About Oshkosh Water Response
Dave Larson runs Oshkosh Water Response from its base at 2601 S Washburn St, handling emergency water extraction calls across Winnebago County. He grew up in Oshkosh and knows the older housing stock in Downtown and Northwest neighborhoods, where basements often sit close to the water table and older plumbing meets the first hard freezes of the season.
Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles that crack lines in homes near the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and the Oshkosh Public Museum, while summer storms can overwhelm older storm sewers. Dave keeps equipment ready for both the sudden pipe bursts after a cold snap and the slower groundwater seepage that shows up in low-lying blocks between here and Fond du Lac or Green Bay.
The company stays small so the owner stays on every job, giving direct answers on what can be saved and what needs removal instead of handing crews off to dispatchers from out of town.

What Oshkosh, WI Customers Say
“A pipe burst in my basement laundry area during a cold snap, sending water across the concrete floor and into the storage room. Oshkosh Water Response arrived the same afternoon, extracted the standing water with their truck-mounted system, and placed industrial dehumidifiers that ran for three days. The floor dried completely and I avoided any musty smell or damage to boxes stored down there.”
“Heavy rain backed up the storm drain behind my house and water seeped through the foundation wall into the finished basement rec room. They removed the water, cut out the wet carpet padding, and ran air movers along the baseboards for 48 hours. The drywall stayed intact and the room was ready for furniture again within a week.”
“My water heater failed overnight and flooded the utility closet plus part of the attached garage. The crew pumped everything out, dried the subfloor, and checked under the water heater platform so no hidden moisture remained. I was able to replace the heater the next day without any lingering dampness in the walls.”
