Local housing stock
Only 8.3 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1959. Nine in ten homes predate 1990, on full basements with a floor drain connected to a pipe carrying storm water and waste together. That drain is the lowest opening in the building.
Climate & seasonal risk
Chicago Heights averages 42.1 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at PARK FOREST 2.6 miles away, with June the wettest month at 4.91 inches. June leads at under five inches within forty-two for the year. A combined system fails on rate rather than total, so a short intense cell does what a wet week does not.
Common water damage problems in Chicago Heights
- Waste and storm water sharing a single pipe that fills on rate rather than volume
- Ground that turns an ordinary afternoon of rain straight into sewer flow
- Position at the head of a creek system, with very little fall available anywhere
- Basements of a single era, finished as living space without the plumbing being changed
