What drying runs into in South Holland
Serving South Holland and the surrounding area, including Greenwood, Berger.
Local housing stock
The typical South Holland house dates to 1966, with close to nine in ten of the stock (88.2 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1960s work. Around a median of 1966 with nearly nine in ten houses older, the village was market gardening country before it was suburban, worked on deep black organic soil that had been drained for the purpose.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 73.9 degrees against 23.2; the 41.46 inches a year peak in June at 5.06, rain recorded at HOMEWOOD 0.1 ESE 4.1 miles away and temperatures at PARK FOREST 8.2 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.06 inches of a 41-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the ground cycles between saturated and drained each year; organic soil loses volume every time it dries.
How water losses tend to end in South Holland
- Organic soil that oxidizes away, so the ground continues to drop decades later
- Settlement that is uneven, so one part of a building goes down faster than another
- Buried drainage from the farming era, so old tile still runs under the streets
