Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Flossmoor were built and the answer is 1969 at the median, 74.7 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1969 with three quarters of the stock older, a good share of the houses were built with radiant heating cable laid into the ceiling plaster rather than a furnace and ducts, which makes the ceiling of every room a working part of the system.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 5.06 of the 41.46 inches Flossmoor sees in a normal year, and July averages 73.9 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at HOMEWOOD 0.1 ESE 1.9 miles away and temperatures at PARK FOREST 3.1 miles away. June is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-one inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heating runs hard for nearly half the year; a wet ceiling in that stretch is a wet heating element as well as a wet finish.
How water losses tend to end in Flossmoor
- Heating cable buried in the ceiling, so a wet ceiling is an electrical question before it is a drying one
- No ductwork anywhere in the building, so there is no system to move air toward a wet assembly
- A ceiling that cannot simply be cut out, because the heating for the room is inside it
