Wet Basement & Leak Repair in Oshkosh, WI

Soil and water in Oshkosh

Glacial Lake Oshkosh inundated most of Winnebago County and coated much of it with fine-grained clay and silt, and many low-lying areas are wetlands because of that relatively impermeable soil and very low relief.

Oshkosh is on the west shore of Lake Winnebago where the Fox River enters it, and it's the Winnebago County seat.

Common wet basement & leak repair calls

• Water seeping where the wall meets the floor
• Leaks through wall cracks or tie-rod holes
• Water coming in around pipes or windows
• Puddles after every storm

Not every wet basement needs a full system. Sometimes the fix is gutters, downspout extensions or regrading. Ask whoever inspects to explain the source of the water before recommending work.
