WHY THIS INFRASTRUCTURE WORK IS IMPORTANT

PRESENT DAY

Some homes in the Birch Hill neighborhood, are experiencing notable water intrusion into basements. AMH has historically (both proactively and retroactively) addressed these issues using two methods in this neighborhood.

• Foundation Sealing: For more serve entry, AMH utilizes a contract team to excavate around part or all of the foundation and apply a seal using a waterproofing membrane.
• Drain/Grade Rework: AMH regrades around the home and installs French drains to push water away from the home.

AREAS OF CONCERN

Intrusion occurs through foundation, and instances increase during heavy rainfall. In some instances, past repairs have been reliable, in others they have not. AMH requires a more consistent solution to address the uptick of recent leaks.

WHAT TO EXPECT

AMH is in the process of gathering information and receiving bids for a comprehensive solution to foundation leaks impacting some homes.

Our primary concerns are securing a solution that can be performed quickly (i.e. skilled labor availability), safely, has a high chance of long-term success, and that overall minimizes impact to residents.

• If you live in Birch Hill and are impacted by this issue and have not reported it, please contact our emergency maintenance line at (907) 753-1023.
• If you experience additional water intrusion, or notice an area that is wet, or see signs of mold or mildew, please contact our emergency maintenance line at (907) 753-1023; we will dispatch a water extraction/remediation team.
• AMH will require entry to all homes impacted and will begin contacting residents on 19 August 2024 to schedule an in-person assessment. This assessment will help us better coordinate a response with our contract teams.
