Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from Zoom Drain's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

Google returns at most twenty locations for a search, so the rating is a sample of Zoom Drain's outlets rather than all of them. The site on file for Zoom Drain is its franchise-recruitment site rather than its consumer site, so locator and app checks would say nothing about the brand and are not shown. Measured Sep 11, 2026.

What it really costs

Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range

ExpenseLowHigh
Initial franchise fee$54,500$54,500
Total initial investment$54,500$54,500

Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.

Costs more to open than 23% of cleaning franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (85 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.

Earnings disclosure

Does the franchisor share performance data? No

This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls. Compare against cleaning brands that do disclose one.

Legal history

DISCLOSED
Bankruptcy disclosed for the franchisor or its officers — see Item 4.
CLEAR
One disclosed matter involving an affiliate (Restoration 1 Franchise Holdings LLC), not Zoom Drain itself: a July 2024 Settlement Order with the Virginia State Corporation Commission over a franchise registration lapse, settled for $1,000 in investigative costs plus a compliance-training commitment; no admission of wrongdoing. Zoom Drain Franchise, LLC itself has no required litigation disclosures.
PROTECTED
Item 12 grants a protected territory.
NOT DISCLOSED
Non-compete term/radius wasn't separately quantified in the filing excerpt we have on file.

Common questions

Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.

How much does a Zoom Drain franchise cost?

Zoom Drain's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $55K–$55K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee itself is $54,500, and is included in that range.

What royalty does Zoom Drain charge?

Zoom Drain charges a continuing royalty of 6% of gross sales, disclosed in Item 6. A separate brand or advertising fund contribution of 2% applies on top. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.

Does Zoom Drain disclose earnings (Item 19)?

No. Zoom Drain makes no financial performance representation in its FDD. Item 19 is the only optional item under the FTC Franchise Rule, so omitting it is lawful and common — but it means the franchisor publishes no revenue or profit figures for its outlets, and any figure quoted elsewhere is not from the filing.

How many Zoom Drain locations closed?

In its most recent reported year (2025), Zoom Drain opened 12, closed 0, terminated 6 franchised outlets, ending the year with 324. These counts come from Item 20, which every franchisor must file.

Does Zoom Drain give a protected territory?

Zoom Drain's FDD describes a protected territory in Item 12. Protection varies in what it actually excludes — franchisors commonly reserve online sales and alternative channels inside it — so the wording in the filing matters more than the yes.

Facts on this page are sourced from Zoom Drain's Franchise Disclosure Document.

Item 5 fee scales with territory count/population ($49,500 single territory; $89,500 for two contiguous; $119,500 for three; plus $0.16/additional person over 300,000 population); $5,000 veteran discount on first territory. Item 6 royalty rises to the greater of 6% or $1,000/territory/month after month 12; also a $1,000/territory/month minimum local advertising requirement and a $15-$35/account/month 'productivity application' fee not captured in single fields. Item 12: territory is granted but the franchisor explicitly reserves the right to compete within it via affiliate-owned locations, so protection is qualified rather than absolute. Item 17 non-compete term extends through the agreement plus an indefinite post-termination restriction on operating a similar business within the territory -- no fixed year count or mile radius was specified, so both left null rather than guessed. Item 19 and Item 20 content exists in the source PDF but was not retrievable via the fetch tool in two attempts; left null rather than estimated.
