Local housing stock
50.8 percent of Normal's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1989, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. With the median build year at 1989 the stock divides between older frame houses and newer subdivisions sheathed and decked in oriented strand board, and that material is the difference: plywood and plank come back from a soaking, strand board swells at the edges and loses its bond.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 38.54 inches, 4.48 of them in May, against a warm season that peaks at 74.5 degrees in July; rain recorded at BLOOMINGTON WTR WKS 1.7 miles away and temperatures at NORMAL 4NE 3 miles away. Five months with lows below freezing put the split season from November into March, and the May rain peak lands on flat ground that holds water at the surface; the heating season is when a job moves fastest, because the indoor air is dry and the building is sealed anyway.
How water losses tend to end in Normal
- Strand board sheathing and decking swelling at the edges once wet, so panels are replaced rather than dried back
- Newer subdivisions built to one specification, so the same panel fails the same way across a street after the same kind of loss
- Older frame houses on the same blocks with plank and plywood, so two neighboring losses have completely different outcomes
