For the leak, the no-heat morning, the roof that started dripping at 9pm: call (877) 454-8068. The desk is open 7am–10pm ET, every day. Tell us what is happening and where.

Snow load and frost depth are design conditions in Anchorage, where the median home dates to 1982 and about 45 percent predate 1980. Pipes freeze fast in a crawl space or an unheated garage, and roofs carry weight all winter. The housing mix runs from older compact homes near the center to newer construction on the edges, and three ZIP codes cover a lot of ground. Summer is short, which compresses roofing and exterior work into a few months.

What that means for a call

Hard freezes and older housing are a difficult combination. In Anchorage, where the median home was built in 1982 and about 45% predate 1980, a winter call often starts with a pipe on an exterior wall or a shutoff that has not moved in years.

Local watch-outs

  • Know where the main water shutoff is before a pipe freezes. During a deep freeze, open the cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls and let a faucet trickle.
  • Clear snow from vents, gutters, and the areas around exterior equipment. Do not bury a gas meter, and keep the furnace exhaust and intake clear.
