Your Local Water Damage Services Experts in Selawik
Water damage in Selawik rarely looks the same twice. A home in Northwest Arctic can take on water from a burst pipe in a winter freeze, a summer thunderstorm that drops inches of rain in an afternoon, or a slow leak behind a wall that no one notices for weeks. Alaska’s long winters, deep snow and spring breakup make frozen pipes, ice dams and snowmelt flooding the state’s most common water damage risks.
Selawik is a small community of 849 residents, where a single storm or burst pipe can affect a noticeable share of the town.
We cover Selawik and nearby Kiana, Noorvik, Buckland, Kotzebue, and every call starts the same way: an assessment that maps the water, an extraction that gets it out, and drying that is measured with moisture meters, not estimated by eye. Call (833) 546-4116 and we will confirm the fastest available arrival window.

Common Water Damage Problems in Selawik
River flooding and ice jams
Ice jams on the Yukon and other rivers can back water up suddenly, flooding villages and riverside homes with little warning. Homes in Selawik see this one often, and it is usually worse than it looks at first.
Coastal storm flooding
Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska storms push surge and heavy rain into coastal communities, flooding homes built close to the water. In Selawik, this is one of the first things we check during the assessment.
Rain-on-snow flooding
Fall storms in southeast Alaska bring warm rain onto the snowpack, melting it fast and flooding streams and low-lying neighborhoods. Homes in Selawik see this one often, and it is usually worse than it looks at first.
Groundwater seepage in thawing ground
Thawing permafrost and a high water table let water into basements and crawl spaces, especially in homes built on low or poorly drained ground. In Selawik, this is one of the first things we check during the assessment.
Signs You Need a Water Damage Pro in Selawik
- A musty smell that lingers — in Selawik this usually means damp drywall or carpet, and mold is often already growing behind it.
- Floors that warp or paint that bubbles — both mean wood or drywall has been absorbing water, usually from a leak nearby.
- Water stains on ceilings or walls — a stain usually means water has been travelling inside the wall for a while.
- A water bill that suddenly jumps — a hidden leak can waste hundreds of gallons a day without a single visible puddle.
- Visible mold or dark spots — mold after water damage needs professional drying and cleaning, not just bleach on the surface.

Seasonal Water Damage Tips for Selawik
Spring
Spring breakup brings snowmelt and ice jams. Check the roof for ice dam damage, clear drainage around the foundation, and watch river levels if you live near the water.
Summer
Summer brings rain and coastal storms, especially in the southeast. Check gutters and crawl spaces, and watch for leaks around windows and doors after every big storm.
Fall
Freeze-up is coming. Winterize the pipes, drain outdoor lines, and insulate any exposed runs before the first hard freeze.
Winter
Winter in Alaska means months of subzero cold. Keep the heat on, drip faucets on the coldest nights, and clear snow from roof edges before ice dams form.
