For franchisees who invest in 1-800 WATER DAMAGE, you receive the fruits of years of work that has placed the brand as one of the top-rated restoration franchises in the country. As a result – by building a brand people trust, we constantly have a demand for services, whether through referrals, return customers and having a reputation people soon discover when shopping around for restoration companies.

“This is a relationship business,” says Tim Fagan, President of 1-800 WATER DAMAGE. “I have customers who still send me thank-you cards 20 years later – that’s how meaningful this business is. We want to franchise with people who truly connect with our mission and want to go above and beyond. That’s why we’re successful.”

The BELFOR advantage

At 1-800 WATER DAMAGE, we understand our company can’t be successful if our franchisees aren’t successful.
