About Oshkosh Water Recovery
Emergency Water Extraction Rooted in Oshkosh
Mike Schroeder started Oshkosh Water Recovery from his base at 2604 S Washburn St to handle emergency water extraction calls across Winnebago County. With deep local roots in Oshkosh, he focuses on the older housing stock found in Downtown and Northwest neighborhoods where aging pipes and basements meet the humid continental climate's heavy spring thaws and sudden summer storms.
The work changes with the seasons here. Cold snowy winters often bring frozen lines and ice dams near the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh campus and around the Oshkosh Public Museum, while warm months send runoff through low-lying yards. Mike keeps equipment ready for those patterns and travels the short routes to Fond du Lac and Green Bay when neighboring crews need backup on larger residential jobs.
- Owner Mike Schroeder personally manages every emergency water extraction from the Washburn Street location.
- Equipment sized for the tight basements and narrow lots common in Downtown and Northwest Oshkosh.
- Rapid response routes planned around Winnebago County roads that flood or ice over during seasonal shifts.
- Coordination with local restoration crews that serve both Oshkosh and the Fond du Lac to Green Bay corridor.
- Straightforward walkthroughs that show moisture readings and drying timelines before work begins.
How it works
What to expect, start to finish
Rapid Dispatch From Washburn Street
When a call comes in from Downtown Oshkosh or Northwest neighborhoods, the crew leaves the 2604 S Washburn St base right away and drives routes that account for winter snow or summer humidity affecting travel times across Winnebago County.
On-Site Water Removal
Technicians assess older housing stock common near the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and the Oshkosh Public Museum, then extract standing water before it migrates into basements or crawl spaces during spring thaws or heavy summer rains.
Drying With Climate-Adjusted Equipment
Portable drying units run longer in the humid continental conditions that trap moisture after cold snowy winters, targeting hidden pockets in walls and floors of homes between Oshkosh and nearby Fond du Lac or Green Bay.
Final Walk-Through and Clearance
Once moisture readings drop to safe levels, the team reviews every room with the homeowner and leaves the property ready for any follow-up repairs needed in Winnebago County structures.

What Oshkosh, WI Customers Say
“A burst pipe in my basement near the Fox River left six inches of water. Oshkosh Water Recovery arrived within an hour, pumped everything out, and ran dehumidifiers for 48 hours. The subfloor dried without warping and I avoided mold in the joists.”
“Heavy spring rain flooded my crawlspace under the house off Algoma. They extracted the water the same afternoon, placed air movers, and checked moisture levels in the insulation. It took three days total but the wooden beams stayed sound.”
“Sewer backup from the main line filled my lower level on Oregon Street with contaminated water. The crew removed the water, sanitized the concrete, and dried the walls overnight. My furnace and electrical panels were unaffected once power was restored.”
