Water & Fire Restoration Co. w/ $87K Equipment

This property damage restoration contractor handles water mitigation, fire and smoke cleaning and restoration, contents pack-out with climate-controlled storage, mold remediation, and carpet cleaning for homeowners, landlords, and commercial buildings across the growing northern suburbs of Gwinnett County, GA. Jobs come through insurance claims and contractor referrals, a channel the founder built out of an earlier career in insurance rather than through paid advertising. Work runs from two leased office/warehouse units totaling roughly 3,000 square feet - one holding the drying fleet and a climate-controlled truck mount, the other set up as climate-controlled contents space with five storage vaults. The founder oversees day-to-day operations and the referral relationships, supported by a contents and administrative manager and a technician helper, with reconstruction labor subcontracted on larger fire jobs. Job volume has come down from earlier peaks as local marketing spend and staffing were cut ahead of the owner's retirement, so a buyer is taking over an intact equipment fleet and service area rather than a growing book of work. Included in the sale are the restoration equipment package, two vehicles, inventory, customer and job records, and the leases on both units. Best suited to a restoration, reconstruction, or carpet cleaning company adding metro Atlanta capacity, or to an experienced mitigation technician stepping into ownership with the equipment already bought and paid for.

Water and fire losses are non-discretionary and largely insurance-funded, which keeps demand steady through soft economies, and the northern Gwinnett County corridor continues to add housing and commercial square footage. Customers are homeowners, landlords, and commercial property owners, with claims adjusters and contractor partners feeding the work. Competing against national mitigation brands and local independents comes down to response time and referral relationships, and the equipment fleet, trained technicians, and claims documentation tools (thermal imaging, 3D scanning) that adjusters expect are real barriers to casual entry. The operation has held those relationships since 2017.

Local marketing spend was cut to roughly $88,888Amount hidden. Sign up to view. last year, and funding it back up is the most direct lever available: the same claims and contractor referral channels carried more than $88,888Amount hidden. Sign up to view. in sales in 2023. Reconstruction labor is currently subcontracted out on fire jobs, so bringing rebuild work in-house captures margin on jobs the business already sells, and commercial restoration and biohazard cleanup are adjacent lines the current owner never pursued. The contents vaults and the carpet-cleaning truck mount sit idle between losses and can be sold as standalone services to property managers and apartment operators. The service footprint covers only a slice of the county, leaving room to widen coverage into neighboring communities.
