What Zoom Drain's FDD reports in Item 19
Median Gross Sales Per Job
$819 per job
This is a figure per job, not what one outlet takes in a year. Zoom Drain's 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the 2025 calendar year. Basis: Franchises and Affiliate-Owned Locations, as applicable; the primary metric covers All Franchisees.
Sample size: 55 franchisees. The FDD also reports average gross sales per job of $902 per job. We lead with the median because an average is pulled upward by the strongest franchisees; the median is the middle franchisee.

- Part II excludes any franchisee that was terminated, reacquired, or ceased operations in 2025.
- Part III excludes any franchisee that was terminated, reacquired, or ceased operations in 2025.
