Professional Odor Removal That Protects Your Property
Water damage often creates persistent odors that indicate underlying moisture problems or microbial growth. Musty smells, damp odors, and unpleasant air quality are common after flooding, storm damage, or prolonged water intrusion. My Charlotte LLC provides professional odor removal services that address these problems at the source rather than covering them with fragrances or air fresheners.
Our approach to odor removal begins with identifying the cause of unpleasant smells. Water damage creates conditions where bacteria, mold, and mildew thrive in hidden areas like wall cavities, beneath flooring, and within ductwork. These organisms produce volatile organic compounds that create characteristic musty odors. Simply masking these smells with deodorizers does not solve the problem. Professional odor removal requires eliminating the moisture source, treating affected materials with antimicrobial solutions, and using specialized equipment to neutralize odor causing compounds.
Owner Brian Olszewski personally oversees odor removal projects throughout Metro Detroit. Unlike companies that apply temporary solutions, we take a comprehensive approach that ensures odors do not return. You work with our team under Brian's supervision to receive thorough treatment that addresses both visible damage and hidden moisture problems. This hands on approach ensures your home's air quality is truly restored, not just temporarily improved.

Our Process
How We Restore Your Property Step by Step
Step 1. Inspection and Source Identification
When you contact My Charlotte LLC for odor removal, we begin with thorough inspection to identify the source of unpleasant smells. Our team uses moisture meters, thermal imaging, and visual inspection to locate hidden moisture, detect microbial growth, and identify affected materials. Understanding the root cause allows us to develop an effective treatment plan rather than applying temporary masking solutions.
Step 2. Moisture Elimination
Odors caused by water damage cannot be permanently eliminated until the underlying moisture problem is resolved. We use professional grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture control methods to dry affected areas completely. This step is critical because residual moisture will continue supporting microbial growth and odor production even after treatment.
Step 3. Antimicrobial Treatment
Once moisture is eliminated, we apply professional antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces and materials. These treatments kill bacteria, mold, and mildew that produce odor causing compounds. Our antimicrobial solutions are EPA registered and safe for residential use while being effective against the organisms that create persistent water damage odors.
Step 4. Air Scrubbing and Purificationtation
We use professional air scrubbers with HEPA filtration to remove airborne particles, spores, and odor molecules from your indoor environment. Air scrubbers continuously filter and clean the air, capturing microscopic particles that contribute to poor air quality and lingering smells. This process typically runs for several days to ensure thorough air purification.
Step 5. Deodorization and Final Treatment
After moisture elimination, antimicrobial treatment, and air scrubbing, we apply professional deodorization methods that neutralize remaining odor molecules. These treatments chemically bond with odor causing compounds to eliminate them rather than covering them with fragrances. We conduct a final inspection to confirm odors have been eliminated and your home's air quality has been restored.

F.A.Q
Frequently Asked
Questions
Here are answers to common questions about our restoration services.
What causes odors after water damage?
Odors after water damage are typically caused by bacteria, mold, and mildew growing in damp materials. These organisms produce volatile organic compounds that create characteristic musty, damp, or mildewy smells. Sewage backups introduce additional bacteria and organic materials that produce stronger odors. Eliminating odors requires addressing the underlying moisture and microbial growth.
Can air fresheners eliminate water damage odors?
No, air fresheners and fragrances only mask odors temporarily without addressing the underlying cause. Once the fragrance dissipates, odors return because the moisture and microbial growth remain. Professional odor removal eliminates the source of smells and neutralizes odor causing compounds for permanent results.
How long does odor removal take?
Timelines depend on the severity of odors, the extent of water damage, and moisture levels in affected materials. Simple odor removal may require 2 to 4 days of treatment, while extensive water damage with significant microbial growth can take 5 to 7 days or longer. Complete moisture elimination is essential before odors can be permanently removed.
Will odors return after treatment?
When properly treated, odors should not return. My Charlotte LLC addresses the underlying moisture problem, eliminates microbial growth, and uses professional deodorization methods that permanently neutralize odor molecules. If moisture problems recur, new odors can develop, which is why we ensure complete drying during our restoration process.
Are odor removal treatments safe?
Yes, we use EPA registered antimicrobial treatments and professional deodorization methods that are safe for residential use. Our treatments effectively eliminate odor causing organisms and compounds without creating health hazards for your family or pets. We follow industry safety protocols during all odor removal work.

Do I need odor removal after all water damage?
Not all water damage creates persistent odors, but any situation involving prolonged moisture exposure, flooding, or category two or three water should include professional odor assessment. If you notice musty smells, damp odors, or declining air quality after water damage, professional odor removal ensures the problem is completely addressed rather than allowed to worsen.
