What Gets Tracked Into Northwest Arctic Borough Homes
Northwest Arctic Borough sits across USDA hardiness zones 1b to 3a, with winter lows from -55 to -40 degrees F. That cold shapes how soil reaches your floor. From September through June, the ground is frozen and covered with gravel, and the only surface up here is the gravel pad and road. Gravel dust from those pads and roads is what actually carries into your home, along with fine tundra silt that blows in during the short summer.
That material is abrasive, and it does not behave like ordinary dirt. It settles at the base of the carpet pile, and with every step, those sharp grains grind against the fiber. That grinding is wear, not staining, and vacuuming cannot undo it. The damage shows up as dull, thin patches in the traffic lanes long before any stain appears. Regular extraction cleaning lifts the abrasive particles out of the pile, which slows that wear and keeps your carpet serviceable for years longer.

Pricing Across Northwest Arctic Borough
One rate card applies in every town in the county, so you never pay more because of where you live. A standard room is $60, with hot water extraction and pre-treatment included. A hall or landing costs $35, priced separately from rooms. A staircase costs $60 per staircase, no matter how many steps it has. Pet odor treatment adds $50 per room to the room price.
Rug, tile, hardwood, stone, upholstery, vehicle, and water damage work is quoted after we look at the job, because no price is published for those services and guessing one would be dishonest.
