What drying runs into in Champaign
Serving Champaign and the surrounding area, including Belle Meade, Holiday Park, Kenwood, Greencroft, Meadow Park, Green Meadow, Garden Hills, Lincolnshire.
Local housing stock
Roughly 23,161 of Champaign's 41,299 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1985; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. The median house dates to 1985 and just over half the stock predates 1990, mostly frame with poured basements, so a basement loss wets the framed partition walls, the carpet and pad, and any pressed-board storage standing on the floor.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 4.8 of the 40.82 inches Champaign sees in a normal year, and July averages 75.2 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at CHAMPAIGN 0.6 NNE 0.8 miles away and temperatures at CHAMPAIGN 3S 2.8 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.8 inches and January lows average near 18 degrees across four months below freezing, so a summer basement job fights humid air while a winter split line runs in a house that is already dry inside.
How water losses tend to end in Champaign
- Framed basement partitions holding water in the bottom plate, so the wall is opened low rather than dried at the face
- Storage left on a wet basement floor, so cardboard and pressed board wick water back into finished surfaces
- Summer humidity stalling a basement job that the same house would shed quickly in February
