Overview

FRSTeam is a national franchise network specializing in the restoration of personal property -- including textiles, clothing, electronics, and other contents -- damaged by fire, smoke, water, or mold. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Hayward, California, FRSTeam operates throughout the United States and Canada as a preferred claims partner for insurance carriers and property restoration professionals.

The company serves homeowners and commercial property owners by providing itemized pack-out, professional cleaning, electronics restoration, and safe return of contents during the claims and remediation process. FRSTeam provides insurance carriers with audit-ready photo documentation and non-restorable reporting to support claim settlements.

FRSTeam operates through a multi-location franchise network. The company was acquired by LYNX Franchising in June 2020 and became part of Empower Brands in 2022 when LYNX Franchising and Outdoor Living Brands merged. Empower Brands is backed by private equity firm MidOcean Partners.
