What drying runs into in Glenwood
Serving Glenwood and the surrounding area, including Holbrook.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Glenwood were built and the answer is 1968 at the median, 99 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1968 with essentially the whole stock predating 1990, a great many of these houses have had their basement drainage converted, disconnecting the floor drain from the sewer and routing everything below grade to a pump instead.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 41.46 inches, 5.06 of them in June, against a warm season that peaks at 73.9 degrees in July; rain recorded at HOMEWOOD 0.1 ESE 2.7 miles away and temperatures at PARK FOREST 4.8 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.06 inches of a 41.46-inch year and five months average lows below freezing, so heavy summer storms arrive on a system that has no gravity connection left; whatever the pump cannot handle stays in the basement.
How water losses tend to end in Glenwood
- Drainage below grade depending entirely on a pump and on power
- A conversion done decades ago, with equipment of that age still in place
- A floor drain that looks ordinary but is connected to a pit rather than a sewer
