What we see in Des Plaines
Serving Des Plaines and the surrounding area, including Riverview.
Local housing stock
Only 21.1 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1966. Post-war frame and brick on full basements, a 1966 median with 79 percent standing before 1990, on clay lots graded for the airport boom rather than for a river floodplain.
Climate & seasonal risk
May is the wettest month here at 4.49 inches, part of an annual 37.86 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from CHICAGO OHARE INTL AP, 3.2 miles off. May's 4.49 inches is a spring peak on dense clay. The river rises with the same rain, so the outfalls lock and the 1960s basements — the local low points on a flat clay plain — take the surcharge. O'Hare paving just upstream does not help the hydrograph.
Common moisture and mold problems in Des Plaines
- Des Plaines River outfalls locking when May rain raises the channel, reversing basement drains
- Airport-era clay lots so flat and dense that 4.49 inches perches against foundation walls
- A 1966 basement stock whose floor drains were tied to a system that surcharges in spring
- O'Hare paving accelerating runoff into a river that the city is named for and cannot get out of
