Local housing stock
Only 65.5 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1999. Because most of it is newer, nearly every house has a full basement with perimeter drain tile and a sump, which is the regional standard rather than a luxury. That system is also the single point of failure: when the pump stops or the discharge freezes or blocks, the basement is the lowest point for a long way in any direction.
Climate & seasonal risk
Frankfort averages 40.79 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at NEW LENOX 3.3 E 2.6 miles away, with June the wettest month at 4.71 inches. June brings the year's heaviest rain onto till that drains slowly and a landscape with very little natural fall. The water table rises within a day of a heavy storm, and drain tile that spends most of the year idle suddenly has to run continuously to keep a basement floor dry.
Common water damage problems in Frankfort
- Sump systems carrying the whole load during June storms, with no second path if the pump fails
- Discharge lines that freeze or silt closed between seasons and are not discovered until they are needed
- Slow-draining glacial till raising the water table for days after a storm rather than hours
- Finished basements in newer stock, where a few inches of water reaches drywall, carpet, and mechanicals at once
