The old Town of Menasha was organized in 1855. Residents west of Little Lake Butte des Morts voted to incorporate in 2016, and later that year the rest of the town joined, ending the Town of Menasha for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Water defines the village. Fox Crossing sits at the north end of Lake Winnebago, and the Fox River widens into Little Lake Butte des Morts as it passes through. Fritse Park on the lake’s western shore is the trailhead for the Fox Cities Trestle Trail, which crosses the water to Menasha. The village wraps partly around the City of Menasha and borders Appleton, Neenah, Harrison, Clayton, Greenville and Grand Chute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That layout shapes the calls we get. Lakeside homes can take wind-driven rain and high water. Businesses along the US 10 corridor, where the tornado did heavy damage, can face roof leaks and long cleanups. Homes farther inland face the usual Wisconsin mix of frozen pipes, sump failures and sewer backups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On July 27, 2026, the EF3 tornado that formed near Appleton caused some of its worst damage in Fox Crossing and Menasha, including heavily damaged businesses near Highway 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re PuroClean of Appleton, locally owned and operated by Osagie Enodunmwenben, with IICRC-certified technicians and EPA Lead-Safe Certified credentials. Need restoration services Fox Crossing can count on? Call Now for Fast Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We handle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fox Crossing sits just south and southwest of Appleton, so it’s an easy run from our west side shop. Our truck leaves loaded with pumps, air movers, dehumidifiers, moisture meters and tarps. That way the first visit can include real work, not just an estimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For homes and businesses near American Drive and the Tri-County Expressway, we usually take Interstate 41 south or pick up US 10 and WIS 441, the expressway that crosses Little Lake Butte des Morts on the Roland Kampo Memorial Bridge. For neighborhoods near the Menasha line, Appleton Road (WIS 47) and South Oneida Street are direct routes from the Appleton side. Midway Road and County CB help us reach homes on the western and northern parts of the village, where streets are spread out around the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Storm days change the routing. After the July tornado, downed trees and power lines slowed responders in parts of Menasha and the surrounding area. So we confirm street access with you before we leave, and we ask about power, gas smells and safe entry points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also ask whether the roof is open. If it is, we bring tarps and plastic so we can stop more rain from getting in while we start drying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because this is a short trip, restoration services Fox Crossing customers request start quickly, with gear already on board. Call Now for Fast Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fox Crossing damage usually traces back to three things: its lakeshore location, severe summer storms, and long Wisconsin winters. Each one calls for a slightly different cleanup plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Water covers a real share of the village. Census Bureau figures put about 1.7 of its 13.9 square miles under water. Homes near Little Lake Butte des Morts and Lake Winnebago can feel wind-driven rain and high water during storms. Outdoor floodwater that enters a home is Category 3, meaning grossly contaminated, so porous materials it touched usually come out. Check mapped zones with the FEMA Flood Map Service Center for Fox Crossing, Wisconsin<\/a>, and remember a map is not a guarantee for one address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Severe storms are the big headline. The National Weather Service summary of the July 27, 2026 storms<\/a> describes an EF3 tornado with peak winds near 140 mph that moved south through Fox Crossing and Menasha. Even homes outside the worst path can end up with loose shingles, broken windows or water in the attic. Small roof leaks soak insulation quietly, and wet insulation can stay damp long after the ceiling looks dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Winter brings its own risks. Pipes in exterior walls, garages and crawl spaces can freeze and split, and ice dams can push meltwater under shingles. A split pipe often leaks most after it thaws, so water can spread for hours before anyone sees it. If your home was built before 1980, we test suspect materials before removing anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mold follows moisture. The EPA mold guidance<\/a> explains why fixing the water source comes first and why larger mold areas, roughly more than 10 square feet, are a job for a professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We follow IICRC methods, the industry’s widely used standards: stop the source, extract, clean by category, and dry to measured goals. A standard homeowners policy usually excludes flood, so lakeshore owners should review options through FloodSmart<\/a>.
