Q&A

What should I do if my pipes are at risk of freezing in Anchorage?

Frozen and burst pipes are a serious concern in our climate. First, know where your main water shut-off valve is. For prevention, keep cabinet doors open to let warm air circulate around pipes, and let a faucet drip slightly during extreme cold snaps. If you suspect a freeze, call us immediately. Our team has specific experience with permafrost-related pipe movement and valve freezing. We can assess the situation, safely thaw pipes if possible, and make lasting repairs to prevent future issues, helping protect your home from water damage.

How often should I have my water heater serviced in Alaska?

We recommend an annual inspection for your water heater, especially given our hard water and cold temperatures which can strain the system. During a service visit, we check the anode rod, flush sediment that reduces efficiency, inspect the pressure relief valve, and ensure all connections are secure. This routine maintenance from our licensed technicians can extend the life of your unit, improve its efficiency, and help prevent unexpected failures, saving you money on energy bills and costly emergency repairs.

Do you offer plumbing inspections for older homes in Anchorage?

Yes, we provide thorough plumbing inspections for homes of any age. For older Anchorage properties, we pay special attention to potential issues like outdated piping materials, signs of corrosion, and how the plumbing system has adapted—or may be stressed by—our unique ground conditions. An inspection can identify small leaks, inefficient fixtures, or vulnerable pipes before they become major problems. It's a proactive way to maintain your home's value and avoid disruptive emergencies, giving you peace of mind about your property's plumbing health.
