History
SSteamatic was founded in 1948 by two colleagues in Fort Worth, Texas who recognized the need for professional cleaning and restoration services in the wake of disasters. With a growing focus on water, fire, smoke, and mold remediation, the company quickly gained a reputation for delivering high-quality, reliable service. As the demand for disaster recovery services grew, Steamatic expanded its offerings and began franchising in 1968, making it one of the first companies in the industry to adopt a franchise model.
Over the past five decades, Steamatic has built a strong international presence. The brand’s success is driven by its commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction, and its ability to adapt to an ever-changing market. With a proven track record in both residential and commercial sectors, Steamatic continues to expand through franchising, offering entrepreneurial individuals the opportunity to join a trusted leader in the disaster recovery and restoration industry. The company’s vision for continued growth centers on leveraging its reputation, strong industry relationships, and cutting-edge technology to meet the increasing demand for disaster recovery services across the globe.
