Green Bay up close
Green Bay's winters test every pipe in an older house. NOAA climate normals record 157 nights a year at or below 32 degrees, 81 at or below 20 and 66 days that never rise above freezing, with 56 inches of snow. Census figures show 67% of homes were built before 1980 and 20% before 1950, so many have basements, older supply lines and pipes running along exterior walls. A line that freezes and splits in January often shows up as water in the basement at the thaw, and burst pipe cleanup there usually means drying block walls, framing and stored belongings.
The city files flood claims more often than Brown County. FEMA flood insurance records show 1.7 claims per 1,000 homes from 2016 to 2025, against 1.0 for the county, with an average building payment of $14,833. Snowmelt and spring rain push water against foundations, yet only 0.6% of county homes carry federal flood insurance. With 44% of homes rented, tenants and landlords should settle early who calls for help. Green Bay is served with the Appleton area.

Before the crew arrives in Green Bay
Green Bay has 157 nights a year at or below 32 degrees and 81 at or below 20, by NOAA's count. When a pipe splits, close the main shutoff right away, usually on the basement wall near the meter.
Cut the basement power before you step into water. Photograph the break and the damage. Thaw any frozen section with warm air, never a flame, and open faucets to drain the lines.
With 67% of homes built before 1980 and 44% rented, a leak often involves an older rental. If you rent, put the report to your landlord in writing. Move what you can upstairs. The call sets up water removal, and carpet drying follows if the pad is still sound. The line is answered 24/7, through the whole winter.
