Chem-Dry (the name stands for CHEMISTRY-DRY) is an American carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning franchise chain with main offices in Logan, Utah and Nashville, Tennessee.

History

When it was founded in 1977, it was originally based in California.[1] Chem-Dry began franchising in 1978, and now has over 4000 locations worldwide.[2]

In 2006, Chem-Dry was acquired by The Home Depot.[3][4]

In 2011, Chem-Dry was sold to Baird Capital Partners which is located in Chicago. This purchase also included N-Hance which specialized in wood cabinet and flooring renewal service. N-Hance has over 200 franchises. In 2018, Baird Capital Partners purchased Delta Restoration Services (formerly Delta Disaster Services) and now offers flood disaster services. In 2019, Chem-Dry became part of the BELFOR Franchise Group and Dan Tarantin, previously Chem-Dry President, became the COO of BFG. Tarantin left BFG in 2022.[citation needed] Edward Quinlan became President of Chem-Dry in October 2020.[5]
