What drying runs into in Zion
Serving Zion and the surrounding area, including Harbor Ridge, Horizon Village, Westside Hills, Brighton Ponds, Sunset Ridge, Lorelei Acres, Countrywood Acres, Chestnut Trails.
Local housing stock
Only 26.9 percent of Zion's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1971 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. The median house dates to 1971 and nearly three quarters predate 1990, frame construction over poured basements, so a winter line failure in an exterior wall wets the cavity, the insulation and the bottom plate before it shows on the finished side.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 35.3 inches, 4.45 of them in June, against a warm season that peaks at 71.6 degrees in July; both figures recorded at CHICAGO WAUKEGAN RGNL AP, 3.1 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.45 inches and the year totals 35.3, with five months below freezing and January lows near 16 degrees, so the freeze window is long and a split line can run behind a wall for hours before anyone is home to find it.
How water losses tend to end in Zion
- Supply lines splitting in exterior wall cavities during the long freeze, so the wall is opened from inside to reach the insulation
- Batt insulation staying wet behind drywall that looks sound, so the cavity is read rather than judged by the face
- Water tracking along the bottom plate into rooms that never showed a stain
