What drying runs into in Crest Hill
Serving Crest Hill and the surrounding area, including Lidice, Raynor Park.
Local housing stock
The typical Crest Hill house dates to 1992, with about half of the stock (46.7 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1990s work. Around a median of 1992 with under half the stock older, the newer houses have finished lower levels with an escape opening, and the well outside it is a gravel-filled box held tight against the foundation, so the wall at that point has saturated stone against its outside face.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 41.14 inches, 4.81 of them in May, against a warm season that peaks at 74.6 degrees in July; both figures recorded at ROMEOVILLE WFO, 2.5 miles away. Five months with lows below freezing put the split season from November into March, and the May rain peak lands when the ground around a foundation is at its wettest from the thaw; a well full of gravel at that time of year holds water against the wall for weeks.
How water losses tend to end in Crest Hill
- Escape wells packed with gravel against the foundation, so one section of wall has a saturated reservoir on its outside face
- Finished lower levels with board and insulation against that same wall, so the wettest point is also the most enclosed
- A May peak straight after the thaw, so the ground is already loaded when the heaviest rain of the year arrives
