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-operated means Mike shows up on every extraction, explains the drying process on site, and leaves the property ready for the next steps without layers of office staff. That direct approach fits the practical needs of Oshkosh homeowners who want clear answers and visible progress during an emergency water removal.
Growing up near the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, I started Oshkosh Water Recovery after dealing with repeated basement floods in my Northwest neighborhood home during the cold snowy winters. I handle emergency water extraction for older houses in Downtown Oshkosh and across Winnebago County, where melting snow and summer humidity create different problems on the ground, and I often assist properties toward Fond du Lac and Green Bay. Operating from 2604 S Washburn St, I know how these seasonal shifts affect water removal in the local housing stock around landmarks like the Oshkosh Public Museum.

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.”
