Local housing stock
Of roughly 4,955 housing units, about 3,862 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1958. Nearly four in five homes predate 1990, brick on full basements, most with a floor drain connected to the street. That drain is the lowest opening in the house and the first place a surcharged main makes itself known.
Climate & seasonal risk
Lincolnwood averages 39.81 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at LINCOLNWOOD 1.8 E 1.8 miles away, with May the wettest month at 4.77 inches. May leads at under five inches. The events that cause trouble are short and intense rather than long, because a combined system fails on rate rather than on total.
Common water damage problems in Lincolnwood
- One pipe carrying both storm water and waste, so a heavy hour surcharges the whole of it
- Basement floor drains sitting lower than the street main they connect to
- Postwar basements finished as living space without the plumbing being reconfigured
- Short intense cells overwhelming a system that copes easily with a long soaking rain
