My Charlotte LLC is based on West Main Street in Northville and responds across Westland. Brian Olszewski leads every job himself.Westland is one of the larger cities in Wayne County and one of the most varied. It grew through the 1950s and 1960s, then kept adding housing for decades after, so a single neighborhood can hold a postwar ranch, a 1970s colonial, and a 1990s build within a few blocks of each other. Each one fails differently, and each one needs something different from whoever shows up.What they share is the ground underneath. Heavy clay that holds water against foundations, and a stormwater system that struggles when the rain comes hard and fast.

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 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.

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.

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.
Westland housing spans forty years of construction, and a crew that treats every basement the same misses things. A 1955 ranch with a corroded supply line and a 1995 colonial with a finished lower level are not the same job, and the material that has to come out is different in each.
We assess what actually failed before anything gets pulled. Brian leads the job and stays on the drying until the moisture readings say the structure is dry. Drying takes 3 to 7 days, and we do not pull equipment early because the floor feels dry.

Here are answers to common questions about our restoration services.

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.
Clay soil and the sump pump. The clay holds water against the foundation instead of draining it away, so the pump becomes the only thing keeping the basement dry. When it quits, the check valve fails, or the discharge line clogs, the water comes in.
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
Find out what failed the first time. A sump pump past its service life, a check valve that stopped closing, a clogged discharge line, or foundation seepage that has been worsening for years. My Charlotte LLC identifies the cause so you can address it before the next storm.
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.
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.
