What drying runs into in Kankakee
Serving Kankakee and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 5.2 percent of Kankakee's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1956 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1956 with nearly 95 percent of the stock older, the town sits where the river has scoured down to bedrock, so the rock lies close under the neighborhoods on either bank.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 5.21 of the 41.66 inches Kankakee sees in a normal year, and July averages 74.8 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at KANKAKEE METRO WASTEWATER, 2.6 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.21 inches of a 42-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives in early summer; a river on a rock bed rises quickly because nothing soaks into its bed.
How water losses tend to end in Kankakee
- Rock close beneath the houses, so there is very little soil to absorb anything
- A river that responds fast, so the level moves within hours of the rain
- Water traveling along the rock surface, so it arrives at a basement from the side
