Local conditions
After the last glacier retreated, glacial Lake Oshkosh covered much of the Fox River lowland, which stretches from Green Bay to Portage, and left behind red, clay-rich silt and clay sediment. That fine-grained soil is relatively impermeable, so water that can't soak in has to go somewhere, and sometimes that's toward a foundation.
