Local conditions in Oak Lawn
Serving Oak Lawn and the surrounding area, including Garden Homes.
Local housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 87.7 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1966. Postwar brick on full basements, laid out to one pattern across a couple of decades. Most have a floor drain connected to a pipe that carries storm water and waste together.
Climate & seasonal risk
May alone accounts for 11.7 percent of the 40.32 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 1.6 miles away at OAK LAWN 1.6 WNW. May leads at under five inches within forty for the year. The system here is beaten by rate rather than by the total that falls.
Common water damage problems in Oak Lawn
- One main beneath the street taking the roof water and the waste together
- Compacted till that behaves closer to pavement than to soil in a storm
- A village built out to one pattern, so a defect exists at very many addresses
- Basements finished as living space without the drainage being reconsidered
