PuroClean of Central Southwest Houston 
At PuroClean of Central Southwest Houston, we believe in the power of collaboration, shared experience, and continuous learning. Last week, our team had the distinct honor of hosting fellow PuroClean owners and leaders from across the country for an Impact Group session right here at our location. This energizing event reinforced what makes PuroClean such a powerful and connected network — owners coming together with one shared goal: to help each other grow.
What is an Impact Group?
An Impact Group is a dynamic, peer-led gathering of PuroClean franchise owners who meet regularly to share insights, compare best practices, and hold one another accountable in pursuit of operational and business excellence. It’s more than just a meeting — it’s a think tank where experience meets innovation, and where every owner walks away inspired and equipped to take their business to the next level.
Our Central Southwest Houston location was proud to host this round, offering a detailed look at our team structure, systems, and workflows. In turn, we got to learn from our peers in meaningful and actionable ways.

We were truly honored to welcome the following PuroClean leaders:
- Hayley and Jiri Smetana from PuroClean of Southlake
