About AccuGuard

AccuGuard is a mobile environmental testing franchise specializing in asbestos, lead, and mold testing.
Its groundbreaking Mobile Lab™ technology brings testing directly to the job site, delivering results in
approximately 90 minutes compared to the days often required by traditional methods. This allows
analysts to complete an average of four to five jobs per day, with a typical payment cycle of just 10–14
days. The model serves both B2B and B2C customers, including restoration companies, contractors,
property managers, and homeowners.
With a home-based, low-overhead, semi-absentee business model requiring just one analyst and one
salesperson, AccuGuard offers entrepreneurs and multi-unit operators an opportunity to enter a
needs-based industry. Backed by PuroSystems, LLC, an established multi-brand franchise platform,
AccuGuard combines an emerging concept with decades of franchising experience and established
infrastructure.

WHY AccuGuard?

AccuGuard bridges the gap between restoration and insurance with immediate on-site environmental testing and analysis.
AccuGuard offers a low staff, semi-absentee business model with up to two employees and no storefront required.
AccuGuard's open territory model allows Franchise Owners to market and build relationships across eligible U.S. markets.
