Local conditions in South Holland

Local housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 88.2 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1966. Mid-century housing over full basements sits on ground that was marsh and wet prairie before it was drained. The Calumet basin is one of the flattest in the region, and the river through it moves slowly in the best conditions, so the ground beneath these houses is wet by nature and dry only by engineering.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 41.46 inches that arrive in an average year, 5.06 fall in June; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 4.1 miles away at HOMEWOOD 0.1 ESE. June brings the heaviest rain to a basin where the river has so little gradient that it backs up rather than carrying flow away. When the Little Calumet is high, the storm sewers that discharge to it stop working, and water that fell on the village stays in the village.
Common water damage problems in South Holland
- A river with so little fall that it backs up instead of carrying flow away
- Storm sewers losing their outfall whenever the river runs high
- Old marsh ground with a naturally high table, kept usable only by drainage works
- Mid-century basements sitting at or below that seasonal table for weeks at a time
