My Charlotte LLC is based on West Main Street in Northville and responds across Bloomfield Hills. Brian Olszewski leads every job himself.Bloomfield Hills is a city of large homes on large lots, many of them decades old and extensively renovated. What that means for water damage is complication. A single house can hold original 1950s plumbing behind one wall and a ten year old addition behind another. Finished lower levels run to thousands of square feet. Hardwood, custom millwork, and built in cabinetry sit on floors that were never meant to get wet.
The stakes are simply higher here. Not because the water behaves differently, but because of what it lands on.

Standing water moves into drywall, subfloor, and framing where you cannot see it. We extract the water, find the hidden moisture with detection equipment, and run structural drying until readings confirm the property is dry. Burst pipes, sump pump failures, and sewer backups are all part of what we handle.

Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, and basements across Detroit are where it takes hold first. We contain the area, filter the air, remove the growth safely, and correct the moisture source so it does not return.

Metro Detroit storms bring wind, rain, and power loss at once, and a dead sump pump during a downpour floods a basement fast. We stabilize the property, stop the water still coming in, and begin extraction and drying before the damage spreads further.

Water leaves smells behind long after it dries, usually because moisture or organic material is still sitting somewhere you cannot see. We locate the source and treat the material directly rather than covering the smell with fragrance.
When a flooded room contains hardwood, custom millwork, or built in cabinetry, the decision about what comes out and what gets dried is not a small one. Removing material that could have been saved is expensive. Leaving material that should have come out is worse, because it grows mold behind a wall that then has to be opened again.
That decision gets made on moisture readings, not on guesswork. Brian assesses what is actually saturated before anything is pulled, and he stays on the drying until the readings confirm the structure is dry. Drying takes 3 to 7 days, and on a large lower level it is usually the full seven

Here are answers to common questions about our restoration services.

My Charlotte LLC responds the same day. We are based on West Main Street in Northville. Water moves into drywall, subfloor, and framing within hours, so arrival time determines how much material can be dried instead of removed.
Sometimes, if we reach them fast and the water was clean. Hardwood cups and buckles as it absorbs moisture, and drying it in place requires specialized equipment and daily readings. Once the subfloor beneath it is saturated, removal is usually the only option.
Moisture readings, not appearance. Porous material saturated with water, and anything touched by contaminated water, comes out. Material that is wet but salvageable gets dried and monitored. My Charlotte LLC takes readings before anything is removed.
Drying takes 3 to 7 days, and a large finished lower level usually takes the full seven. Square footage determines how many air movers and dehumidifiers are required. We take readings daily and do not pull equipment early.
Sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe or a failed appliance line, is typically covered. Gradual seepage and surface flooding are typically not, and sump pump failure often requires a separate rider. My Charlotte LLC documents moisture readings and drying logs for your claim.
Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours if the structure is not properly dried. Large homes carry added risk, because water can spread into rooms that are used infrequently, and growth can go unnoticed for months.
