Local conditions in Oak Forest
Serving Oak Forest and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
About three quarters of the housing here predates 1990 — 76.8 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1975. Brick and frame ranches and split-levels on full basements, a median year of 1975, and 76.8 percent of the stock standing before 1990.
Climate & seasonal risk
The nearest long-term record — HOMEWOOD 0.1 ESE, 5.9 miles out — puts the annual normal at 41.46 inches, with June heaviest at 5.06. June leads at 5.06 inches of a 41.46 inch year, so the heaviest rain arrives in early summer on ground that is already carrying spring moisture. The moraine here has very little fall, and a creek system with a shallow gradient backs up rather than carrying a storm away quickly.
Common moisture and mold problems in Oak Forest
- Very flat moraine grade, so storm water leaves slowly and stands against foundations
- A shallow-gradient creek system that backs up rather than draining a heavy June storm
- 1970s basements at the depth where the seasonal perched table sits in the till
- Downspouts tied into a sewer system that surcharges during the same storms
