    AI can't dry a flooded basement.

    Voda announces 100 franchise owners.

    Pipes burst. Basements flood. Mold spreads. When it happens, the homeowner calls a restoration company, and insurance often pays the bill. Voda is the franchise that gets that call.

    The math

    $1,075Average cleaning job

    In 2024, the average restoration job at Voda's flagship brought in $12,348. The average cleaning job: $1,075. Cleaning keeps your crews busy and your name in front of homeowners. Restoration is where the big tickets are.

    Market check · Franchisor confirmation

    Is your market open?

    Tell us where you'd build. We'll ask Voda to confirm current availability and send you a private fit analysis.

    No cost. No obligation. A market request is not a territory reservation.

    A territory check is a diligence step, not a promise of availability, qualification or financial performance.

    Why this beats a paycheck

    Most people rent their income. Owners build an asset.

    • A paycheck stops when you stop. A business with crews, trucks and customers keeps working, and can be sold.
    • Water damage, mold and fire happen in every economy.
    • No storefront, no lease. Start with a crew of two or three.
    • Your job is building the company, not running the shop vac.

    Can you actually do this?

    You don't need restoration experience. You need to lead.

    • 02A five-step process takes you from first call to grand opening.
    • 03Lead generation and marketing support are included.
    • 04The Talent Scout program helps you hire your crew.
    • 05Dedicated success coaches from day one.

    Why not just buy a restoration company?

    Fair question. Here's the honest answer.

    You can buy an independent restoration company, and some people should. What you'd be buying from Voda instead is a brand, a playbook, marketing, hiring support and a network of owners who've already made the mistakes. Whether that's worth the franchise fee and royalty is exactly what we'll help you figure out.

    The honest part

    This isn't a side hustle.

    Water damage happens at 2 a.m. on holiday weekends. Restoration means emergency calls, certified crews and working with insurance adjusters. If you want easy, this isn't it. If you want a business people need on their worst day, keep reading.
