How much does a Epic Septic franchise make?

Epic Septic is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure is $321,288 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations). See every home services brand that discloses earnings in the Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Epic Septic franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Epic Septic's 7% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Epic Septic franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Epic Septic franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $321,288 of revenue, a 7% royalty alone is about $22,490 a year before any other cost.

Epic Septic lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Epic Septic's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.

Epic Septic closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Epic Septic will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Epic Septic's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a home services of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Epic Septic's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.

Who owns Epic Septic?

Epic Septic's franchise is offered by Epic Septic Franchise, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at MN CARDS; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
