What drying runs into in Oak Park
Serving Oak Park and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 12,322 of Oak Park's 13,091 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1958; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1958 with 94 percent of the stock older, a considerable part of the housing was built in the modern manner with a low-slope roof rather than a pitched one, on houses that are otherwise ordinary suburban ranches.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 34.89 inches, 3.69 of them in May, against a warm season that peaks at 73.8 degrees in July; both figures recorded at DEARBORN #2, 8.2 miles away. May is the wettest month at 3.69 inches of a 35-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the roof carries snow for months at a time; a slope this shallow holds the pack rather than shedding it.
How water losses tend to end in Oak Park
- Snow held on the roof all winter, so the load and the meltwater both stay put
- A covering with seams rather than laps, so the weak points are joints not fixings
- No attic above the ceiling, so a failure lands on finished board directly
