What drying runs into in Countryside
Serving Countryside and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 27.2 percent of Countryside's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1975 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1975 with nearly three quarters predating 1990, the houses are frame over full basements finished as living space, and where a bathroom was added below the sewer line it drains to a pit with a pump, which is the one fitting in the house whose failure is never clean water.
Climate & seasonal risk
5 months in Countryside have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 14.7 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in May at 4.78 inches of an annual 38.71; rain recorded at BRIDGEVIEW 1.3 NNW 3.3 miles away and temperatures at LITTLE RED SCHOOL HSE 4.5 miles away. Five months with lows below freezing run the split season from November into March, and the furnace running through it keeps the indoor air dry enough to help a great deal; May is the wettest month, when the basement floor is still cold and ventilation would only condense onto it.
How water losses tend to end in Countryside
- Ejector pits serving lower-level bathrooms, so a pump failure puts contaminated water across a finished floor rather than clean water
- Finished basements with carpet and board to the floor, so a contaminated loss removes material rather than drying it
- The lowest point of the house being the finished part, so the worst category of loss lands on the best finishes
