Water Damage Restoration in Farmingto, MI
Our Company
Water Damage Restoration for Farmington Homes and Businesses
My Charlotte LLC is based on West Main Street in Northville and responds across Farmington. Brian Olszewski leads every job himself.Farmington is small and old. The city covers only a few square miles and holds some of the oldest housing in Oakland County, with homes near the downtown that predate almost everything around them. Original supply lines run through walls that were built before modern insulation, which is why a January cold snap produces burst pipe calls here that newer suburbs simply do not get.
The other half of the picture is the Rouge River. It runs right through Farmington, and the neighborhoods closest to it sit low enough that heavy rain becomes a groundwater problem rather than a plumbing one.

OUR SERVICES
Expert Solutions for Every Type of Property Damage
Water Damage Restoration
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
Remediation
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.
Storm Damage Restoration
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.
Odor
Removal
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.
WHY CHOOSE us
Why Choose My Charlotte LLC in Farmington
On Call 24/7 Emergency Response
A burst pipe in an older Farmington home is not a simple job. The water runs inside a wall built before modern construction, through plaster and lath, along framing that has been dry for a century. It travels further than anyone expects, and the damage two rooms away is often worse than the damage at the break.
We find every wet material, not just the obvious one. Brian assesses the structure with moisture meters before anything gets pulled out, then stays on the drying until the readings say it is finished. Drying takes 3 to 7 days.

F.A.Q
Frequently Asked
Questions
Here are answers to common questions about our restoration services.
How fast can you get to a water damage emergency in Farmington?
My Charlotte LLC responds the same day, often within the hour. 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.
A pipe burst in my older Farmington home. What should I do first?
Shut off the main water supply, usually near the water meter in the basement. Then shut off power to the affected area if outlets or the panel are near standing water. Then call. The water keeps spreading until the source is closed.
Why do pipes burst in older Farmington homes?
Pipes running through exterior walls built before modern insulation freeze first during a cold snap. Water expands as it freezes and splits the line. The break often goes unnoticed until the ice thaws and the pipe starts flooding.
How long does water damage restoration take in a Farmington home?
Drying takes 3 to 7 days. Extraction happens on the first visit, usually within a few hours. Saturated material is removed next. Then air movers and commercial dehumidifiers run continuously until moisture readings confirm the framing and subfloor are dry, not just the surface.
Does homeowners insurance cover a burst pipe in Farmington?
Sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe, 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.
My basement takes on water when the Rouge River is high. What can be done?
Groundwater rising with the river is a different problem than a plumbing failure. We extract the water and dry the structure, and we identify whether the entry point is foundation seepage, a failed sump pump, or both, so you know what you are dealing with.
