What drying runs into in Mundelein
Serving Mundelein and the surrounding area, including Orchard Meadows, Diamond Lake, The Townes at Oak Creek, Sylvan Lake.
Local housing stock
The typical Mundelein house dates to 1985, with close to three fifths of the stock (59 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1980s work. The median house dates to 1985 and just under six in ten predate 1990, frame over poured basements with perimeter drains and sump pits, so a pump failure puts water in at the floor and the finished partitions take it up from the plate.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 4.57 of the 38.45 inches Mundelein sees in a normal year, and July averages 72.2 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at MUNDELEIN 4 WSW, 3.4 miles away. May is the wettest month at 4.57 inches out of 38.45 for the year, with five months below freezing and January lows near 14 degrees, so spring rain on a thawing water table is what tests the system.
How water losses tend to end in Mundelein
- Sump pump failures during the spring rise, so water enters at the floor rather than the wall
- Perimeter drain systems that mask a high water table until the pump stops
- Finished partitions standing on the slab, wicking upward from the plate
