What drying runs into in Orland Park
Serving Orland Park and the surrounding area, including Alpine, Fernway Park.
Local housing stock
Only 47 percent of Orland Park's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1989 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1989 with about half the stock older, the houses were built with an irrigation system whose valves and manifold sit in a plastic box set into the lawn rather than on the wall, which puts a set of connections below ground level near the building.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 4.62 of the 41.21 inches Orland Park sees in a normal year, and July averages 76.8 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at PALOS PARK 1.3 SW 3.1 miles away and temperatures at LITTLE RED SCHOOL HSE 7 miles away. May is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty-one inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the system is charged in spring just as the ground is at its wettest; a valve that failed over the winter delivers into soil that has no capacity for it.
How water losses tend to end in Orland Park
- Valves and connections in a buried box, so a failure discharges into the ground rather than into the air
- A box that fills and hides the leak, so nothing appears on the surface however long it runs
- A system charged in spring after a freeze season, so failures arrive when the ground is fullest
