Why does the western edge of the city have so many codes next to each other?
The 99517 area has 99503 and 99502 as its nearest covered neighbours, about 2.3 km and 3.0 km away. A call from the edge of one code is often served from the next, and the line routes the nearest free crew to the address rather than to the code.
For that reason the owner should give the full address when calling and say which side of the street the water is on. The crew that is sent will know its route and will arrive with the equipment that matches the building.
How does a water loss behave in a house on the western grid?
A water loss in a house on this side of the city usually runs down through the framing from a supply line, a drain or an appliance, and it reaches the lowest part of the house before anything shows on the surface. The stain on a ceiling or a wall is often the last sign, and the damp in a crawl space or basement is the first.
The crew reads the lowest floor first, then works up through the wet framing. Each reading is recorded against a plan of the house, so the path of the water can be shown to the insurer and to the plumber.
What does a crew need to see before it starts drying?
Before any drying starts, the crew needs the source to be stopped. A supply line that is still running, a drain that is still backing up or a roof that is still leaking will keep adding water, and the drying plan cannot finish until the source is closed. The crew confirms that before the equipment is set.
It also needs to see the power. Wet outlets, panels and wiring are confirmed off before the crew enters the wet area, and the record notes the time the power was confirmed. The equipment is then placed by the readings and the materials, not by a standard layout.
What is the owner responsible for after the drying?
The owner is responsible for the repairs on the owner's side of the meter, which means the supply line, the drain and the appliances inside the house, and for the roof and the grade outside. The crew does not carry out those repairs, but it records where each problem is so the right trade can be called.
The owner is also responsible for keeping the record. The log, the photographs and the list of materials removed are what the insurer will ask for, and they are the basis for any reconstruction quote.

FAQ
Anchorage ZIP 99517 FAQs
Is 99517 a city code?
Yes. It is on the western side of the city, and it is covered by the same crews and the same utility as the rest of the city.
Who should I call first for a leak on my side of the meter?
The utility, for a break on its side. For a break inside the house, call a plumber, and call the line here so the crew can dry the house. The crew confirms which side the water is on.
Will the crew remove my carpet?
Carpet is lifted where water has gone through the pad, because the pad holds water for a long time. Carpet that dries without losing its backing can be re-laid.
Does a floor drain in the basement need to be checked?
Yes, if water came up through it or if water is standing near it. A blocked floor drain holds water on the slab, and the crew checks that the drain is clear before the drying plan is set.
How do I know when the house is dry?
The crew reads each area against a dry reference and writes the readings in a log. The house is released when every area is at or near the reference, and the log is given to you at the end.
