Frozen pipes, ice dams on roofs, and spring snowmelt seepage are common sources of water damage.
Many homes are wood-frame construction from the 1960s through the 1980s, often with crawl spaces or basements and heating systems that run most of the year.
Alaska's long, cold winters make frozen pipes and ice dams the leading causes of water damage, and heating equipment runs for much of the year.

Call Now (833) 502-4258Freezing weather and burst pipes
Hard freezes are one of the most common causes of hardwood floor water damage in Alaska. Pipes in exterior walls, attics, crawl spaces, and unheated garages can split, and the leak often starts only when the pipe thaws. The American Red Cross advises keeping the heat at 55°F or higher when you are away and letting faucets on exterior walls drip during extreme cold.
Ice dams and ceiling leaks
Heavy snow in Alaska leads to ice dams, where meltwater backs up under shingles and runs into attics, insulation, and ceilings. The damage often appears as stains or bulging drywall days after a thaw, so hardwood floor water damage usually includes checking the attic and wall cavities, not just the visible spot.
- Appliance leaks in kitchens
- Overflows and pipe bursts
- Wet rugs left on floors
- Leaks from below in crawl spaces
