What drying runs into in Fairbanks
Serving Fairbanks and the surrounding area, including Clear Creek Park, Aurora, Slaterville, Lemeta, Hamilton Acres, South Fairbanks.
Local housing stock
74.1 percent of Fairbanks's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1979, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1979 with three quarters of the stock older, the houses stand on ground that is permanently frozen below the surface layer, and the warmth of an occupied building slowly thaws the frozen soil under its footprint.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 62.3 degrees against -7.4; the 13.01 inches a year peak in July at 2.62, both figures recorded at AURORA, 2.4 miles away. July is the wettest month at 2.62 inches of a 13-inch year with seven months averaging a freeze and January lows near fifteen below, so precipitation is slight; the water that matters here is already in the ground, locked up as ice.
How water losses tend to end in Fairbanks
- Ice in the soil melting under the building, so the ground loses volume where the house is warmest
- Settlement that is uneven and continuing, so floors and walls go out of true over years
- Water released underground, so a thawing foundation produces water with nothing having leaked
