What drying runs into in Arlington Heights
Serving Arlington Heights and the surrounding area, including Scarsdale.
Local housing stock
Only 18.4 percent of Arlington Heights's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1974 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1974 with more than eight in ten houses older, the roofs have been replaced at least once and a continuous vent was cut in at the ridge, while the soffits below were left full of insulation pushed up into them.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 37.33 inches, 4.68 of them in June, against a warm season that peaks at 74.9 degrees in July; rain recorded at PALATINE 1.3 E 2.2 miles away and temperatures at CHICAGO PALWAUKEE AP 4.3 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.68 inches of a 37-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heating runs hard for a long season; an attic that cannot exchange air holds everything the house sends up into it.
How water losses tend to end in Arlington Heights
- An outlet with no inlet, so the ventilation does not work despite looking complete
- Moist air held in the attic all winter, so it condenses on the underside of the deck
- A roof that was recently done, so nobody suspects the ventilation of being the problem
