Fallbrook). If you are not in our territory, but need help, please do not hesitate to call as we are able to work outside our coverage area (just can't market there). We hope to be in a position to purchase Corona and Riverside (city) territories by Q2 of 2023.
As part of this process, I got my WRT certification through IICRC and we are an IICRC certified firm. My lead technician is fully trained, amazing and ready to work!
I know that experiencing a water loss can be a traumatizing and I hope that it doesn't happen to any of you, but if it does please keep us in mind. We are also set up for Odor Neutralization and Commercial Sanitization as well.
