What drying runs into in Chicago Heights
Serving Chicago Heights and the surrounding area, including Indian Hill, Holbrook, Graymoor.
Local housing stock
Only 8.3 percent of Chicago Heights's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1959 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. The median house dates to 1959 and 91.7 percent predate 1990, brick over full basements with the utilities and the floor drain low in the slab, so a backup wets the floor outward from the drain and reaches the base of every framed partition standing on it.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 4.91 of the 42.1 inches Chicago Heights sees in a normal year, and July averages 73.9 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at PARK FOREST, 2.6 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.91 inches and five months sit below freezing with January lows near 15 degrees, so heavy early-summer rain is what loads the system while the heating season provides the dry air to recover in.
How water losses tend to end in Chicago Heights
- Water rising at the basement floor drain rather than entering at a wall, so it spreads outward from the middle of the room
- Category three water reaching porous material, so removal comes before any drying decision
- Utilities and storage standing on the slab where the water rises first, so they come out before drying starts
