What drying runs into in Peoria
Serving Peoria and the surrounding area, including Metro West, Lake University, Knoll Crest, The Knolls, North Florence, Sunset Hills, Center Bluff, Sterling Oaks.
Local housing stock
The typical Peoria house dates to 1966, with about three quarters of the stock (76.1 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1960s work. Around a median of 1966 with three quarters of the stock older, the drainage leaves each house through a buried lateral of clay or cast iron running out to the street, and after sixty years those joints have opened and roots have found them; the pipe that fails is outside the building entirely.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Peoria gets 39.73 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.7, and the drying season runs from a 25.6-degree January to a 76.3-degree July; rain recorded at PEORIA 5NW 0.2 miles away and temperatures at PEORIA GTR PEORIA AP 6.8 miles away. June is the wettest month at under five inches of a forty inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in early summer when the ground is full and roots are most active; a lateral that is marginal in January is the one that blocks in June.
How water losses tend to end in Peoria
- A failure outside the building, so the repair is excavation in the yard rather than anything indoors
- Drain water backing up at the lowest fixture inside, so the damage and the fault are in completely different places
- A blockage that returns seasonally, so the inside of the house is dried while the cause is still in the ground
