What drying runs into in Frankfort
Serving Frankfort and the surrounding area, including Lincolnwood Hills, Arbury Hills.
Local housing stock
Only 65.5 percent of Frankfort's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1999 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 1999 and only a third of the stock predating 1990, the basements were dug deeper than the older standard to give a usable ceiling height below, which puts more wall below ground and more soil bearing against it.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 4.71 of the 40.79 inches Frankfort 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 NEW LENOX 3.3 E 2.6 miles away and temperatures at PARK FOREST 9.9 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.71 inches of a 41-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the ground loads up in early summer and freezes solid each winter; a taller wall takes more of both, and the pressure is greatest at its base.
How water losses tend to end in Frankfort
- More wall below ground, so the load on it and the water against it are both greater
- A deeper excavation, so the floor sits closer to whatever water is in the ground
- Finished space at that depth, so the lowest and wettest part of the house is a living room
