What drying runs into in Joliet
Serving Joliet and the surrounding area, including Raynor Park, Lidice, Fairmont.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Joliet were built and the answer is 1985 at the median, 52.6 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1985 with just over half the stock older, the supply has been moved from deep wells to a treated surface source, which alters the chemistry running through plumbing that has been in the ground for decades.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 4.77 of the 40.22 inches Joliet 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 JOLIET 2.9 WNW 2.2 miles away and temperatures at JOLIET BRANDON RD DAM 2.5 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.77 inches of a 40-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the weather here is ordinary; these failures have nothing to do with it and arrive regardless of the season.
How water losses tend to end in Joliet
- Pipe conditioned to one water meeting another, so the scale inside it changes
- Failures arriving in numbers rather than singly, so several houses go at once
- A cause outside the building entirely, so nothing about the house explains it
