PuroClean awarded its first franchise in Puerto Rico. The franchise is located in San Juan, the island’s capital and largest city. This new location is the second location for owner Joseph Ortiz, owner of PuroClean of Reston in Virginia.
Ortiz is a native of Puerto Rico, with much of his family still residing on the island, so he is familiar with the potential for issues. Set along the island’s Atlantic coast, the San Juan area is prone to flooding and structural damage due to natural disasters and aging infrastructures. These aging infrastructures lead to building integrity failure, creating opportunities for reconstruction and remediation of secondary damage. Ortiz’s team will also focus on hurricane preparation and aftermath recovery, as well as microbial growth assessment and remediation.
