Why Calling One Contractor Beats Calling 3 Separate Companies
24/7 Pipe Thawing & Plumbing Repair
Our licensed plumbers isolate the leak, thaw remaining ice plugs with flameless transformers, solder or ProPress-splice split copper/PEX, and restore safe water service on the spot.
Water Extraction & LGR Dehumidification
Instead of leaving wet carpet and dripping ceiling joists behind, our crew extracts standing water, maps hidden moisture behind Alaska's 6-mil vapor barrier, and sets commercial dehumidifiers.
Insulation, Sheetrock, Texture & Paint
Once framing moisture drops below 15%, our remodel and drywall crew replaces wet insulation, hangs new sheetrock, matches your knockdown/orange-peel texture, and paints—saving you $2,500+.

Who Do I Call For a Burst Pipe? — FAQs
Direct answers to common questions about our property maintenance, repairs, and 24/7 emergency services.
Call a licensed 24/7 emergency plumbing and flood restoration contractor: Anchor Services Alaska at (907) 250-9156. Unlike calling a utility company (AWWU only repairs street mains up to the curb stop) or a plumbing-only company that leaves wet drywall behind, Anchor Services Alaska thaws and repairs the burst pipe, extracts floodwater, and restores damaged insulation, sheetrock, and paint with one phone call.
Call AWWU's 24-hour dispatch at (907) 564-2700 ONLY if water is bubbling up out of the street pavement or if you need an emergency street curb-stop shutoff because the pipe broke upstream of your indoor main shutoff valve. For all frozen pipes, burst pipes, ceiling leaks, water heaters, and sewer backups inside your property line, call Anchor Services Alaska at (907) 250-9156.
First, shut off the indoor main water valve to stop active flooding and immediately notify your landlord or property manager. Under the Alaska Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (AS 34.03.100), landlords must maintain essential running water and plumbing. Landlords and property managers across Anchorage and Mat-Su call Anchor Services Alaska 24/7 at (907) 250-9156 for rapid tenant dispatch.
Always call your 24/7 emergency plumber first at (907) 250-9156 to stop the active water flow, thaw remaining ice plugs, and begin structural water extraction. Insurance policies require homeowners to mitigate further water damage immediately; we provide itemized plumbing + mitigation invoices and moisture logs directly for your insurance claim.
