What drying runs into in Richton Park
Serving Richton Park and the surrounding area, including Timber Ridge.
Local housing stock
Roughly 4,307 of Richton Park's 5,772 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1978; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1978 with three quarters of the stock older, the standard plan puts the lower floor only partly below ground with proper windows along it, so that space was finished, furnished and used exactly like the rest of the house.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Richton Park gets 42.1 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.91, and the drying season runs from a 23.2-degree January to a 73.9-degree July; both figures recorded at PARK FOREST, 3.4 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.91 inches of a 42-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain comes as summer storms that arrive faster than the ground can take them; a floor half below grade is at the level that reaches.
How water losses tend to end in Richton Park
- Living space at the lowest level, so a loss there is carpet and furniture rather than storage
- Windows partly below the outside ground, so there is glass at the level water runs at
- A room that does not feel like a basement, so nothing in it was chosen with water in mind
