Oshkosh homes and water damage
Older homes near downtown have basements. Many older Oshkosh homes near downtown and the university are early-1900s houses with stone basements, plaster walls and aging plumbing, and many near UW-Oshkosh are rentals. Long, cold winters freeze pipes in exterior walls and unheated spaces, and homes near Lake Winnebago and the Fox River face high water during spring snowmelt.
