The Smart Way to Secure Commercial Restoration Business: Rocky Hensley & 1-Tom-Plumber
In this episode of Restoration Pros Unplugged, Clinton James sits down with Rocky Hensley, founder of ICON Property Rescue and the visionary behind 1-Tom-Plumber, to unpack a bold strategy that’s helping restoration companies secure more commercial restoration work—fast.
After building and selling a successful restoration company, Rocky saw the writing on the wall: shrinking margins, too much reliance on TPAs, and fewer large-loss opportunities. So, he created a game-changing solution—a plumbing franchise designed specifically to bolt onto restoration businesses and open doors to high-value commercial clients.
You’ll discover:
- Why emergency plumbing is the perfect lead-gen machine for water damage restoration
- How restoration owners are using 1-Tom-Plumber to get their foot in the door with commercial property managers
- The revenue and margin impact of adding plumbing services without overhauling your core business
- Real-world examples of franchisees recouping their investment in under 12 months
- The systems, training, and support 1-Tom-Plumber provides—from marketing to staffing to national branding
- What makes a restoration company the ideal candidate for this bolt-on franchise model
Whether you're trying to escape the TPA trap, grow your commercial footprint, or create more predictable commercial revenue, this episode delivers a proven roadmap to scale smarter.
