Local housing stock
Building in Anchorage clusters in the early 1980s: the median unit dates to 1982, with 68.9 percent finished before 1990. Seven in ten homes predate 1990, built for a subarctic climate with deep frost and long winters. Much of the ground is glacial material with silt layers that hold water, and permafrost is present in some areas, so what lies beneath a foundation varies more than the surface suggests.
Climate & seasonal risk
Of the 22.55 inches that arrive in an average year, 3.64 fall in September; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 4.2 miles away at EAGLE RVR NATURE CTR. September brings the wettest month at under four inches, and the water that damages buildings here mostly arrives frozen. Snow accumulates for months and the melt releases it over a short spring window onto ground still frozen well below the surface, with nowhere for it to go but across the top.
Common water damage problems in Anchorage
- A compressed spring melt releasing months of snow onto deeply frozen ground
- Extended subfreezing periods splitting lines in crawl spaces and unheated structures
- Silt layers in glacial ground that hold water rather than letting it drain
- Ice damming on roofs through a long winter with heavy accumulation
