About All Dry
All Dry: Modern Restoration. Essential Demand. Scalable Ownership.
All Dry is a disaster restoration franchise providing water damage mitigation, mold remediation, fire and smoke restoration, storm damage response, sewage cleanup, odor removal, leak detection, biohazard cleanup, and related emergency services. The brand was founded in 2014 and began franchising in 2020, with a model built to combine essential, insurance-influenced demand with a lean, home-based operating structure and modern systems support.
All Dry operates in a category driven by property damage events that customers cannot postpone, creating need-based demand across residential and commercial markets. The model is designed to launch quickly, typically within 45 to 90 days, depending on market readiness, licensing, hiring, and onboarding, often with a small initial team and no retail storefront.
Business Model: Owner-Operator, Semi-Absentee & Multi-Unit
Financials: Estimated initial investment for one territory is $154,844 - $343,800. All Dry provides financial performance representations in Item 19 of the 2026 FDD.
Right-Fit Candidates: All Dry is best suited for business-minded, organized leaders with team management, sales, operations, home services, insurance, property management, or entrepreneurial backgrounds. No prior restoration or remediation experience is required, but candidates should be comfortable leading people, following systems, building local relationships, and staying actively engaged in performance management. Candidates should generally have at least $100,000 in liquid capital and a net worth of approximately $500,000.
All Dry positions itself as a modern alternative to older restoration brands through strong branding, responsiveness, training, systems, and technology. The business is home-based and mobile, and semi-absentee ownership can work for qualified candidates who hire a strong operating leader and remain involved in business development, financial review, and team accountability.
