What drying runs into in Deerfield
Serving Deerfield and the surrounding area, including Glenbrook Countryside, Del Mar Woods.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Deerfield were built and the answer is 1970 at the median, 66.8 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1970 with two thirds of the stock older, the basements were finished with a suspended grid below the floor structure to keep the pipework reachable, and that ceiling lifts out in minutes; what it does not do is show you anything, because the tiles sit well below the joists they hide.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Deerfield gets 39.29 inches a year with May heaviest at 4.62, and the drying season runs from a 24.3-degree January to a 73.4-degree July; rain recorded at HIGHWOOD 0.9 S 3 miles away and temperatures at CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN 3.9 miles away. May is the wettest month at under five inches of a thirty-nine inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the wet season is mild and the cold season is dry; a basement opened in winter is drying into genuinely dry indoor air, while the same loss in spring gets no help at all.
How water losses tend to end in Deerfield
- A ceiling that lifts out without showing the framing, so the easy access encourages a look rather than a reading
- A void between the tiles and the joists, so water can run the structure above without marking a tile at all
- Grid tiles that sag and stain long after the event, so the visible damage maps to where water dripped rather than where it traveled
