Water Damage Restoration in Southfield, MI
Our Company
Water Damage Restoration for Southfield Homes and Businesses
My Charlotte LLC is based on West Main Street in Northville and responds across Southfield. Brian Olszewski leads every job himself.Southfield is the closest thing Oakland County has to a second downtown. The office towers along the Northwestern Highway corridor make it one of the largest business centers in the region, and behind that commercial core sit residential neighborhoods built out through the 1950s and 1960s, with the same aging plumbing and clay soil as everywhere else in this part of the state.
That mix means two very different kinds of call. A basement in a postwar home taking on water during a storm, and a burst supply line on the fourth floor of an office building that has to be dry before Monday morning.

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 Southfield
On Call 24/7 Emergency Response
In a commercial building, every day the space stays wet is a day the business is not operating. That pressure is real, and it is exactly why drying gets cut short. Equipment comes out early, the carpet feels dry, the tenants come back, and the moisture is still in the subfloor and the wall cavities.
We work to get the space back in use quickly, but we do not call it dry until the readings say it is dry. Drying takes 3 to 7 days. Brian monitors the readings throughout and provides the documentation, which matters when a building owner, a tenant, and an insurer are all involved.

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 Southfield?
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.
How quickly can a flooded office space be back in use?
Extraction happens on the first visit, usually within a few hours, and the space can often be occupied while drying continues. Full structural drying takes 3 to 7 days. My Charlotte LLC works around the operating schedule where possible rather than closing the space for the full period.
A pipe burst on an upper floor of my Southfield building. What now?
The water has traveled down through the ceiling cavity, the insulation, and likely the walls below. We map the moisture across every affected floor, remove saturated material including ceiling tiles and drywall, and dry the structure. Multiple floors usually need to be assessed.
How long does water damage restoration take in a Southfield 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.
Does insurance cover commercial water damage in Southfield?
Sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe, is typically covered under a commercial property policy. Business interruption coverage, if you carry it, is separate. My Charlotte LLC provides moisture readings, drying logs, and documentation for both the property claim and the interruption claim.
Will mold grow after water damage in a commercial building?
Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours if the structure is not properly dried. In a commercial space it becomes a health concern for every occupant, which is why drying to verified readings matters more than getting the space open a day sooner.
