What drying runs into in Lincolnwood
Serving Lincolnwood and the surrounding area, including Edgebrook.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Lincolnwood were built and the answer is 1958 at the median, 77.9 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1958 with nearly eight in ten predating 1990, these brick ranch houses carry the detail of their period, a low masonry box built out from the front wall beneath the main window and filled with soil ever since.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 4.77 of the 39.81 inches Lincolnwood sees in a normal year, and July averages 73.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at LINCOLNWOOD 1.8 E 1.8 miles away and temperatures at CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN 9.7 miles away. May is the wettest month at 4.77 inches of a 39.81-inch year and four months average lows below freezing, so the planter holds wet soil against the wall through spring and then freezes solid; the ice in it works at the masonry every winter.
How water losses tend to end in Lincolnwood
- Damp soil held permanently against the outside of a wall by design
- A box with no drainage, so what goes into it stays in it
- Freezing soil expanding inside a masonry container built tight against the house
