What drying runs into in Fairmont
Serving Fairmont and the surrounding area, including Palatine, Bellview.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Fairmont were built and the answer is 1951 at the median, 89.4 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1951 with nearly nine in ten houses older, the basement floors were laid as a thin slab over whatever rubble was to hand rather than over a graded stone bed, so the concrete is shallow, uneven and sitting directly on loose material.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Fairmont gets 47.77 inches a year with May heaviest at 5.09, and the drying season runs from a 31.8-degree January to a 73.6-degree July; both figures recorded at FAIRMONT, 1.5 miles away. May is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-eight inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in a warm spring; a thin slab over rubble takes that rising ground water across its whole face rather than at any one point.
How water losses tend to end in Fairmont
- A thin slab over loose rubble, so ground water reaches the underside of the floor everywhere at once
- Water arriving across the whole area, so there is no crack to trace and nothing local to repair
- A floor that cannot be sealed usefully, so the water is managed rather than excluded
