Water Damage Restoration in Farmington Hills, MI
Our Company
Water Damage Restoration for Farmington Hills Homes and Businesses
My Charlotte LLC is based on West Main Street in Northville and responds across Farmington Hills. Brian Olszewski leads every job himself.Farmington Hills is nothing like the small city it surrounds. It is one of the largest municipalities in Oakland County, thirty three square miles of subdivisions built out through the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, on rolling terrain with houses set on larger lots. The basements here are big, they are usually finished, and they are usually full.
That scale changes the job. When a sump pump fails in a 2,500 square foot finished lower level, the water spreads across far more material than it would in a small postwar house, and the difference between arriving in an hour and arriving in six is measured in rooms.

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 Hills
On Call 24/7 Emergency Response
Drying a large finished basement properly takes more equipment and more days than drying a small one, and that is where the shortcuts happen. Not enough air movers for the square footage. Equipment pulled after three days because the crew is needed at the next job. The floor feels dry, the homeowner is satisfied, and the moisture is still sitting in framing across half the lower level.
Brian stays on the drying until the readings say the structure is dry, not until the schedule says so. Drying takes 3 to 7 days, and on a larger basement it is usually the full seven.

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 Hills?
My Charlotte LLC responds the same day, often within the hour. We are based on West Main Street in Northville. Water spreads across a large finished basement quickly, so arrival time directly determines how many rooms are affected.
How long does it take to dry a large finished basement?
Drying takes 3 to 7 days, and larger basements usually take the full seven. Square footage determines how many air movers and dehumidifiers are needed. We take moisture readings daily and do not pull equipment until the framing and subfloor are dry.
Why does my Farmington Hills basement flood when it rains hard?
The sump pump. Four failures cause almost all of it: the pump cannot keep up with the volume, the power goes out and it stops running, the check valve fails and water flows back in, or the discharge line clogs. My Charlotte LLC identifies which one it was.
Can a finished basement be saved after flooding?
It depends on the water and how fast we arrive. Carpet pad almost always comes out. Clean water caught within 24 to 48 hours means carpet can sometimes be dried in place. Contaminated water means carpet, pad, and drywall are removed. Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours.
Does homeowners insurance cover a flooded basement in Farmington Hills?
Sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe, is typically covered. Surface flooding and sewer backup are typically not, and sump pump failure often requires a separate rider. My Charlotte LLC documents moisture readings and drying logs for your claim.
Will mold grow after a Farmington Hills basement flood?
Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours if the structure is not properly dried. Large finished basements carry the highest risk, because moisture can sit in framing across a wide area behind drywall where nobody can see it.
