What Makes Fairbanks Different
Fairbanks winters are long, dark and very cold, and temperatures can reach 40 below or colder in a hard cold snap. A heating failure can freeze pipes within hours. A frozen pipe often leaks only when it thaws, so check crawlspaces, exterior walls, arctic entries and garages after any heat loss.
Fairbanks sits on the Chena River near where it meets the Tanana. In August 1967 the Chena flooded much of the city, and a flood control dam built upstream afterward now holds back high water. Homes on low ground near the rivers and sloughs should still check their flood risk. Permafrost under some neighborhoods thaws unevenly, which can crack foundations and bend water and sewer lines.
Summer brings wildfire smoke from fires across the interior, so close windows and run a HEPA air cleaner. Tightly sealed homes can trap moisture in winter, which shows up as frost and condensation on windows and mold in corners and closets. Never run a generator indoors or in a garage, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.

Checking a License in Fairbanks
Alaska requires contractors to register with the state Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing and to carry a bond and liability insurance. Contractors who build or remodel homes also need a residential endorsement. Ask for the registration number and look it up with the state before you sign. Plumbers and electricians need state trade licenses too. Alaska has no separate mold license, so ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance.
