Anchorage homes stay shut tight for much of the year, so moisture from a leak can linger and feed mold out of sight. We track down the water source first. Then we contain the area, remove the mold, and dry everything out.

Why Water Damage Gets Worse the Longer It Sits
Speed matters more than anything else. Drywall, wood, and carpet pad start soaking up water within hours. When they dry out in a day or two, mold usually never gets a foothold.
Anchorage gets only about 16.5 inches of rain and melted snow in a normal year. But on August 21, 1997, the airport recorded 2.76 inches in a single day. That’s about a sixth of a normal year’s total, and it’s still the wettest day on record there.
A floor can feel dry and still hold water underneath. Water runs under vinyl, tile, and laminate and soaks into the subfloor. We test below the surface before we sign off on any room.
Homeowners, landlords, and business owners across the Municipality of Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley call us all year.

Common Causes of Water Damage in Anchorage
-
Heavy snow
Anchorage got 134.5 inches of snow in the winter of 2011–12, the most on record. In 2024, the city passed 100 inches by January 29, earlier than in any year since record-keeping began.
-
Earthquakes
The magnitude 7.1 earthquake on November 30, 2018, broke water lines across the area. Afterward, more than 3,000 people asked the city for damage assessments, and crews spent days cleaning up water damage.
-
Ice dams
Winter warm spells melt roof snow, and it refreezes along the eaves. In the winter of 2022–23, ice damming and heavy snow played a part in at least 16 roof failures in Anchorage.
-
Appliance leaks
A washer hose, dishwasher line, or ice-maker line can split without any warning. A slow leak behind the machine can keep going for days before you spot it.
More than half of Anchorage’s homes went up during the 1970s and ’80s building boom, and plumbing that age tends to leak first. In newer homes, a small leak can hide behind fresh drywall.
How we help
How We Handle Water Damage
We start by stopping the source and pumping out standing water. Next, we set up air movers and dehumidifiers. Every day, we take moisture readings until the numbers show the space is dry.
Hardwood needs a careful hand. We remove the water quickly, then dry the boards slowly so they don’t split. Boards that have cupped badly usually can’t be saved.
When water gets inside a wall, we cut a small opening so air can reach the studs. Repairs begin only after every reading says dry. Our cleanup crew also does the rebuild, so you deal with the same people from start to finish.
Water damage rarely comes alone

Our process
Our Anchorage Water Damage Restoration Process

We arrive and inspect

- 3
We cut out ruined drywall
Drywall that swelled or sat in water has to go. We remove it now and replace it during repairs. Sections that stayed firm can dry in place.

We compare it with a dry room
We take moisture readings in the wet rooms. Then we take readings in a dry room in the same house. Once the numbers match up, the wet rooms are dry.

We wipe down hard surfaces
We clean cabinets, counters, and other hard surfaces with mild soap and let them air dry. Tough spots get scrubbed.
- 6
We work with your insurance
Your insurance company gets our photos, moisture readings, and estimate. We work with your adjuster through the whole claim, so you don’t have to handle it by yourself.

Common questions
Water Damage Restoration in Anchorage: FAQs
How fast can 24 Hour Flood Pros get to me?
A crew can be at your door within 45 minutes. We’re available 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call as soon as you notice the damage.
What should I do first if a pipe bursts in my Anchorage home?
Shut off the main water valve, then open a faucet to drain the line. Move rugs and furniture out of the wet area. If the pipe froze, check other pipes on outside walls too. A broken pipe often leaks inside the wall, so call us and we’ll find where the water went.
What’s the difference between water damage and flood damage?
Water damage starts inside the house, like a burst pipe or a leaking water heater. Flood damage comes from water rising outside and covering ground that’s normally dry. The difference matters because most standard home policies don’t cover flooding. If you live near Campbell Creek, Chester Creek, or Ship Creek, ask your agent about flood coverage.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes. We work with all major carriers, including State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, American Family, Travelers, and Nationwide. Starting on the first visit, we take the photos and moisture readings adjusters look for and send them to your carrier. When your policy covers the damage, we bill your insurance directly.
How much does water damage restoration cost in Anchorage?
The inspection and estimate are free, so you’ll know the cost before any work starts. Your estimate breaks down each wet room, what can dry in place, and what needs to be removed and rebuilt. A small leak caught early costs much less than water that has spread through several rooms.
