Founded in 2019 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Mold Medics is a specialized franchise offering mold remediation, indoor air quality testing, air duct cleaning, and radon mitigation services.
The company began franchising in 2020 and is currently headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. As of 2024, Mold Medics operates a growing network of franchise locations across the United States.
Mold Medics sets itself apart by serving residential and commercial clients who face indoor air quality issues not caused by large-scale disasters.
Unlike traditional restoration firms focused on insurance-driven claims, Mold Medics targets everyday needs with services ranging from minor mold treatments to full-scale air quality solutions. This strategic niche allows franchisees to cater to an often-overlooked but essential market.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Mold Medics offers a comprehensive training program to ensure franchisees and their teams are well-prepared to operate the business effectively. The franchisor provides structured instruction across both classroom and field environments. Here are the key components:
Mold Medics provides each franchisee with a defined territory of approximately 250,000 people, ensuring they are the only franchise permitted to operate a Mold Medics business offering services to customers within that area.
However, the franchisor retains the right to market and operate under other names or through other systems in or near a franchisee’s area. While other Mold Medics franchises cannot be established in that territory, the area is considered non-exclusive due to the franchisor's reserved rights.
The franchisor may allow exceptions for National Account work, emergency service scenarios, or existing relationships another franchisee has in the territory. These permissions allow temporary or specialized services within the franchisee’s area without compensation.
