When experiencing water damage and countless people at our home saying yes you have a problem and no we can't help. I was discouraged, and frustrated. Until Willard's arrived and took the time to look into the issues and identify teams that could help and how they could help. They have been there through the whole process. Anthony and Cassie are a great team and knowledgeable on what to expect regarding the process and insurance companies lingo. They have restored our home for sure! I highly recommend them for your needs. You are in good hands here and your home will thank you. Sincerely grateful.

We have used Willard's Restoration & Cleaning three times now, twice to test for moisture levels/make sure there was no growth in a couple places and once for water restoration following a major kitchen leak. Anthony did excellent work and helped us navigate the insurance claim following the leak so we had much less stress and worry. He diligently worked in our home until the moisture levels were back to normal which gave us such peace of mind. We couldn't be more satisfied with the work, the value, and the confidence in knowing our home has been well taken care of. We've given his business card to several friends and will continue to recommend Willard's to anyone!

Our Water Restoration Process
Williamston grew up around its mineral spring and its mill, and many homes in town are decades old, built on crawl spaces with plumbing that has been extended and repaired piece by piece. Heavy rain on low ground around town adds its own risk. This is our process for emergency water damage in Williamston:
- 01
Stop and extract
We help locate and shut off the source if it is still running, then extract standing water from floors and the crawl space below. In Williamston's older homes, water that reaches the floor almost always reaches the crawl space too.
- 02
Find the hidden water
Thermal imaging and moisture meters follow the water along joists and under flooring. The crawl space is checked early, because that is where water collects and stays after the floors above look dry.
- 03
Structural drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers go in on both levels, including low-profile units for tight crawl spaces where standard equipment will not fit.
- 04
Monitor and adjust
Readings are logged on every visit until joists, subfloor and drywall reach dry standard for that material. If an area is drying slowly, we find out why rather than adding days to the job.
- 05
Put it back together
We repair the floors, walls and trim and hand your insurance company a complete file of photos, readings and an itemized scope. Painted surfaces in pre-1978 homes are tested for lead before any demolition.
All work for water damage restoration in Williamston follows IICRC S500 standards by IICRC-certified technicians.
Our Fire Restoration Process
In older Williamston homes, heat and smoke move easily through open wall cavities and attic spaces, so damage often reaches rooms that look untouched. Our process for fire damage restoration in Williamston:
- 01
Secure the property
Openings the fire created are boarded up and tarped, utilities are checked, and the damage is photographed room by room before anything is moved.
- 02
Trace the smoke
We follow smoke through the wall cavities and attic of the home, since older framing often lets it travel to rooms far from the fire. Every affected area is added to the scope, not just the obvious ones.
- 03
Clean every surface type
Original plaster, wood trim and older painted surfaces each need a different approach than modern drywall. Dry soot is removed first, then each surface is cleaned with the right method so residue is not driven deeper.
- 04
Deodorize
HEPA air scrubbers clean the air during the job, and odor embedded in framing and insulation is treated so it does not come back in summer heat.
- 05
Repair and rebuild
Damaged materials are replaced and finishes restored. Lead paint is tested and handled under EPA lead-safe practices before structural demolition in older homes.

Our Mold Removal Process
Most mold calls in Williamston start under the house. Crawl spaces with torn vapor barriers, poor drainage or old leaks hold moisture through the humid months, and that moisture works its way up into floors and walls. Our process for mold removal in Williamston:
- 01
Start under the house
The crawl space is treated as a primary inspection area, not an afterthought. We check joists, subfloor, insulation and the vapor barrier, and identify the moisture source before writing a scope.
- 02
Seal off the work area
Containment and negative air pressure with HEPA filtration keep spores from moving into the living space while we work.
- 03
Remove and treat
Contaminated insulation and building materials are removed, and wood framing is cleaned and treated with EPA-registered antimicrobials.
- 04
Confirm the result
Treated areas are inspected and moisture readings rechecked before we call the job finished.
- 05
Fix the cause
In Williamston that most often means crawl space vapor barrier and drainage improvements, and we explain exactly what we found so you can decide on next steps.

Frequently asked questions
How close are you to Williamston?
Our shop is in nearby Piedmont, so Williamston is one of the closest towns we serve. We answer 24/7 and target arriving within 60 minutes for emergencies.
There is a musty smell coming from under my house. Is that water or mold?
Often both. A musty smell from a crawl space usually means moisture is building up and mold is growing on joists, subfloor or insulation. We inspect the crawl space, find the moisture source and tell you plainly what needs remediation and what does not.
My house is over 50 years old. Can you repair water damage without disturbing lead paint?
We test painted surfaces before cutting into them. If lead is present, the work is done under EPA lead-safe practices with containment and cleanup by our certified team.
Do you work on churches and small businesses in Williamston?
Yes. We restore commercial properties as well as homes, and we plan drying and repairs around your schedule as much as the job allows.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage from a burst pipe?
Sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe, is commonly covered, while long-term leaks and flooding often are not. Your adjuster makes the final call. We document the cause and extent of the damage so your claim is as clear as possible.
What should I do while I wait for your crew?
Shut off the water at the main valve if you can do so safely, turn off power to wet areas, move valuables out of the water and take photos. Do not use a household vacuum on standing water.
