## Story

Mold Medics has awarded three territories in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Tim Swackhammer, the founder of Mold Medics, his father Jeffrey Sr. and his brother Jeffrey Jr. The territories were part of Tim’s founding footprint and will now be back under his family’s ownership through this agreement.

“This is truly a full-circle moment,” said Tim. “I wholeheartedly believe in the sustainability of Mold Medics, which is why I’m back as a franchise owner. I know our product and these communities like the back of my hand, and I’m proud to step into this role alongside my family. We’re ready to hit the ground running and provide the exceptional service that has become synonymous with the Mold Medics name.”

Tim joined his brother and father in growing a number of Verizon Wireless stores and other franchise concepts before founding Mold Medics in 2018 and opening it up to franchising in 2021. Today, he still manages a diverse portfolio of franchise concepts that will now include Mold Medics.

Mold Medics specializes in mold remediation, testing, air duct cleaning and home disinfection for residential and commercial customers. With Mold Medics, franchise owners enjoy low start-up costs, multiple revenue streams and the flexibility to have more balance between work and home.
