Professional Flood Damage Restoration That Protects Your Property
Flood damage creates serious challenges for Detroit area homeowners. Whether caused by heavy rain, rapid snow melt, sump pump failure, or sewage backup, flooding requires immediate professional attention. My Charlotte LLC provides comprehensive flood damage restoration with proper water extraction, controlled structural drying, and antimicrobial treatment to protect your home from long term moisture problems.
Flooded basements and living areas cannot be restored with basic cleanup methods. Standing water must be completely extracted, affected materials must be thoroughly dried using commercial equipment, and hidden moisture must be detected and eliminated. Our team uses professional grade air movers, commercial dehumidifiers, moisture meters, and thermal imaging to ensure complete drying. We do not skip steps or rush timelines because improper flood damage restoration leads to mold growth, structural deterioration, and costly future repairs.
Owner Brian Olszewski personally oversees every flood damage restoration project throughout Metro Detroit. Unlike larger restoration companies where you rarely meet the owner, we provide direct owner involvement and complete accountability. You work with our team under Brian's supervision instead of rotating crews or unknown technicians. This hands on approach ensures consistent quality, thorough work, and flood damage restoration that protects your property for the long term.

Our Process
How We Restore Your Property Step by Step
Step 1. Emergency Contact
When you contact My Charlotte LLC for flood damage restoration, we respond quickly to assess the severity of flooding. Our team inspects affected areas, determines the category of water involved, and measures moisture levels using professional moisture meters and thermal imaging. This assessment allows us to develop a comprehensive restoration plan and identify any safety concerns that need immediate attention.
Step 2. Water removal and extraction
All standing water is removed immediately using truck mounted or portable extraction equipment. Flood water often contains debris, contaminants, or sewage that increases health risks and complicates the restoration process. Our professional grade extractors remove water efficiently and thoroughly, including water trapped in carpet padding, beneath flooring, and within wall cavities.
Step 3. Drying and dehumidification
We begin intensive drying using industrial air movers and commercial dehumidifiers strategically positioned throughout flooded areas. Air movers create high velocity airflow that increases evaporation rates while dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air. Flood damage typically affects large areas and requires substantial equipment to achieve proper drying. We monitor conditions continuously and adjust equipment placement to ensure complete moisture removal.
Step 4. Monitoring and Documentation
Throughout the drying process, we monitor moisture levels daily using moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture in walls, floors, and ceilings. This documentation ensures materials are drying properly and allows us to identify any areas requiring additional attention. We do not end the mitigation process until moisture readings confirm your home has returned to normal dry standards.
Step 5. Antimicrobial Treatment and Completion
Once structural drying is complete, we apply antimicrobial treatments and sanitizers to affected areas. Flood water often introduces bacteria, contaminants, and organic materials that create health hazards and odor problems. Our treatment process eliminates these concerns and prevents mold growth. We conduct a final inspection to confirm all moisture has been removed and your home is safe for occupancy or reconstruction.

F.A.Q
Frequently Asked
Questions
Here are answers to common questions about our restoration services.
How quickly should I call after flooding?
Contact us immediately when flooding occurs. Water begins causing structural damage and creating conditions for mold growth within 24 to 48 hours. Fast response allows us to extract water quickly, begin drying, and minimize long term damage to your Detroit area property. Flood situations require urgent professional attention.
Will insurance cover flood damage restoration?
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of flooding. Standard homeowners insurance typically covers sudden internal flooding from burst pipes or appliance failures but may not cover external flooding from heavy rain or rising water. Separate flood insurance covers external flood events. We recommend contacting your insurance company immediately to understand your coverage and begin the claims process.
How long does flood damage restoration take?
Timelines depend on the extent of flooding, affected materials, and moisture levels. Minor basement flooding may require 5 to 7 days of drying, while extensive flooding throughout multiple levels can take 10 to 14 days or longer. We use moisture meters to monitor progress and ensure complete drying before ending the mitigation process.
What equipment is used for flood damage restoration?
We use truck mounted or portable water extractors for complete water removal, industrial air movers to increase airflow and evaporation, commercial dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the air, moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture, and antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold growth and eliminate contamination.
Can flooded materials be saved?
Some materials can be saved through proper drying and treatment, while others require replacement. Hardwood flooring, drywall, insulation, and carpet padding are often damaged beyond repair by flooding. We assess each situation and provide honest recommendations about what can be restored versus what needs replacement to ensure your home is safe and properly restored.
