What drying runs into in Libertyville
Serving Libertyville and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 6,237 of Libertyville's 7,925 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1976; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1976 with nearly eight in ten predating 1990, a good share of this housing is framed with open-web floor trusses rather than solid joists, which leaves a continuous open space inside the floor structure from one end of the building to the other.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Libertyville gets 38.61 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.61, and the drying season runs from a 21.2-degree January to a 72.2-degree July; rain recorded at LAKE BLUFF 1.3 W 4.6 miles away and temperatures at MUNDELEIN 4 WSW 6 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.61 inches of a 38.61-inch year and five months average lows below freezing, so nearly every loss here begins inside the house; where it goes after that is decided by the floor it lands in.
How water losses tend to end in Libertyville
- No blocking between bays, so water crosses the whole floor rather than staying in one
- Damage showing up in a room with no plumbing in it, several rooms from the source
- Insulation, ducts and wiring running through the same open space, all of it in the water's path
