Local conditions in Kankakee
Serving Kankakee and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 5.2 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1956. Almost the entire stock is pre-1990, mid-century and older housing over full basements. The river here has a rock bed rather than a deep alluvial one, which gives it a different character from most Illinois rivers: it rises and falls more sharply and has less floodplain storage to absorb a rise.
Climate & seasonal risk
Kankakee averages 41.66 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at KANKAKEE METRO WASTEWATER 2.6 miles away, with June the wettest month at 5.21 inches. June brings the wettest month, and the river responds to rainfall across an agricultural basin upstream. With a rock bed and limited floodplain, the level moves more quickly than a deep-alluvium river would, so the interval between upstream rain and a local rise is shorter.
Common water damage problems in Kankakee
- A rock-bedded river with limited floodplain storage, so levels move sharply
- An agricultural basin upstream delivering runoff efficiently through field drainage
- Foundations from before tile was routine, with the wall doing all the work
- Original clay building sewers across neighborhoods of one construction era
