United Water Restoration Group Awards Franchise to Jason Bernard

Ormond Beach, FL – United Water Restoration Group, Inc. (UWRG), the premiere franchise provider of disaster restoration services for residential and commercial properties in the United States and Canada, has awarded a Houston franchise to Jason Bernard, an experienced Texas businessman.

"Jason has been a member of our field management team for the past decade, and understands how to help Texas homeowners and businesses struggling with water, mold, fire and smoke damage," said Roy Billesbach, president of the fast-growing company based in Ormond Beach, FL. “With Houston’s high temperatures and constant humidity, mold, in particular, is a year-round problem.”

After living through Hurricane Harvey's devastating flooding last August, Bernard decided to help his community recover by moving from UWRG executive to franchise entrepreneur with his own team of five disaster restoration professionals.

"I had customers who had to be rescued from their homes as the waters rose to the rooflines," Bernard said. "For day after day, the new headlines were all about Harvey’s deaths and destruction in Houston. But those of us who live here know that the aftermath of a storm can also be devastating. It’s not easy to go back and pick up your life. Restoring a flooded home or business is a difficult challenge that should be done by trained professionals who know how to manage the process.”

A resident of Spring, Bernard and his family attend Champions Forest Baptist Church in Spring. He started his career in telecommunications in New York before moving to Florida and joining UWRG in 2008 as the company’s second employee. "UWRG is a great company to work for because it gives you the freedom to do your job the right way for the customer,” he said.

Founded in 2008, United Water Restoration Group, Inc., recently began offering franchise opportunities to entrepreneurs across North America. In less than 10 years, the company has grown rapidly. In the United States, UWRG disaster recovery support is available 24-hours a day, seven-days-a-week for businesses and home owners in 14 Florida locations, as well as in the Houston, Texas and Omaha, Nebraska markets. In Canada, UWRG services are available in the Toronto region. The company's professional services include residential and commercial water removal, dehumidification, storm and hurricane damage, mold remediation, fire and smoke damage, and reconstruction services.
