Drying Older Housing Stock After a Water Event
Joliet's East Side Historic District holds 290 buildings, many dating to 1852-1873, and towns like Lockport and Crest Hill carry their own older housing waves tied to the region's canal and postwar history. Framing and finishes that old can hide moisture well past the point a surface looks dry, and full structural drying after a water event in this kind of housing stock usually takes longer than the visible damage suggests.
