What drying runs into in Hammond
Serving Hammond and the surrounding area, including Roxana, Central Hammond, North Hammond, Jacobs Square, East Hammond, Douglas Pointe, Old Downtown, Harrison Park.
Local housing stock
The typical Hammond house dates to 1952, with close to nine in ten of the stock (92.5 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1950s work. Around a median of 1952 with more than nine in ten houses older, the city is built across a series of ancient beach ridges left by a larger lake, with low wet ground in the strips between each ridge.
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 40.31 inches a year peak in June at 4.77, rain recorded at LANSING 5.8 miles away and temperatures at PARK FOREST 12.9 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.77 inches of a 40-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain comes in early summer; on a ridge it drains away through sand, and in a hollow it has nowhere to go.
How water losses tend to end in Hammond
- Two quite different situations within a few streets, so neighbors' experience does not transfer
- Houses in the hollows sitting at the water table, so their basements are wet as a normal condition
- Sand ridges draining into the hollows, so the low ground receives from the high ground beside it
