Basement waterproofing in Juneau, AK
Juneau, Alaska's capital, sits in a temperate rainforest on the Gastineau Channel with no road connection to the rest of the state. It gets far more rain than most of Alaska, and steep slopes, glacial outwash and high groundwater make drainage the dominant foundation concern.

What kind of homes and basements does Juneau have?
Downtown and Douglas have older homes built on steep slopes with stepped foundations; the Mendenhall Valley has postwar and newer homes on glacial outwash, many with crawl spaces.
What causes basement and foundation problems in Juneau?
Heavy year-round rain
Constant rain keeps soils saturated; drainage around foundations must run reliably.
Steep-slope runoff
Downtown homes take water from slopes above; landslide-prone areas need engineering review.
Glacial flood events
Mendenhall River glacial outburst floods have affected valley homes in recent years.
Crawl space moisture
Damp crawl spaces rot framing in the wet climate.
Rain-driven siding leaks
Wind-driven rain can enter through siding and windows and run down inside walls to the foundation. Moisture at the sill plate is sometimes mistaken for foundation leaks.

Why is my Juneau crawl space always wet?
