1. Executive Summary
-
Roughly 1 in 60 insured homes files a water-damage or freezing claim each year in the U.S., which is about 14,000 water-damage incidents per day.
-
Water damage and freezing cause around 28% of all home insurance claims, with an average claim of about $13,954
-
The damage restoration/disaster restoration market is estimated around $40-45B+, growing approximately 5-6% annually into the next decade.
PlumDry is a specialty franchise that combines emergency plumbing with immediate water-mitigation/drying. Instead of the usual “plumber stops the leak, then a separate mitigation company shows up later,” PlumDry puts both services I one brand, one truck, one visit.
“Be the first one there. Stop the water,
start the drying, capture the claim.”
For a franchise owner, that means:
-
Multiple revenue streams from a single truck roll
-
High urgency / high-value calls (insurance- covered events)
-
Strong cross-referral potential with plumbers, contractors, and restoration companies
2. Market Opportunity
The U.S. plumbing industry is worth $120-$170B+, with over $110k-$130k plumbing businesses competing for work.
At the same time, water-damage events are constant, with tens of thousands of insurance claims and billions in payouts every year.
PlumDry Flips this scenario into:
-
PlumDry tech (plumber-trained) arrives
-
Stops the leak and immediately starts the drying process
-
Documents the loss, sets equipment, protects structure.
-
The claim is more controlled, damage is limited, and you’re positioned as the hero to both homeowner and the insurance company.
Plumbing +Water Damage = Built-In Demand
Scenario...
Leak happens. A Plumber shows up, fixes pipe. Hours later (or even the next day) a mitigation/restoration company shows up. The damage is worse, the claim is bigger, the homeowner stress is higher
3.The PlumDry Concept (Positioning)
-
For Homeowners: “We stop the leak and start the drying in one visit.”
-
For Plumbers: “Turn emergency calls into high-value, multi-service jobs instead of one-and-done repairs.”
You’ve seen PlumDry’s story:
Our Founders have decades (40–70+ years) of industry experience.
Realizing that plumbers + drying is a “perfect match,” so PlumDry combines them under one brand
4. Franchise Value Proposition
For a Plumber (or Plumbing Company)
-
More revenue per call
-
Not just fix the pipe—bill for extraction, drying equipment, monitoring.
-
-
Higher-value, insurance-backed jobs
-
Many water-loss jobs are more than just a plumbing repair more than basic service calls. Average water damage claim, can be better ~$12k–$14k range.
-
-
Differentiation in a crowded market
-
Among ~100k+ plumbing businesses, very few can say they also professionally handle mitigation with a structured, branded system.
-
-
Year-round, recession-resistant
-
Pipes burst, toilets overflow, water heaters fail in all economies; insurance-backed work tends to continue even in downturns. Water damage consistently ranks as one of the top 2 causes of property damage claims.
-
