Local housing stock
Of roughly 53,814 housing units, about 28,288 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1985. The stock spans an older industrial core near the river and canal and extensive newer subdivision growth beyond it. Quarrying left large excavations and altered drainage across parts of the city, so what lies beneath a given property varies more than the flat surface suggests.
Climate & seasonal risk
Joliet averages 40.22 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at JOLIET 2.9 WNW 2.2 miles away, with June the wettest month at 4.77 inches. June brings the heaviest rain to a river valley that also carries canal and industrial infrastructure. Water moving through fractured limestone and old workings follows routes set by the rock and by past excavation rather than by the surface, which is why some properties take water with nothing visible outside.
Common water damage problems in Joliet
- Quarrying and industrial excavation altering drainage across parts of the city
- Fractured limestone carrying water along joints rather than uniformly through soil
- An older core close to the river and canal, at the lowest elevation available
- Newer subdivisions above with drain tile and sumps as their only defense
