Water Damage Restoration in Novi, MI
Our Company
Water Damage Restoration for Novi Homes and Businesses
My Charlotte LLC is based on West Main Street in Northville, which puts Novi minutes away. Brian Olszewski leads every job himself.Novi is newer than most of what we work in. The city grew fast through the 1990s and 2000s, so the housing is largely modern construction on developed lots, with finished basements as standard rather than exceptional. That changes the problem. These are not century old supply lines failing.
These are sump pumps that cannot keep up with a heavy spring storm, and finished lower levels where carpet, drywall, framing, and everything a family stores down there sit directly in the water's path.
A newer house floods just as thoroughly. It just floods for a different reason.

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 Novi
On Call 24/7 Emergency Response
Finished basements are where restoration jobs get cut short. The water gets pumped out, the carpet is pulled, the room looks fine, and the crew moves on. The moisture is still in the framing behind the drywall, and three months later there is mold in a wall nobody opened.
We are minutes from Novi and respond the same day, often within the hour. Brian leads the job and stays on the drying until the readings say the structure is dry. Drying takes 3 to 7 days, and we do not pull equipment early because the floor feels dry.

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 Novi?
My Charlotte LLC responds the same day, often within the hour. We are based on West Main Street in Northville, minutes from Novi. Water moves into drywall, subfloor, and framing within hours, so arrival time determines how much material can be dried instead of removed.
Why does my Novi 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.
How long does water damage restoration take in a Novi 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.
Can a finished basement be saved after flooding in Novi?
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 Novi?
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 Novi basement flood?
Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours if the structure is not properly dried. Finished basements are the highest risk, because moisture sits inside the framing behind drywall where it cannot be seen and the room above looks completely normal.
