Our Company
Water Damage Restoration for Plymouth Homes and Businesses
My Charlotte LLC is based on West Main Street in Northville, a few minutes from Plymouth. Brian Olszewski leads every job himself.Plymouth is really two towns in one. There is the old city, with homes near downtown that date back generations and still run original supply lines through the walls. Those are the January calls, when a cold snap freezes a pipe in an exterior wall and it splits while nobody is home.
Then there is Plymouth Township, which built out later, where the housing is newer and the basements are finished. Those are the spring calls, when heavy rain overwhelms a sump pump and a family room takes on water.
Same city, two completely different failures.

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 Plymouth
On Call 24/7 Emergency Response
An older Plymouth home and a newer township build fail in opposite ways, and they need different things from the person who shows up. A frozen pipe in a plaster wall is not the same job as a flooded finished basement, and treating them the same is how material gets missed.
We are minutes from Plymouth and respond the same day, often within the hour. Brian assesses what actually failed before anything gets pulled out, then 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.

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 Plymouth?
My Charlotte LLC responds the same day, often within the hour. We are based on West Main Street in Northville, minutes from Plymouth. 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 Plymouth home. What should I do first?
Shut off the main water supply, usually located 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.
How long does water damage restoration take in a Plymouth 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.
Why do pipes freeze and burst in Plymouth homes?
Pipes running through exterior walls, unheated crawl spaces, and uninsulated basements freeze first during a Michigan cold snap. Water expands as it freezes and splits the pipe. The break often goes unnoticed until the ice thaws and the line starts flooding.
Does homeowners insurance cover a burst pipe in Plymouth?
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.
Will mold grow after a basement flood in Plymouth?
Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours if the structure is not properly dried. Finished basements carry the highest risk, because moisture sits inside the framing behind drywall where nobody can see it and the room looks normal.
