Local housing stock
Building in Streamwood clusters in the early 1980s: the median unit dates to 1981, with 68.3 percent finished before 1990. Mostly 1960s through 1980s subdivision housing over full basements on till, laid out around a creek corridor that was preserved rather than built over. That preservation is unusual and useful: the floodplain is available to flood, which keeps water off streets that would otherwise carry it.
Climate & seasonal risk
June is the wettest month here at 4.72 inches, part of an annual 38.02 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from STREAMWOOD, 0.3 miles off. June brings the wettest month to slow-draining till with very little natural gradient. Where the creek corridor remains open, high water spreads into ground designed to take it; where subdivisions sit close to that corridor, the boundary between the two is what determines a given lot's exposure.
Common water damage problems in Streamwood
- Proximity to the creek corridor as the main determinant of a lot's exposure
- Slow-draining till holding the seasonal table high for days after a storm
- Basements from an era when tile and vapor control were not standard
- Subdivision swales interrupted by decades of landscaping and fencing
